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. I have two, a 10 qt & a 6qt and love them. When using it as a pressure cooker you can only use about 2/3 to 3/4 of the volume so you may need to get a larger one than you may have thought. 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.

Why would you not use aluminum? I used one yesterday (Presto) that was a hand me down over 50 years ago and it cooked fine. What am I missing?
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.
Induction cook tops will only work with FERROUS metals. Therefore aluminum or copper, for example, will not work with an induction device. Stainless steel clad copper is fine. I received an NuWave cook top as an
Xmas parcel. I was, at a minimum, sceptical. I am now a true fan of the device. Quick, clean and easy to use.
