Missions

Use your pressure cooker as usual with the appropriate cooking settings, and place the insert with tripod in the pot if needed. The cooking settings depend on the method of preparation and the dishes. The Vitavit® Premium pressure cookers have 3 cooking settings.

Level 2 (113 °C, fast cooking setting)

• About 25% longer than Level 3 and well suited for less delicate vegetables.*

Level 1 (110 °C, gentle cooking setting)

• About 50% longer than Level 3 and well suited for delicate vegetables or fish.*

The pressure cookers in the Vitaquick® series have 2 cooking settings.

* Based on cooking tests in which cooking in a Fissler pressure cooker was compared with cooking in a conventional pot. The results vary depending on the food, quantity, type of stove, and preparation method.

Fill the pot with a minimum amount of water. The amount of liquid needed depends on the recipe.

1. Use the fill level indicator in the pot to measure your liquids correctly. Observe the maximum fill level stated in the instructions for use.
2. Place the chopped vegetables into the perforated insert.
3. Place the tripod in the Pressure Cooker and position the insert on top of it.
4. Set the cooking indicator to level 2 (Vitavit® Premium) or level 1 (Vitaquick® Premium) and heat the pot at maximum stove power.
5. Reduce the heat as soon as the yellow ring appears and let the contents cook in the pot. The cooking time varies depending on the quantity of ingredients. Cooking Time Finder
6. After the cooking time, release steam from the pot and remove the insert.

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 conveniently depressurized using the cooking indicator.

Broccoli from the Pressure Cooker with Insert

1. Fill the Vitavit® Premium Pressure Cooker with a minimum amount of water.
2. Place the broccoli into the perforated insert.
3. Place the tripod in the Pressure Cooker and position the insert on top of it.
4. Set the cooking indicator to "Steam Cooking" and heat the pot.
5. As no pressure builds up during steam cooking, the cooking indicator does not rise and the pot can be opened at any time without releasing steam first.
6. Tipp: After the cooking time has elapsed, use a fork to remove the hot insert from the Pressure Cooker.

1. Briefly sear the meat over high heat in the pressure cooker at the start so it stays nice and juicy.
2. Add a little broth or another liquid and, if needed, add herbs or spices.
3. Clean and cut the side dishes, such as vegetables, into even pieces. Place the side dishes in the steaming or cooking insert.
4. Place the matching trivet on the bottom of the pot above the meat and set the insert on top of it.
5. Now close the lid. Once the lid has safely locked into place, which you can hear with a click at the handle, bring the pressure cooker to a boil at full stove power. Pressure build-up now begins.
6. As soon as the first ring on the cooking valve is visible, the cooking time begins and the heat can be reduced.
7. When the cooking time is over, release the steam from the pressure cooker. Depending on the model, use the steam-release function on the cooking crown or on the handle. The pressure cooker can only be opened once it is completely depressurized.
8. First lift the insert out of the opened pressure cooker. Thanks to the handle, which is slightly curved inward in the middle, this works especially well with the help of a tablespoon.

1. Fill the pot with at least the minimum amount of water.
2. Place the fruit (or vegetables) in the perforated insert.
3. Place the trivet in the pressure cooker and set the insert on top.
4. Set the cooking dial to level 3 and heat the pot at maximum stove power.
5. Reduce the heat as soon as the yellow ring appears and let the pot cook. To the cooking time finder
6. After the cooking time, vent the pot via the steam-release function on the cooking dial or handle, remove the insert, and transfer the juice from the pot for further use.
7. Tip: The water in the pot mostly evaporates during cooking. If you want 100% juice, you can place a second, unperforated insert on a trivet in the pressure cooker to catch the juice. Then place the perforated insert with the food on top of the unperforated insert. You should also pay attention to the maximum fill level: for this method, where two inserts are stacked in the pot, a pressure cooker larger than 4.5L is required.

Fissler pressure cooker inserts are available in various sizes and designs:

• perforated, 26 cm
• perforated, 22 cm
• unperforated, 26 cm
• unperforated, 22 cm

Each insert is equipped with a tripod. This allows cooking in a pressure cooker on two "levels".
