Fagor Splendid 4-Quart Pressure Cooker Specifications

Pressure cooking uses pressurized steam to cook healthy meals with beans, grains, meat, poultry, and seafood in much less time than many other cooking methods require. This Splendid pressure cooker holds a maximum capacity of 4 quarts of Italian chicken soup or beans with sausage and works on all heat sources. The cooker is constructed of high-quality 18/10 stainless steel with an encapsulated aluminum base for even and efficient heat distribution. For safety, the pressure cooker has dual pressure settings on its handle--one in a dial control and another on a valve. Other safety measures include two pressure release valves and a locking handle to prevent the unit from opening while under pressure. A visual indicator lets you know when all the pressure has been released and the cooker is ready to open. This pressure cooker is dishwasher-safe. --Cristina Vaamonde

A good pressure cooker - M. Maldonado - United States
I've had one for a few years now and works very well.
No complaints.



Disappointing - Mark A. Gordon - Tucson, AZ United States
Having been raised with (Flex-Seal) pressure cookers since the 1940s and having used newer cookers (Presto and Innova) in recent decades, I bought a Fagor Splendid Fagor Splendid 4-Quart Pressure Cooker for our travel trailer to facilitate rapid cooking of pot roasts, potatoes, etc after we returned from, say, hiking. A second advantage is it compensates well for the lower boiling point of water at high altitude camp sites.

I'm disappointed with the Fagor and will soon replace it. My previous cookers used a weight to signal when the cooker reached cooking pressure (15 psi). The wobbling noise of their weights is easily heard, marking the "exact" time that cooking pressure is reached and making it possible to cook time-sensitive foods accurately such as broccoli. In contrast, the spring regulator mechanism of the Fagor is far, far from a crisp indicator of cooking onset. This makes it impossible to cook broccoli accurately, for example. In short, the Fagor regulator does not make the transition from low to cooking pressure obvious enough. (The yellow pop-up indicator is not an indicator of 15 psi pressure)

As far as I can tell, the Fagor regulator is working perfectly. It moves freely, and there is no food debris trapped in the mechanism. The smaller heat output of of trailer gas burner is not the problem. The same behavior occurs when we use it on our Viking domestic range where the Innova works extremely well. Conversely, the Innova works well on the trailer burner.

Otherwise, the construction quality of the Fagor Splendid is good, similar to the SS Presto for example.

My recommendation is to avoid this brand if you need a full-spectrum, versatile, pressure cooker. Buy a pressure cooker with a wobbling weight like a Presto or one with a precise visual indicator like a Kuhn Ricon.



A huge disappointment. Leaks incessantly. - Steve Prenner - Port Charlotte, FL United States
I'm terribly disappointed with this pressure cooker. It worked great for about two week and now it leaks incessantly near the handle nearly every time I use it. I've checked the seal and cleaned everything thoroughly. It doesn't matter how little water I use or how slowly I bring it up to a boil, it still leaks. I'm going to throw this out and buy a cheap Presto.
