Fissler Vitaquick 8.5-Quart Pressure Cooker vs Instant Pot DUO60 7-in-1 6 Quart

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).

the features that made me buy this were 1. the stainless steel insert (ALL my cookware is stainless steel, with the exception of one le creuset dutch oven and a couple of iron griddles), 2. the saute option, 3. the slow cook option, 4

Safe. The Fissler had a 2 step pressure release valve so it's easy to release from 15 to 7 lbs, and then 7 to 0. Very safe. The first thing I made was Americas Test Kitchen Homestyle Chicken Noodle soup

In case somebody might accidentally use it and not recognize it, but there's a lot of warning around here, because this is you know, can be very dange...

Too bad there are only two in the household because this thing is large enough to supply cooked meals for Coxey's Army.

I'm new to pressure cooking, and it makes me a little nervous! But I read a lot of good things about the instant pot so I decided to take the plunge and buy one. I originally bought the 6 qt size and it was too heavy for me to lift in and out of a cabinet frequently. It might have been ok if it was going to stay on a counter and always be out. This smaller size is easier to move around, and since I'm not feeding a family, it's fine for me

The Fissler is heavier, more sturdy, and shiny but I have to tell you my Fagor cooks the same and lasts as long. HOWEVER there is a big difference that made me buy my own Fissler. The difference is the base of the cooker. The Fissler 8L has a base that is larger than any other cooker

I looked it up and that code means the pot has a defect - a faulty pressure sensor. Now it's just a giant paperweight. I contacted IP but because my pot is 3 years old, the best I can get is a 20 percent discount (but not here on Amazon where I shop all the time). It's not worth it

If the vent should clog, a safety plug will pop out. The handle and the vent remove without tools for washing; be sure they are securely re-attached afterward. You can wash the metal pot in the dishwasher but it takes up so much space that I prefer to wash it by hand. You have to be sure the pressure valve is kept clean and clear of debris

I have used the saute button which works fairly well especially if wanting to lessen the amount of pots/pans to use. I will continue to try different IP recipes in the 6 qt as long as it continues to work..

The only sound is when the valve seals releasing some steam before it seals. The pressure gauge (high or low) is easy to see and read. The only issue has been determining cooking times for beans. The first time I cooked them longer than needed so they were softer than I prefer for soup

An so by now everbody no that I bee stalling for time. So my mama an my ant fiscally drag me by the hare, out to the kitchen, to kook them pig nuckles. An with them watchin ovur my shoulder, I put one of those babies in the pot an set it fur 23 minutes. Well that aktually wernt two bad
