Thank you for purchasing a Fagor
Pressure Cooker. We appreciate the
confidence you have placed in our
company by selecting one of our many
pressure cookers, and we are confident
that it will give you many years of excellent
service.
Surrounded by endless myths, pressure
cookers are probably the least understood
of cookware. This is unfortunate
since pressure cookers provide many
advantages over traditional cooking. First
and foremost, most foods can be cooked
in a fraction of the time it normally would
take, in most cases, cooking in up to one
third of the time. Since the food is being
cooked for such a shorter period, it is less
likely to lose its color and flavor, as well as
many of vital minerals and vitamins that
are normally washed away when cooking
in large quantities of water in an open pot,
for longer periods of time.
Made from high-quality, heavy-gauge
stainless steel, Fagor pressure
cookers are manufactured and designed
with a concern for function and safety,
meeting all international safety standards.
Fagor’s easy-to-use pressure regulators
make it simpler than ever to determine
the proper amount of pressure and how
to maintain it. The pressure release valves
signal when to lower or raise the burner
heat in order to maintain the level of
pressure desired.
We know that once you begin using your
Fagor Pressure Cooker, you’ll understand
why it is the single most important piece
of cookware you’ll ever own.
Before you begin cooking, it is important
that you read this detailed user’s manual
and make sure you understand how to
operate, care and maintain your Fagor
Pressure Cooker so that you will be able
to enjoy many years of use.
