Re: “Induction Plus Pressure Cooker = Help Me With the Math”

I use many different pressure cookers and just finished writing my pressure cooking cookbook, due out later this year. The new cookers are safe.
I have been using Fagor cookers for more than 10 years and have never had a handle break. They are sometimes poorly packed and that can cause breakage.
I have used the PC with induction and it is very fast because the induction heats up much faster than any other method. I cannot, though, give a percentage number for how much less energy it uses.
For pressure cooking, though, you truly use 50 to 70% less energy. Lentils cook in 6 minutes at pressure instead of 45 minutes on the stove top. Even if it takes 9 minutes to get to pressure (and it could if you are making a lot of soup), you are still using 65% less energy.
I am into the ecological part of pressure cooking and its energy saving capabilities, as well as producing great tasting food.
Fear be gone with these new cookers.
