While not a new method, the technology has certainly been transformed over the years to be easier and safer than ever. Constructed from 18/10 stainless steel for long-lasting durability, this 8-quart pressure cooker makes it possible to save up to 70 percent of the time and energy traditionally used in cooking rice, meat, and vegetables. The cooker's lid offers a long handle made of black heat-resistant plastic for comfortable use. A safety-lock handle, visual pressure indicator, and an automatic pressure-release setting ensure the lid won't come off unintentionally. For added convenience, the cooker provides a handy basket insert, complete with legs and a loop handle--great for draining pasta or steaming vegetables. Dishwasher-safe parts make cleanup a snap, and an instruction manual and recipe book come included. Designed for use on all heat sources, the pressure cooker measures approximately 17-1/5 by 11 by 10 inches and carries a 10-year warranty.

This review is from: Fagor 8-Quart Stainless-Steel Pressure Cooker with Steamer Basket (Kitchen)
I received the Fagor Duo (8-Qt.) and it was indeed the stainless steel 'Duo' model and not the non-stick version some reviewers received. The handle was not broken (also as some mentioned).

After quickly perusing the instructions and included recipe booklet, I made risotto (cook time = 7min). It worked like a champ. One thing to remember is the little yellow pop-up indicator merely alerts you to when there is pressure in the vessel, not to when the unit is at 'cooking' pressure. So leave the heat on until you see a slow but steady jet of steam from the selector switch. This is when you turn the heat to low and start timing. On my glasstop stove at medium heat, it took another 2 minutes after the pop up to reach cook pressure. I could have heated it on high but I decided to follow the instructions for electric stove users (as my glasstop retains heat fairly well). Risotto turned out great, clean up was a snap. The only caveat about clean up is that the instructions suggest you coat the gasket with a thin coat of veg. oil every time you clean it. I did and it wasn't a big deal but it may be something easily forgotten in the future.

I like this unit and am now addicted to pressure cooking. (seriously, risotto in 7 mins! (cooktime) - kick ass!)
