So Much For So Little!

Most slow cookers require you to use a separate pot to either brown or saute food before it goes into the slow cooker. Or you need to transfer food to another pot to get the consistency right. This is the first slow cooker that allows you to do all of that in one pot because it has a browning function. Add to that, it has pressure cooker, rice cooker and warm settings. All of which I have used and liked. The only drawback I have found for this multi-purpose cooker is that it has only a low setting for slow cooking. Most recipes give you the cooking times both high and low, so it has not been a problem. The clean up on this pot is terrific as the insert is non-stick and goes into the dishwasher. I give it a thumbs up!

Great Essential for whole food cooking!

I love the cooker! We eat many vegetarian meals and no longer wanted to use canned beans. Legumes take too long to cook on the stove, and I often forget and let them burn. We have limited storage space, so this cooker is the BEST. It is great that there is a brown setting to save time and pots for cleanup. I am a newbee to pressure cooking and found the included recipe book useless! Thankfully I found a chart in an old recipe book for legumes and timing and amount of water for each by pressure cooking. I am also diabetic and need recipes that include nutrition information. Please Fagor, you make a great product...but how about some basic instructions!

I am very pleased with the slow cooker and pressure cooker. So far I am not pleased with the rice coooker feature. I purchased this item thinking great I can make a meal in no time and keep it warm while I make rice. The rice comes out to sticky for my taste, nothing even remoted close to if you were cooking it on the stove top. I am still trying though. I recently purchased a different brand of rice to try. I think it is great for the slow/ pressure cooker but I was expecting more from the rice cooker.

Great Cooker

This product is fantastic. After getting and using this cooker, we gave our crock pot, pressure cooker and rice cooker to our daughter. Its simple to use and cookes perfectly. I would highly recommend this multi cooker to any one who wants to save space and makes great meals.

Luv It!!!

I sent this item to my kids and they just love it.....I would like to have one for myself so I can see what the fuss is about. :)

fantastic appliance

I have used this porduct as a slow cooker, rice cooker and pressure cooker. I think it does a fantastic job.

came with no manual?

The product looks all nice and shiny but the only instructions came as a stick on label, which I removed so as to not have it baked on and ruin the surface... not well thought out..

6 qt Multi-Cooker by Fagor

I have used it most of the couple weeks I've had it...Once it trained me, I LOVE IT. My daughter ran out to get one too.

electric cooker

The pressure cooker works great although I've found the cooking times are listed a bit shorter than they really are in the book. Some things not quite done in the time listed so do the longest time at the very least. It would be nice to have insert to cook a cake or whatever else this pot will cook. The none stick has worked like a charm. Hope it lasts for a long , long time. This is so much better than stove top pressure cooking! Wish I'd bought it a long time ago.

It's fast, quiet and easy to clean!!!!

My Mom has always use pressure cookers. I had a stove-top one for a while, but I just couldn't get over the fear of the possibility of it exploding. My boss got an electric one a couple of months ago (a different brand) and raves about it. Our life is so hectic these days that if there's a way I can make a meal faster, I'll listen to the review about it. I got this Fagor pressure cooker and LOVE IT!! The first thing I made was short ribs, Yummo and tender, even though I found out later, that the recipe we used, only said to cook them 25 - 30 minutes. Our bosses recipe said 1 hour. They were tender, but a little more time would make them fabulous! Friday night I made a sirloin roast, that was FROZEN SOLID!!! POOF!! Done in just over an hour, flipped the switch to "Brown", reduce the juices, added corn starch and "voila", gravy in about 5 minutes. It's a no-brainer, BUY THIS FABULOUS KITCHEN NECESSITY!!!!

More than I expected

I was looking for an electric pressure cooker, and didn't even notice about the rice cooker/slow cooker/ browning element. When it arrived, and I saw the other things this could do I couldn't wait to try it. It makes the most perfect rice in only 6 minutes!! Even though I'm from South Louisiana, which is rice country, I never could cook rice without a huge mess. I am excited to cook again!!

Multi-Cooker by Fagor

So far I enjoy the multi-cooker although I have only used the pressure cooker. The product performs as described and I don't expect that it will differ for a slow cooker or rice cooker. I am very pleased and I am sure I will get a lot of satisfaction when I use it.

It's the Best

This is one of the best purchases I have ever made. I have used this cooker almost daily since I received it a couple of weeks ago, and have been pleased with every setting. A whole roasted chicken was cooked to perfection in under 30 minutes including prep time--I was amazed. I highly recommend this to anyone looking for a slow cooker or pressure cooker.

Pressure Cooking

I really like this product so far. It sure beats my Mirror I have had for 40 years. Was time to upgrade. The first time I used it for rice I messed it up, but now know what I did wrong. The second time I cooked potatoes for potato salad. Was not sure how long to let it cook, but took a guestimate and was not far off. When I first took the lid off I thought the potatoes needed a few more minutes, but they still seemed to cook after removing the lid. I wish they would include more practical basic recipes. I think I am going to really like it. Just need a little time to experiment.

Life Just Got Easier

Been a cook, a good one if I say so myself, and have never had the pessure cooker experience. Sample beans freshly made for a pot luck, was told the flavor kept with the pressure cooking method. I'm stuck with an electric stove; didn't want a stove top model and this suits the purpose for everything....even my first tries at beans, rice mixtures, beef, it all comes out! Delicously! Next ry the slow cooker option....I'm a happy, happy camper and can now cram even more fun in my day and still have a great, nutrious meal. Thank you Fagor and to my fabulous friends who recommend products like this!

Slow cooker

It needs more temp control on slow cook. The slow cook is fixed, and it is too low.

Overall great

I've tried a 5lb roast (cut to fit) and red beans. I found both needed additional time than what was posted online as a guide, not much though. I think the biggest shortfall is the time it takes to actually start cooking, about 30 minutes. With that said, it still reduces cooking time. However, I really wanted to use this for rice. I haven't done that yet and the rice setting may heat faster. But if it doesn't, adding 30 minutes would take longer than cooking it in microwave. Hope that's not the case. Love the browning feature. If you need to add time and do quick release of steam, it heats up pretty quickly again. That's a plus.

Big, wonderful machine.

My friend raved about her electric multi-cooker, highly recommending me to get one. When I finally did, I found that this one was not the most popular seller, but was the highest rated. As I had seen it also recommended on a cooking show Fusion Cooking with Brad, I went with this brand. So far I am delighted. It is a wonder of versatility. I'm glad that I had a cupboard space big enough to store it, as it s a pretty big kitchen machine. I believe between its cooking of rice and pressure cooking of chicken breasts and roasts, and it's slow cooking, it will get plenty of use to justify its space in the cupboard.

This ain't your Mama's pressure cooker!

I travel all over the US with my husband's job and this one pan wonder is perfect! I can use it whether we're in a hotel without a kitchen, or a house with one! I love that I can either pressure cook a roast or slow cook a soup. I haven't tried the rice cooker yet so I cannot comment on that but if you're only going to buy one item, buy this one! You will not be disappointed!!

Well made and versatile

I was convinced or the value if this pressure cooker when I made really good chicken stock in about 45 minutes. I love to cook, but I also appreciate efficiency and easy cleanup. This machine is well made, the parts fit well and logically, and even the cookbook is well written and varied. I can see using this machine for many years.
