Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Fagor 9 Piece Pressure Canning SetCustomer Review: I'm glad I went for the 10-quart but wish I had gotten the steamer set Summary: 5 Stars
I had a really hard time deciding which Fagor pressure canner to buy, and I almost wish now that I'd purchased the 10-quart one with the steamer insert instead of this set. It's not that this isn't a fantastic set, but I already had everything I needed to can with except for the canning rack. I realized after it all arrived that I probably could have found something suitable to fit this pressure canner at the thrift store. Now I'm using it to cook all kinds of things, and I really want/need that steamer basket!
What I want to say is that I was afraid of pressure cookers from childhood experiences in the fifties. Once my mother blew up her pressure cooker, splattering super-hot food all over the kitchen. I'll never forget it. It was like a bomb going off! Then one day she couldn't get it open at all and wound up throwing it out in the garden to see if it would ever loosen up enough to open it. (It never did, and we had to eat oatmeal for dinner that night.) So, understandably, I was nervous the first few times I used my new pressure canner, but I shouldn't have been. Once I stopped forgetting to push the pressure knob into position, it works predictably, and I find cooking is a whole heck of a lot easier now than I did before. I realize, too, why my mother's chuck roasts were so divine and why mine couldn't hold a candle to hers: She cooked hers in the pressure cooker!
I won't regale you with what high-quality products the Fagor pressure cookers are. Let's just say that I've fallen in love with mine. And the day I cooked my first cheesecake in my pressure canner (using Lorna Sass's method from "Pressure Perfect") and it tasted as good as the best New York-style cheesecake I've ever had, I figured I'd just about died and gone to heaven!
I wish Fagor would come up with a two-sided laminated chart (suitable for the fridge door) with basic timing charts for various meats, vegetables, beans, and grains; package it with their steamer basket (or the steamer/grater accessory that Amazon doesn't carry); and sell it in a set like they do the canner accessories, attractively priced.
P.S., and this is important: I almost bought the Duo 8&4-quart set, but then I learned that you cannot reliably can in anything smaller than the 10-quart. My fears that the pressure canner was going to be too large to use for cooking regular meals were unfounded. You can cook small amounts just as easily as you can big batches, and it's not like having a huge canner that you can't fit into the sink. I discovered that the glass lid from my commercial Calphalon stock pot fits it perfectly and, unlike my Calphalon cookware, the Fagor works excellently on my new Max Burton 6200 induction cooktop. (Anyone planning to do a lot of canning with this Fagor pressure canner, I strongly recommend you treat yourself to an induction cooktop. It will change your life.)
