It is by Fagor and if you order the duo, you get a 4-qt and a 8-qt with glass lid and steamer basket. It was the best cooker the the price. Cooks Illustrated recommends the Fagor. Been using mine for 3 months and I am very happy with it. <i>Indira replies: Thanks for the suggestion Cheryl. Sounds good to me and what a deal. I will add this product to my Amazon store.

But you must buy a pressure cooker if you are seriously interested in cooking with pulses. Its a good investment and cooking will be easy.
