The Fissler comparative studies

As one of the leading manufacturers of pressure cookers "Made in Germany," it goes without saying that we at Fissler are passionate about the science behind our products. Because we are convinced of the advantages of our Vitavit® Premium, we commissioned two independent studies to verify its superiority over conventional cooking methods.

This is how a pressure cooker works

A pressure cooker, also called a steam cooker, differs from a conventional pot in that it cooks under pressure. The secret lies in the lid.

Safe cooking with a pressure cooker

Modern Fissler pressure cookers feature various safety devices that function automatically. For example, pressure can only build up once the pot is properly closed – indicated by a visual and audible locking signal on the handle. This activates the safety systems, which, for example, automatically limit the pressure inside the pot or ensure that the pot can only be opened when there is no overpressure.

The following generally applies to safe use:

The pressure cooker only builds up pressure if it is properly sealed.
The pressure is automatically limited; overpressure is virtually impossible thanks to the multi-stage safety concept.
The pressure cooker can only be opened when it is completely depressurized.
The valves are designed to prevent the food from splashing out.
The safety-relevant elements function independently of each other and activate themselves automatically one after the other in an emergency.
