Fagor Futuro 5-Piece Pressure-Cooker Set
Pressure cookers are gaining momentum as the new healthy, time-saving, and energy-saving way to prepare food. Pressure cooking also retains up to 50-percent more vitamins and minerals, and it requires less fat and oil when compared to other cooking methods, which means healthier, lower fat meals. While not a new method, the technology has certainly been transformed over the years to be easier and safer than ever. This six-piece set makes it possible to save up to 70 percent of the time and energy traditionally used in cooking rice, meat, and vegetables. The set includes a 4-quart pot, a 6-quart pot, a pressure-cooker lid that fits both pots, a tempered glass lid that fits both pots, and a stainless-steel steamer basket that rests on the inner ridge of the 6-quart pot, making it easy to prepare two dishes at the same time; the steamer basket can also be used as a food grater or a support trivet. Use the pots as pressure cookers with the pressure-cooker lid or as regular stockpots with the glass lid. An instruction manual and a "Tastefully Under Pressure" full-color cookbook with over 90 delicious recipes are also included.For safety, the pressure cooker features a triple valve safety system, a visual pressure indicator, and an auto-locking handle that prevents the lid from opening before all the pressure has been released. The user-friendly dial format of its spring-type mechanism offers two pressure settings--low (8 psi) and high (15 psi), and its easy-cleaning auto pressure-release valve reduces food-particle build-up. Constructed from 18/10 stainless steel, the cookware not only makes a beautiful addition to any kitchen collection, but it also ensure long-lasting, high-quality performance. Even more, its plastic, side loop handles and lid knob stay cool to the touch, and the 6-quart pot fits inside the 4-quart pot for compact storage. The cookware can be used on all types of domestic stovetops, including gas, electric, ceramic, and induction, and all parts except for the pressure lid are dishwasher-safe. Fagor covers the set with a 10-year limited warranty.Founded in Spain, Fagor manufactures home appliances and cookware with a "green" focus on environmentally sound working conditions for employees and energy efficiency for consumers.
