Amazon.com Review:
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. Made in Spain, 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

Rating : - Bad purchase
Fagor quality has really deteriorated in the past few years. I had originally bought this same cooker a few years back and it worked great but just bought a new one and the workmanship is terrible

The lid dosent close properly, it grinds as you try to cloes it, you can see that the pieces (top and the base) dont align well, the handle is a mess.

I would not buy this company product again
