While I'd love to have a nice shiny new stainless steel Fagor, at this
point in my life, I just couldn't justify the price. Also, I must take
exception to the one pressure statement. I have a Mirro pressure
canner and two Presto pressure cookers that have given yeoman service
for over 25 years. All three of these canner/cookers allow me to
can/cook at 5, 10 or 15 pounds pressure.
