How does a Pressure Cooker suitable for induction work?

A Pressure Cooker, also called a steam pot, differs from a conventional Cooking Pot by cooking under pressure. All Vitaquick® Premium and Vitavit® Premium Pressure Cookers from Fissler are suitable for induction.

• A Pressure Cooker consists of a pot that is tightly sealed with the Lid. The Lid features a multi-level Fissler safety system with patented technology. Components of the safe Lid include the Fissler cooking crown with traffic-light function (on the Vitavit® Premium) for convenient pressure control, the Euromatic cooking valve, the special Rubber Gasket, and the ergonomic Fissler safety handle with locking indicator. They ensure that the pot is securely and airtight sealed. This allows pressure to build up safely inside the pot so food can be prepared faster, more energy-efficiently, and more gently.
• For a pot to be suitable for induction, the base must be magnetic. Only then can an electromagnetic field be created and converted into heat in the pot base. The energy-efficient Fissler CookStar® base is optimized for induction hobs. The Superthermic® base is suitable for induction hobs.
• A minimum amount of liquid is always used for pressure cooking.
• When heated, steam is produced, allowing oxygen that is harmful to vitamins to escape.
• Once the oxygen has escaped, the Euromatic cooking valve closes and pressure begins to build. The Cooking Indicator shows the pressure in the Pressure Cooker.
• As soon as the first ring of the Cooking Indicator appears, the power of the induction hob can be reduced. The cooking time begins.
• At the end of the cooking time, the Pressure Cooker can be depressurized easily and safely using the steam-release function on the handle. The Vitavit® Premium can also be depressurized conveniently via the cooking crown.

In 1953, Fissler invented a multi-level safety cooking valve, making the Pressure Cooker safe for private households for the first time. All Fissler Pressure Cookers feature safety valves and meet strict guidelines. Pressure can only build up inside the pot when the pot is properly closed. Fissler Pressure Cookers regulate themselves if the pressure inside becomes too high. The Pressure Cooker can only be opened once there is no pressure left inside.

Thanks to these safety features using a Pressure Cooker from Fissler is very safe.

Heating the water to up to 116 °C allows for shorter cooking times:

• The temperature for cooking level 1 is approximately 110 °C (gentle cooking level),
• The temperature at cooking level 2 is approximately 113°C (high-speed cooking level).
• and the temperature of cooking stage 3 is approximately 116 °C (express cooking stage).

The cooking levels allow foods of varying heat sensitivity to be cooked optimally in the induction-compatible pressure cooker.

The Vitavit® Premium also features a pressureless cooking setting for gentle steam cooking. On the Vitaquick®, one ring corresponds to the gentle cooking setting and two rings to the express cooking setting.

Which cooking level is suitable for which purpose?

The following generally applies:

• TheExpress cooking level (level 3)This corresponds to approximately ½ or 1/3 of the cooking time with a conventional cooking pot and is ideal for meat or stews.
• TheCooking time on level 2It lasts about 25% longer than level 3 and is well suited for less delicate vegetables.
• TheCooking time on level 1is about 50% longer than level 3 and is well suited for delicate vegetables or fish.

Since the quantity, shape and texture of the vegetables affect the cooking time, the cooking time information may vary.

Pot body and Lid of the induction-compatible Pressure Cookers are, with the exception of the attached parts, dishwasher-safe. For the attached parts of the Lid you should proceed as follows:

1. Remove the Rubber Gasket, cooking crown, and Lid handle.
2. Clean the parts by hand with a damp cloth.
3. To loosen the Lid handle, turn the fastening screw on the inside counterclockwise.
4. To loosen the cooking crown, turn the cap nut on the inside counterclockwise.
5. After Cleaning, firmly reattach all parts to the pot.
6. Make sure that the cooking valve seal sits in the designated notch and fits snugly against the cooking crown.
7. The Rubber Gasket must also be placed back into the designated notch in the rim of the Lid.
8. Important: Wear parts (e.g. the Rubber Gasket) must be replaced after 400 cooking cycles or 2 years.
