It’s freezing outside and rainy and cold and I’m in Dallas!  “Tis the season” no one has time for anything, but we all need nutritious meals to keep up our energy and avoid getting the flu. Just learning how to cook I took a poll around the office to see what we were all craving. Chicken Stew was high on the list and everyone agreed the Fagor Pressure Cooker was our must have this week. It can cut your cooking time up to 70% and you can do everything in one pot!!!

I have been afraid of Pressure Cookers since way back when I saw an I Love Lucy episode, but after watching this short video and reading an article from Cook’s Illustrated I’m going to pick one up today!
 
Our buyers recommend the Fagor 6-qt. Duo Pressure Cooker.  Look what Cook’s Illustrated wrote about it:
Our recommended model was the Fagor Duo, which had all of the qualities we were looking for–except for a clear indicator that high pressure has been reached. [This article is from a few years ago and Fagor has now put a button on the cooker that tells you when high pressure has been reached.]
However, this cooker’s quick-release valve is larger than the Magefesa’s, and the steam is more carefully directed away from the cook. We also liked the Fagor Duo’s wide base (wider than that of most other pots), which allows for easier browning and sautéing.
Pressure Cookers: While none of the models we tested met all of our specifications, we felt we could recommend the Fagor Duo without reservations.

Don’t forget to check out our blog tomorrow for the “Meal of the week.” What do you think about Chicken Stew, Dinner Rolls and Cheesecake for dessert?
