Fagor Pressure Cookers - How Do They Compare Against Kuhn Rikon

For most of us cooking can be a tiresome and troublesome job. What if I say that cooking can also be fun? Yes it can. Provided you have the right cookware and utensils, you may start liking to cook. With an ensemble of quality and highly functional cookware and accessories, Fagor has come out to be a brand that earned respect from all of its clients and users. Fagor pressure cookers are used and appreciated the world over.

Quality, functionality, ease of use, safety standards and healthy cooking are the major characteristics of a Fagor stainless steel pressure cooker.

Today, you have a wide choice of stainless steel pressure cookers from top brands like Prestige, Presto, Aeternum, Kuhn Rikon, Lagostina etc. Quite surprisingly, I have noticed some people prefer Kuhn Rikon over a much more superior Fagor series. The Swiss made Kuhn Rikon is a good choice but Fagor cookers rank much higher when an overall comparison is made between the two.

Firstly, a Fagor pressure cooker looks much slimmer (and nicer too) and weighs much lighter than a comparable Kuhn Rikon pressure cooker. This matters a lot when it comes to using them.

Next to consider is the important factor of price. A Kuhn Rikon costs significantly higher than its Fagor counterpart. For the price of a Kuhn Rikon cooker you probably can buy a Fagor plus some other cookware. When it comes to replacement parts, you'll be shocked to see the price of Kuhn Rikon's parts. A simple gasket may cost you as high as $25 including shipping.

Fagor cookers, especially a Fagor Duo pressure cooker is more affordable and versatile than the similar Kuhn Rikon series. Experience shows that Fagor pressure cookers reduce cooking time by 70% while Kuhn Rikon does the same by 50%.

The safety features of Kuhn Rikon cookers have been found somewhat unsatisfactory by their users although the company claims a five safety back-ups. With all of them in place, how come there is this dripping condensation on the stove top? With a Fagor pressure cooker, you will never experience such occurrence.

I have to admit that Kuhn Rikon has more variety of models than the Fagor stainless steel pressure cookers. For average cooks, this may hardly matter.

Both companes cookers perform equally in healthy cooking by retaining nutrients and vitamins in the cooked food. You can also go for cooking without oil in both the models.

As for eco-friendliness, both the brands consume less energy due to high fuel efficiency and contain heat inside the cooker. Not much difference can be drawn in this area.

Drawing a bottom line, if I have to, my (and most of the users') recommendation is for Fagor pressure cookers. Their simpler yet more versatile options, faster cooking time, higher safety standards and above all very affordable price make a distinct difference from a comparable Kuhn Rikon.
