As a true multitalent, the pressure cooker offers many benefits. One very tangible one is that the vitamins and minerals in the ingredients are largely preserved. Scientists have discovered that when pressure steamed in a pressure cooker, vitamins are ideally conserved.

In addition, carrots, broccoli, and potatoes come out of the pot with virtually the same mineral content as when they were placed in it.

1 Healthy

In the tightly closed pressure cooker an overpressure is produced which reduces the cooking process to a minimum – with stewed dishes by up to 70%.

This saves you a great deal of time, especially with complex dishes.

2. Quick

A meal is only perfect when it tastes delicious. In a pressure cooker the tastiest meals can be conjured up in no time at all, and their flavor is particularly intensive because the aroma of the ingredients is almost fully retained.

THE PRESSURE COOKER

COMPARED TO THE CONVENTIONAL POT

Saving energy

Pressure cookers use energy significantly more

efficiently than conventional pots. In addition

to the overpressure during the cooking process,

the fully-encapsulated Fissler cookstar all-

stove base with the stability it offers and its

aluminum core ensure optimal heat absorption,

distribution, and storage. The shortened cooking

time enables the energy consumption to be

reduced by up to 50%!

Brief instructions

20 21

1st step Opening the pot: Press the control key on the lid handle in the direction of the arrow and turn the lid to the right until you reach the stop. You can now remove the lid.

Preparing the ingredients: Place the pressure cook-er on the stove and switch the burner on. Then add the ingredients to the pressure cooker in accordance with the recipe. If specified by the recipe, first lightly fry or roast individual components with a little butter, oil, or lard. When preparing meat, ensure you sear it at the beginning so that it becomes as brown as it is to look finally on the plate.

Liquid: Now pour the minimum amount of water, broth, or wine (200–300 ml are the basic minimum) into the pressure cooker. In the case of foods that froth or expand during cooking, such as rice or puls-es, only half fill the pressure cooker (1/2 marking). According to taste, you can also add herbs or spices.

PRESSURELESS STEAMING

22 23

2nd step Closing the pot: To make it extremely easy to close, the pot's lid incorporates a metal tab, which has a groove in the pot handle as its counterpart. This allows you to fit the lid on easily. The correct position of the lid is also marked by red dots on the tab and on the handle.

A "click" when closing and a color display on the handle (green) indicate whether the pressure cooker is firmly closed. Only then can pressure be built up.

Choosing the cooking setting: Now you can begin to cook your dish. Please refer to the Fissler cooking time guide or the recipe for pressure cookers for the cooking time. With your vitavit® pressure cooker you can choose between two cooking levels.

Cooking setting 1 (110 °C): This gentle setting is perfect if you wish to prepare delicate food such as fish or vegetables. Cooking setting 2 (116 °C): This speed setting is the right choice for everything which has a lengthy cooking time, such as meat dishes or stews.

Steaming function

The models vitavit® premium and vitavit® edition are equipped with a practical steamer inset and also have a pressureless steam cooking setting. This method is perfect for particularly gentle and aro-matic cooking of fish or vegetables.

Cooking process: The cooking display with traffic light function will navigate you reliably through the process.

1st ring ( yellow): The right temperature has almost been reached. You can now turn the heat down.

2nd ring ( green): The cooking temperature you have selected has been reached. The cooking time begins now. You should regulate the heat so that the cooking display always remains in the green area.

3rd ring ( red): The temperature is too high. In order to regulate it, your pressure cooker will automatically begin to release pressure. Simply turn down the heat further in order to stop the depressur-izing and return to the green area.

With the vitaquick® model, the setting for the cooking level must be controlled by regulating the energy supply.

The cooking display has two markings (white rings) which show you when you have reached the required cooking level.First ring: Cooking setting I (gentle setting)Second ring: Cooking setting II (speed setting)

Opening: Before opening the pressure cooker, shake it gently to release any steam bubbles that may have formed in the food and to prevent the euromatic (safety valve on the lid which prevents the lid from being opened while there is pressure in the cooker) from blocking.

4th step Ready: In no time at all you have conjured up a healthy, tasty dish to place on the table. Enjoy your meal!

With your pressure cooker you can cook healthy, de-licious food quickly every day. Discover new dishes in our recipe world and find out what the culinary variety tastes like.

www.fissler.de/schnellkochtopfen

3rd step Depressurizing: You can depressurize your Fissler pressure cooker in up to four different ways – depending on which model you own.

With all models you can either:• depressurize quickly using the control button on

the lid handle, • allow the pressure cooker to cool by using the re-

sidual energy in the dishes with a longer cooking time and removing the pot in good time from the stove,

• depressurize quickly under running water.

vitavit® premium and vitavit® edition also enable you to• depressurize more gently or somewhat more

quickly using the control valve.

Which method is the best depends on the content of your pressure cooker. In the case of foods which froth or expand easily (such as pulses or soups), you should release the pressure slowly, otherwise the food you have cooked could spill out. The pressure on unpeeled foods such as jacket potatoes should also be released slowly, otherwise the skin could burst.

5) The Fissler Cooking App offers an extensive library of recipes. To access it, press the Menu button at the top edge of the display and select the recipe gallery entry.

6) When you have completed all the preparatory steps for the recipe and have put the ingredients in the pressure cooker, close the pressure cooker in accordance with the instructions. Now place your vitacontrol® digital on the valve and follow the instructions on the screen.

7) Set your burner to maximum heat. During the heating-up phase the app will keep you informed, even when you are in the room next door. As soon as the right temperature has been reached, you will receive a message in the cookpit to reduce the energy supply. From now on the timer begins to count the cooking time, and you can sit back and relax.

8) At the end of the cooking time the cookpit tells you to depressurize your pressure cooker. After de-pressurizing, you can serve your tasty and healthy meal.

Reordering

You can obtain original spare parts at

www.fissler.de from our spare parts shop.

It was delicious!Always clean the pressure cooker after you have used it. The rubber gasket, control valve, and lid handle can be removed from the lid and cleaned by hand. The disassembled lid and the lower part are dishwasher-proof. Replace the parts which are subject to wear, such as the rubber gas-ket, at least every two years, and sooner if used more frequently.

If the euromatic is blocked, for safety reasons the pressure cooker may not be opened. Consequently please never leave anything in the pressure cooker.
