This German-made stainless steel pressure cooker cuts energy use in half and cooking time up to 70%. It is easy to use, with standout features such as a bumpy cooking surface for better browning, a traffic light–style pressure indicator, and three settings (high pressure, low pressure, steam).

---DETAILS--- Fissler, established in 1845, is a trusted German company known around the world for high-quality cookware. Their Vitavit Premium Pressure Cooker, made from 18/10 stainless steel that’s suitable for all hobs including induction, compresses steam to cook food 70% faster than a standard pot — stews, potatoes, curries, pulses, and a myriad of other foods are ready in 1/3 of their standard cooking times. The base of the pot features a Novogrill® cooking surface for excellent browning. Pressure levels can be gauged with a large indicator that signals yellow (coming up to temperature), green (pressure cooking in progress), and red (heat must be turned down). It has a high and low pressure setting, as well as a non-pressure steam setting and steamer insert, expanding its usefulness. The handle twists off easily with the press of a button; when securely locked, an indicator shows green. When the lid is securely shut and pressure has built, that same button acts as a steam releaser for when you want to quick-release pressure. It is designed to vent steam away from you—one of its many safety features, which also include primary and secondary pressure relief valves and a safety gasket. The handles and pressurised components are easily removable, so you can clean each part thoroughly.

---BENEFITS--- 'Fissler pressure cookers are as simple and intuitive as electric versions. They are also 25% faster and brown ingredients more thoroughly, due to higher pressure and closer contact with the heat source. They are more durable, since replacing parts is easy, and cupboard-friendly, as the pot can be stacked with others. Best of all, they concentrates nutrients and flavour, resulting in more flavourful dishes.'
