Pressure cooking gives you time, saves energy, and preserves the best of your ingredients. In pressure cooking, ingredients are cooked quickly and gently. Vitamins and flavour are largely preserved compared to conventional cooking.

Healthy, fast, safe and efficient - the Fissler pressure cooker has always been ahead of its time. And nowadays it is more en vogue than ever. Sustainably crafted in Germany in the highest quality, inspected by hand and with a critical German eye, our craftsmen make every Fissler Vita® pressure cooker an indispensable essential for the modern, healthy kitchen. Pressure cookers are ideal for:

• Healthier food
• Tender meat or poultry
• Stews/soups
• Vegetarian and vegan dishes

Save time

Cooking with a pressure cooker saves you time. The pressure created in the pot reduces cooking time by up to 70%.

• After the lid is securely engaged, which can be heard by a click on the handle, and the pressure builds up, the cooking time begins.
• Pressure is generated inside the pot, raising the boiling point of the liquids from 100°C to up to 115°C.

This increase in temperature ensures that the cooking time is more than halved compared to a conventional cooking pot.

Save energy

Shorter cooking times and lower energy consumption make the pressure cookers from Fissler sustainable companions in the kitchen.

• The shortened cooking time means less energy used.
• After heating up, the pressure cookers develop their full performance even at medium stove power. This means that energy consumption during cooking can be reduced by up to 50%.
• With the help of a steamer insert, several dishes can even be cooked at the same time.

The Vitavit® Premium also features the German-made CookStar® base. This has a high thermal conductivity and is particularly energy-efficient. It is suitable for all types of stoves and optimized for induction. The Vitaquick® pressure cooker is equipped with the Superthermic® base, which is also suitable for all types of stoves.

Healthy cooking

Vitamins, nutrients, and flavours are almost completely preserved during pressure cooking.

• Little liquid and high boiling temperatures ensure that the oxygen is almost completely displaced from the pressure cooker by the resulting water vapor during heating.
• When the valve closes and the cooking time begins, there is hardly any oxygen left inside the pot, which would decompose the vitamins and nutrients contained in the food.

Especially for sensitive vitamins, this fast method of preparation is gentler than cooking in a conventional pot. Valuable vitamin C, for example, is retained by up to 90% during pressure cooking.

Pressure cookers use steam to create pressure in an airtight pot. This allows higher temperatures for faster cooking of food.

The boiling temperature of the liquid is increased from 100°C to up to 115°C with the help of pressure. The lid with the safety system with patented technology and the Fissler sealing ring closes the pot securely and airtight.

During heating, water vapor is produced, which allows oxygen, which is harmful to vitamins, to escape from the pot.

How to use your pressure cooker:

1. Fill the pressure cooker with the minimum amount of liquid. How much liquid you need depends on the recipe. Use the level indicator in the pot to dose your liquids correctly. Adhere to the maximum filling level according to the instructions for use.
2. Close the lid. The pot is hermetically sealed when boiling.
3. Boiling water produces water vapor. Oxygen escapes.
4. Once the oxygen has escaped, the pressure build-up begins. The pressure in the pot results in higher temperatures.
5. The cooking display shows the pressure in the pressure cooker.
6. As soon as the first ring of the cooking indicator appears, the power of the stove can be reduced, and the cooking time begins.
7. Cook food at up to 115°C.
8. At the end of the cooking time, you can release the steam by using the cooking crown or handle. The steam escapes safely from the pressure cooker. Releasing steam function differs by series type, so make sure to check the product manual.

For us, "Made in Germany" means creating long-term value. Through a combination of leading technology, craftsmanship and high-quality materials, we produce the finest cookware.

In 1953, Fissler invented the first multi-stage safety cooking valve, made the pressure cooker safe and "tamed" it for home use. The three-stage safety system with patented technology ensures that the pot is safe to use. Today, thanks to Fissler, you can use pressure cookers easily, conveniently, and safely on the stove at home.

More safety on the stove with pressure stoves from Fissler

All Fissler pressure cookers have a safety system with patented technology and meet strict quality and safety guidelines. For example, they regulate themselves if the pressure inside should be too high. You cannot open the pressure cooker until there is no more pressure inside. In addition, the pressure cannot be built up until the pot is properly closed.

The cooking stages

The cooking stages allow foods of different heat sensitivity to be cooked optimally in the pressure cooker.

Depending on the model, several cooking levels are possible with the pressure cookers. These have an influence on the cooking time. Cooking time in the Vitavit® Premium (also for previous models) is as follows:

• Stage 3 (115°C, fast cooking time)
  • Equivalent to about ⅓ to ½ the cooking time with a conventional saucepan and is ideal for meat or stews.
• Stage 2 (112°C, medium cooking speed)
  • About 25% longer than level 3 and well suited for less delicate vegetables.
• Stage 1 (110°C, slow cooking speed)
  • About 50% longer than level 3 and well suited for delicate vegetables or fish.

The Vitaquick® is the alternative model to Vitavit® Premium and only has two cooking stages:

Stage 2 (115°C, fast cooking stage)
Equivalent to about ⅓ to ½ the cooking time with a conventional saucepan and is ideal for meat or stews.

Stage 1 (110°C, slow cooking stage)
About 50% longer than level 3 and well suited for delicate vegetables or fish

Different sizes for each application

Fissler pressure cookers come in different sizes. Depending on the dish and portion size, you will find the right model at Fissler:

• 2.5 litres: 1-3 people
• 3.5-4.5 litres: 3-4 people
• 6.0 litres: 4-6 people
• 8.0 litres: 6-8 people

To ensure that your pressure cooker lasts a long time, it is important to clean it properly. Since the pot body and lid (apart from the attachments) are dishwasher-safe, cleaning requires only a few simple steps.

You should proceed with the attachment parts of the cover as follows:

• Remove the sealing ring, cooking crown and lid handle and clean by hand with a damp cloth.
• To loosen the lid handle, turn the fastening screw on the inside counterclockwise. To loosen the cooking crown, turn the bell nut on the inside counterclockwise.
• After cleaning, firmly reattach all attachments to the pot. Make sure the cook valve gasket is seated in the notch provided and is tight against the cook crown. The sealing ring must also be reinserted in the notch provided in the rim of the lid.

Regular use of stainless steel care also helps to preserve the stainless steel surface.
