I have a Fagor "Duo" set and I love it. I'm a single guy that can't cook but I can using a pressure cooker. I've made so many different meals then I freeze the rest.
I do tradtional Chinese village cooking. I went to China last year to learn more. Check out my channel if you like. I think I can adapt my recipes to use your pressure cooker.
PS to my below post: if i do not have a steamer insert like you have as seen here, can I use a steamer insert the older type one puts inside a regular pain the kind with holes in it ,it steams broccoli etc. ? ty again!
helpful, ty! a question, I have just bought my 1st fagor pressure cooker and was wondering mine only has no heat settings ...does this mean I am very limited in what i may cook? ty anyone! :) 5/2/11
Why on earth wouldn't they have shown the results?! I want to see if the risoto stuck to the bottom or not. ALSO, these videos very clearly state that the timing starts when the yellow button pops up, whereas I'm pretty sure the Fagor instructions say when steam starts to be released from the valve. These are the kind of details that keep me from trying different recipes... I own a Fagor Duo, but use it rarely, because I'm hesitant.
Thanks for the great tips. I also use my Fagor for deep frying. I gave away my Fry Daddy because it was not as good at keeping the proper temp when food was added.
I live near Lake Michigan. I've owned a Fagor for 5 years. There is absolutely no rusting what so ever. 18/10 means 18% chromium/ 10% nickle. If you have a "high grade" stainless steel that's 18/0 (no nickle) it is less corrosive resistent. 18/10 does not "rust" as you think of regular steel rusting with a red oxide on the surface that flakes off. f you see red rust it is probably due to some iron particles that have contaminated the surface.
High quality kitchen grade stainless steel won't rust unless you live underwater. I bought one for $79 and it has a 10 year warranty. I'll own it till I die.
Yes you can use running cold water instead of the steam release. It's recommended in their manual to lower the temperature faster for things like vegetables. Fast steam release can take about a minute, cold water takes about 10 seconds and it does make a difference when cooking things that take less than 4 minutes to cook.
That's a pretty heartless statement don't you think?
ReplyDeleteYou don't happen to live in Boston do you?
ReplyDeleteLOL They didn't even bother to show the final results.
