The best for cooking for two

I've heard it said that if you only buy one pressure cooker you should get a 6 quart. Well, I have a 6 quart Fagor, which is great, but I must say that I am really happy with my 3.3 quart Magefesa Practika Plus Super Fast Pressure Cooker. I debated with myself which size to get, after equipping my boat with the 6 quart Fagor to handle cooking on a propane stove. But for just the two of us at home, I decided my everyday use would call for a smaller model. Afterall, I have a 5 quart Dutch Oven for braising for company.
And I am so pleased with the Magefesa. It cleans up easier than the Fagor, and comes up to pressure faster than my 6 quart model. It is perfect for our rice (and incredible stir-free risotta) - I dislike plastic microwave rice cookers and don't make rice enough to warrant an electric one. This Magefesa made lunchtime soup and stews from scratch a breeze. Its size is really the way to go for just two people. For comparison, it's the same shape as my All-Clad 4 Quart soup pot, not counting the handle. |
Good smaller pressure cooker

This is solidly made and attractive. The small size serves small families and singles well.
The manual is annoyingly vague and apparently self-contradictory about how to use the product. It seems to be a Spanish-to-English translation problem. No help from the website. You have to learn how to use it by trial and error. |
A disappointment ...

The Magefesa was highly recommended by a friend, who has owned one for over 20 years. Mine would not come up to pressure. As soon as it reached the boiling point, steam came out of the "safety" valve with so much force it threatened to put out my gas flame. I returned the unit for a replacement, and the second one did the same thing.
I contacted Magefesa customer support. They were very helpful, guiding me through disassembly and reassembly of all the possible problem points. Everything seemed fine to them, and the representative was at a loss to explain what was wrong. He said I appeared to be doing everything correctly. (It's so simple to use, it's hard to imagine what one could do wrong.) He said I could send it to him and he would try it himself, but that would have cost over $13 out of my pocket, so I have returned the unit for a refund.
I can only imagine that there was a bad production run on this model and that some defect is causing the problem. This is a reputable company with lots of good reviews, but I got two that didn't work, so I have decided to try a different brand. |
