I would recommend the Fagor Duo. This is one of the highest rated PC from cooks illustrated. Make sure to get a stainless steel & would not recommend aluminum.

Also, these make a great conventional pot as well. I bought the glass lid made by Fagor to use this way. Amazon has it all.

Yes, why not aluminum? It is very heavy duty and something that lasts that many years with as much use as I give them is quality indeed.
