The\u00a0Fagor LUX LCD pressure cooker\u00a0<\/strong>is a new electric pressure cooker \/ multicooker manufactured by the Fagor Corporation. Here is my review of this alternative to the Instant Pot.<\/em><\/p>\n Now that fall is right around the corner, it’s time to think of warm, comforting soups and hearty pressure cooked meals. Over the next couple of months, I’ll be reviewing several pressure cooker. Today I’m sharing my Fagor LUX LCD Pressure Cooker Review.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Fagor recently released a new electric pressure cooker \/ multicooker with lots of new features and a fancy LCD screen.\u00a0The Fagor LUX LCD comes in three sizes.<\/strong> A\u00a06 quart that cooks at 1000 Watts; an 8 quart that cooks at 1300 Watts; and a smaller 4 quart that uses 800 Watts.<\/span> <\/p>\n Details on how you can win a Fagor LUX LCD 6 Quart Multicooker<\/a> are at the bottom of this post.<\/em><\/p>\n The most significant change on the new LUX is the digital LCD screen. The LCD screen gives you more information about what’s going on inside the pot, and it has more cooking functions.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n The 10 cooking functions on the Fagor Lux LCD Pressure Cooker are:<\/strong><\/p>\n In addition to the main cooking function most function also have sub menus.<\/p>\n For example the\u00a0Grains function has pre-set cook times for White Rice, Brown Rice, Risotto, Barley and Quinoa. Each of which you can adjust. There are also custom setting that allows you to program and store your own cooking time.<\/p>\n The LCS screen is\u00a0blue<\/span>\u00a0while the cooking program is being selected and it turns\u00a0green<\/span>\u00a0once the cooking process has begun.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n There are more than 33 Programs\u00a0including Meat, Poultry, Vegetable, Beans, Soup, Risotto, Omelette and my favorite Cheesecake! Most of them found in sub menus.<\/p>\n One of the\u00a0functions that intrigued me is the Simmer Function<\/strong> that you have to use with the lid on. Use it for soups and stocks that you want to stay just below the boiling point. The stock preset time is 45 minutes and the soup preset time is 55 minutes. So this would be a good option for making bone broth that is so popular.<\/p>\n The icons on the LCD screen\u00a0<\/span>are:<\/p>\n <\/p>\n The LUX LCD comes with a stainless steel removable cooking pot<\/strong> instead of the non-stick finishes on the other LUX models.The stainless steel pot on this new LUX LCD is a beauty! I may have said ohhhhh when I pulled it out of the box.\u00a0I prefer a stainless steel pot because I can scrub it clean, and I don’t have to worry about scratching when I’m stirring or using an immersion blender in the pot.<\/p>\n It comes with a V shaped trivet as well. (See photo above.)<\/p>\n <\/p>\n A steamer basket is a must have accessory for the pressure cooker and Fagor has included one with the new LUX LCD. The steamer basket works well with the trivet, but the trivet isn’t as useful as the round trivets included with other pressure cookers, that I use for stacked cooking, like my pressure cooker creme brulee<\/a>.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\nFagor LUX LCD Pressure Cooker – What’s New<\/h2>\n
