Fagor Splendid 2-in-1 5 Piece Pressure Cooker Set

Product Description


,Fagor Splendid 2-in-1 5 Piece Pressure Cooker Set ,Mirro 22-Quart Polished Aluminum Pressure Cooker/Canner ,Fagor Splendid 10-Quart Pressure Cooker/Canner ,Presto 01365 6-Quart Stainless Steel Pressure Cooker ,Futura by Hawkins Hard Anodized 5.0 Litre Pressure Cooker from Hawkins Product Description The rapid results produced by pressure cookers (a whole chicken in 20 minutes, cubed potatoes in a mere five minutes) make them a favorite among time-pressed chefs. This Splendid 2-in-1 system--which includes 4- and 6-quart pots (one deep and one shallow), a pressure cooker lid that fits both containers, a tempered glass lid, a steamer basket, and a recipe book--lives up to the billing admirably, offering such features as a visual pressure indicator, an automatic pressure release (which lets the chef release pressure without running the device under cold water), and a triple lock safety system that keeps users from inadvertently burning themselves. The Splendid pots are constructed of durable 18/10 stainless steel with aluminum-clad bottoms for superior heat conduction.
To use one of the pots, merely seal the food and liquids with the airtight lid, and then place the pressure cooker on a stove burner. The unit will bring the internal temperature up to 250 degrees F, building up pressurized steam that begins to quickly break down the fibers in the food. The method preserves the food's inherent vitamins, minerals, flavors, and aromas, while keeping it moist and succulent. Chefs who want to use the pots for traditional stovetop cooking will appreciate the glass lid, which seals tightly over the rims to trap moisture while letting users monitor the food's progress. The stainless-steel steamer basket fulfills another favorite function, holding vegetables such as broccoli or carrots over steaming water or serving as a colander insert for pasta. For added convenience, the 2-in-1 set comes with an instruction manual and recipe book. All Fagor pressure cookers carry a 10-year warranty.
What's in the Box: 4-quart pot, 6-quart pot, pressure cooker lid (fits both pots), tempered glass lid, pasta/steamer basket insert, recipe book, user's manual.

This review is from: Fagor Splendid 2-in-1 5 Piece Pressure Cooker Set (Kitchen)
This is my first pressure cooker and it works just fine. I had read a million reviews before finally purchasing one and was a little nervous about all the details and such but I didn't need to be. This is pretty idiot-proof...just put in the food and water, twist on the top, flip the lock and you're good to go!

Sure, you do need to check the steam output and lower the heat once it really starts going, but I have found that the worst thing that happens if you don't is that you get a little bit of stuff on the top of the pan as the steam rushes out really fast...nothing you can't just clean off.

Also, despite the manual saying to not put in dishwasher, I always do (aside from the gasket) and have had no probs after 4 months.

Thirty stitch programs include two types of one-step buttonholes, a hand-look quilt stitch, many decorative stitches, and construction stitches. Each stitch has a one-touch selector button and its optimal settings pre-programmed, but you can adjust the settings as you need whenever you want. Thirteen needle positions and a free arm with accessory storage that includes five snap-on presser feet are all also featured on this machine.
Automatic needle threader Automatic Needle Threader Sewing’s biggest timesaver. stitch length and width Adjustable Stitch Length and Width The right stitch settings every time. Drop and Sew bobbin system Drop & Sew Bobbin System Automatic bobbin thread pick up for quicker threading. Auto tension Auto Tension This system ensures stable stitch quality, whatever type of fabric is used. warranty Warranty 25-year limited warranty including 25 years parts, 5 years electronic, and 1 year labor. LED lights 2 StayBright LED Lights Two long-lasting bulbs (100,000 hours) illuminate the sewing surface for optimal viewing and stay cool regardless how long the machine is operated. Additional Features & Benefits Built-In Stretch Stitches Specially designed stitches that add strength and flexibility to seams, especially useful when sewing on knitwear and superstretch fabrics. Automatic Reverse Push the conveniently located automatic reverse button to sew in reverse and reinforce the stitch. 7mm Stitch Width Most stitches can be set for a maximum width of 7mm. When sewing decorative stitches or satin stitches, the wide stitches are bolder and more pronounced. Center Zigzag Taper When tapering with the zigzag stitch, the stitch tapers to the center, not the left or right. This provides a more attractive look when tapering into or out from a point. One-Step Automatic Precisely Balanced Built-In Buttonholes Buttonhole sewing is a simple one-step process, providing reliable results. Each side of the buttonhole is sewn in the same direction, creating beautifully balanced buttonholes. 6-Segment Feeding System This is a specially designed feed dog that ensures that the fabric is picked up and supported from the front of the presser foot to the rear. This makes for much more accurate feeding. 13 Needle Positions Needle position can be changed for individual projects, such as inserting zippers or cording and topstitching. Needle Stops in Up Position Needle always stops in the highest up position when your foot is lifted from the controller. When removing the fabric from the machine, it is easier if the needle is raised to highest position. Sewing Speed With a maximum sewing speed of 750 stitches-per-minute, projects can be sewn quickly. Six-Second Threading Thread a machine in six seconds¬--no tedious directions. Just follow the arrows on the machine, and you are threaded in a snap. Audible Tone An audible tone confirms pattern and function selection. Automatic Presser Foot Pressure Control The amount of pressure exerted on the fabric by the presser foot against the feed dogs is automatic. Sew from the lightest weight tricots to the heaviest denim, without making presser foot adjustments. Top Loading Jam-Proof Bobbin System with Clear Cover This mechanism incorporates a magnet-type vertical axis rotating hook that ensures smooth, quiet, thread jam-resistant sewing. The bobbin case floats above the hook, precluding thread jams. The bobbin loads from the top, so it is easy to insert the bobbin. The clear cover makes it easy to monitor the bobbin thread supply. Automatic Bobbin Winding Clutch Needle bar automatically disengages when winding the bobbin, making bobbin winding safer. On-Board Storage Storage of accessories in the closed-lid conversion-table-accessory storage area means accessories are always handy. Extra-High Presser Foot Lifter There are 2 heights to the presser foot lifter. The second height offers more clearance, which is needed when placing multiple layers of bulky fabric under the presser foot. Optimum Power Control A control system senses when additional power is required to maintain speed through thick or changing fabric conditions. This feature is most useful when sewing through multiple (six to eight) layers of fabric. Electronic Stitch Formation All stepper motors are electronically controlled. Digital electronic control of the stepper motors that control the pattern formation allows for perfectly formed patterns every time. Box Feed This is a feed dog motion that moves the feed dogs in a box motion, rather than the historic arc motion. Box motion assures perfect feeding throughout the entire feed process, as the feed dogs are always in perfect and equal contact with the fabric and presser foot. Aluminum Frame The internal skeleton of the sewing machine. This rigid support holds all the mechanisms in perfect alignment for perfect, skip-free sewing. Direct Drive The needle bar is geared straight from the motor, rather than from a drive bar across the machine. This make the machine more powerful and durable. DC Motor Provides instant start up and stop with no casting, for accurate and precise stitch placement. Electronic Foot Controller Guarantees consistent sewing speed with no jump starts. Free arm Provides professional results and easy access to cuffs, collars, pant hems and other difficult-to-reach areas. Thread Cutter Located for precise thread cutting, eliminating the extra step of cutting thread with scissors. 30 Stitch Patterns Including Two Fully Automatic One-Step Buttonholes A large variety of stitches for construction, fashion sewing, quilting, heirloom, crafts, home decorating and decorative sewing, always ensures the perfect stitch for every project. 7463 stitches Accessories pillow Accessories Included

I like this machine but the bobbin piece gives me so many problems plus it is so sensitive and fragile. I bought it last January 09 and I already purchased 4 bobbin case replacements. When I bought this machine I tought I won't have more bobbin problems like I used to have with my old Brother machine. Every bobbin case pieces costs between 20 and 30 dollars. I don't use that much I think. I start two projects and then I end up ordering a bobbin case online like every three months. Then the other day when I was putting the machine away I made some pressure on it and one of the little stich buttons broke. Sooo delicate. I am glad I kept my older machine just in case for replacement.

    This is a crafting tool, not a sewing machine, but if you like to needle felt, rug hook, crochet, etc. or other things that give you a lot of "fiber" materials in your crafting closet, this thing is marvy! You can take a piece of felt, burlap, muslin, and make tapestries and wall hangings with yarn, roving, bits and pieces of ribbon, etc. in half the time it would take to do it by hand. Although it will "join" materials together, it is not like an applique process where the pieces could potentillialy withstand a machine washing, so for garments you will probably need additional hand-sewing on elaborate creations. But -- it's fun and has "no rules" for use.

    I purchased this product thru Amazon, since my local retailers carry only the low end sewing machines, which didn't seem to fare well in the product reviews I found online. Previously, I had been using a Singer Touch and Sew Model 775 purchased over 30 years ago and it has seen a lot of duty. There are also no repair centers close by, so when my old machine developed multiple problems, I decided to buy a basic machine that could straight sew, zigzag, and make easy buttonholes - but not the bottom of the line machines. I couldn't find a lot of reviews on the model 7467, but the ones I did find were positive, so this seemed like a good fit eventhough I wasn't interested in all the fancy stitches. Unfornately, the machine performed well only on zigzag - the straight stitch was horrible. I tried various needles, threads, and tension settings, but once I had tried sewing a little heavier weight fabric, I couldn't get a quality straight stitch regardless of the adjustments. I returned the machine to the vendor, who promptly refunded my money - but it was a $55 expense with return shipping, insurance and restocking. I know they don't make them like they used to, but this machine was a piece of junk. The vendor said this is the first complaint he had on this model, so maybe mine was just a lemon.

    This review is from: Brother PQ1500S High Speed Quilting and Sewing Machine (Misc.)
    I bought this machine for my Grace Start Right quilt frame, but let me begin by saying first I had bought a Juki 2010Q to use on this frame and returned it because of a couple problems such as constant breaking thread and a needle threader that simply didn't work. Then bought the Brother PQ1500S and I am thoroughly satisfied with it. Through about 7 quilts now, I only had 2 thread breakages. It runs smoothe, quilts beautifully, and costs about $300 less than the Juki. I highly recommended it as a short arm quilt machine.
