Fissler Vitaquick 8.5-Quart Pressure Cooker

Unfortunately it’s behind a paywall so I can’t access/share it. But their top pick was Fissler vitaquick for its thick bottom, even heat distribution and lid design (among other features).

Following Cook's Illustrated ratings, I purchased the Fissler vitaquick 8.5 quart pressure cooker. The unit is beautiful to behold, if a pressure cooker can be said to be beautiful. My main peeve is that the instruction manual that came with my unit does not match the pressure cooker I bought. The i...

I've had many pressure cookers over the last fifty years and let me tell you that the Fissler one are the best. All stainless steel (no aluminium), works on every heating system, no teflon, easy to use and maintain, incredibly safe and very well made. They are simply fantastic.

I've had pressure cookers for over 40 years, clicking weight, Fissler Duo, and now this one, so, I've cooked a lot in them. With the weights, you just pop the weight off the hole with a pair of tongs for a quick release. Safe. The Fissler had a 2 step pressure release valve so it's easy to release f...

Just like several other reviewers, I bought this to replace an old-fashioned Presto "Jiggler" pressure cooker. Now, I love my old Presto. Because it's aluminum, it's fairly light (for a pressure cooker!). In spite of the Presto's great age (40 years!), new gaskets and over-pressure relief plugs are ...

A note on the eurovalve: My pot had a eurovalve with a black end (glass ball) which did not work properly. It made noise and it let more steam escape than it should. Some times it would not engage at all and as a result pressure would not build. I contacted Fissler and they sent me a new valve which...

INITIAL RATING: ONE STAR. I was very excited to start cooking with this since I'm a huge Cooks Illustrated fan and the idea of shortening cooking times for weekday meals really appealed to me. When I started cooking with the Fissler, I noticed that I couldn't turn down the heat without also losing p...

We've had this pressure cooker about 6 months. I use it fairly often. We had a classic T-fal pressure cooker for 20+ years that was a regular workhorse of our kitchen. When the handle broke so you could no longer lock the lid on, it was time to replace and as T-fal no longer made the same one/qualit...

Great design, great warranty, stellar reviews from Cook's Illustrated...what's not to like? And for the money, this should be a great pressure cooker. But it has a problem. There is a valve that should close when it comes up to pressure but it leaks. It bleeds off steam and to maintain the pressure ...

I have not had this pressure cooker but for a short while. I have not ever used a pressure cooker before. I read about pressure cooking on the AmericasTestKitchen site & watched their videos + TV show. I can write this; there seemed to be a number of complaints about the pressure valve not functioni...
