  If your Fagor Electric Pressure Cooker won't open after cooking, it could be due to: 1. Remaining pressure: Use the automatic or cold water release method to release any remaining pressure until the pressure indicator drops. Then, try opening it again. 2. Pressure lock position: Ensure the pressure lock is moved to the open position towards the end of the handle. Then, try opening it again.

Why is steam escaping around the edge of my Fagor DUO lid?
- B
  Brett JacksonAug 16, 2025
  Steam might escape around the edge of the lid of your Fagor Electric Pressure Cooker because: * The pressure cooker is too full. Never fill it more than halfway, or 2/3 full when cooking liquids or foods that froth and expand. * The pressure cooker wasn't closed properly. Ensure you follow the instructions to create a tight seal. * The silicone gasket isn't in place, or it's dirty or worn. Ensure the gasket is clean and positioned correctly. Replace it at least once a year if you use the cooker frequently.

Why won't my Fagor Electric Pressure Cooker build up pressure?
- I
  ibrennanAug 19, 2025
  Your Fagor Electric Pressure Cooker might not be building pressure due to several reasons: 1. Not enough liquid: Always use at least ½ cup of liquid, but never fill the cooker more than half full with liquids. 2. Improper closure: Ensure the pressure cooker is properly closed to create a tight seal. 3. Dirty or obstructed valve: Clean the valve periodically, especially after cooking foods like dried beans. 4. Silicone gasket issues: Ensure the gasket is clean, well-positioned, and not worn. Replace it at least once a year with frequent use. 5. Incorrect valve position: Make sure the operating valve is set to pressure setting 1 or 2, not the steam release position.

  If water is leaking from the lower handle of your Fagor Electric Pressure Cooker while it's building pressure: * Ensure the lower handle is tightly screwed to the pot before each use or after all pressure has been released. Tighten the screws with a screwdriver if needed. * Wash and dry the gasket after every use, and oil it regularly.

Why is my food under-cooked in Fagor DUO?
- J
  jesse18Aug 27, 2025
  If your food is under-cooked when using the Fagor Electric Pressure Cooker, it might be because: 1. The cooking time was too short. Extend the cooking time by approximately 1 to 2 minutes under pressure, or simmer without the lid until the desired texture is achieved. 2. The automatic or cold water release method was inadequately used. Use the natural release method to allow the food to benefit from additional cooking time as the pressure drops.

What to do if there is no steam released by the operating valve in Fagor DUO Electric Pressure Cooker?
- B
  Bailey MitchellSep 8, 2025
  If the visual pressure indicator has popped up, but there is no steam released by the operating valve of your Fagor Electric Pressure Cooker: 1. Ensure there is enough liquid in the cooker. Always have at least half a cup of liquid, or 2 cups if cooking for over 10 minutes. 2. Check if the valve is dirty or obstructed. Clean the valve periodically. 3. Ensure the burner heat is high enough. Turn the heat to medium-high until a gentle, steady stream of steam is released from the operating valve.
