Know before you buy
The High setting (15 psi) is designed for tougher cuts of meat, stews, and dried beans that require intense heat to break down. The Low setting (8 psi) is better suited for delicate ingredients like fish, fresh vegetables, and fruits, preventing them from overcooking or losing their texture.
Yes, the Zavor DUO is fully induction compatible. Its 7 mm thick base is designed to distribute heat evenly across induction, gas, electric, and ceramic cooktops.
The handle features a safety mechanism that prevents the lid from being opened while the unit is still pressurized. It will only unlock once the internal pressure has been safely released.
The 4.2-quart capacity is ideal for cooking meals for 2 to 3 people. If you frequently cook for larger groups or prefer to meal prep in bulk, you may want to consider a larger capacity model.
Yes, because pressure cooking uses a sealed environment and significantly shorter cooking times, it minimizes the exposure of food to heat and water. This process helps retain more vitamins and minerals compared to traditional boiling or steaming methods.
