The Fissler Pressure Cooker is a well-built stovetop cooker for engaged cooks. Rated 4.5 out of 5 across 70 user ratings. The main drawback: no programs or timer. We scored it 4.5 out of 5.
You pay a premium for a pot with no buttons and no timer: the Vitaquick trades electric convenience for German 18/10 steel, two pressure settings and a base that works on any hob, induction included. If you're happy to stand at the stove and adjust the heat, it's built to outlast several electric cookers.
NoFussDeal rates the Fissler Pressure Cooker 4.5 out of 5. Last updated October 1, 2026.
The lid offers two pressure levels, one gentle enough for steaming vegetables and one for faster cooking of stews, beans and tougher cuts.
The pot is made in Germany from up to 90% recycled 18/10 stainless steel, with a Superthermic base that spreads heat evenly and works on gas, electric and induction.
An advanced safety system with a locking indicator and an audible click confirms the lid is sealed, and a simple depressurising function lets you release pressure before opening.
The set includes a glass lid, so the pot works as a regular saucepan, and the rivet-free interior, clear measurement markings and lid alignment guides make it easy to use and clean.

I’ve only had this pressure cooker a couple of weeks and only used it twice. It’s obviously well constructed as you would expect given it comes from Germany and the price point being kind of… Read it on AmazonKindle Customer · September 10, 2025 · Verified

Wash the pot and both lids before first use. Check that the rubber seal sits evenly in the pressure lid all the way around.
Use the open pot on the hob to brown meat or soften onions. The thick base handles this without scorching if you keep the heat moderate.
Add the liquid your recipe calls for and use the interior markings to keep the fill within the limits in Fissler's instructions, lower still for beans and grains that foam.
Line up the lid using the alignment marks and close it until you hear the click and see the locking indicator engage.
Select the gentle or the faster pressure setting, then heat on a high flame until the indicator shows the pot has reached pressure.
Once at pressure, reduce the heat to hold it steady and start timing. When the time is up, take the pot off the heat and let it depressurise naturally or use the depressurising function.
Yes: we score it 4.5 out of 5. The owners who've written about it are consistently pleased with the quality and how quickly it cooks.
Rated 4.5 out of 5 across 70 user ratings, with 82% giving it five stars and 5% one star.
No programs or timer, so you have to manage the burner and time each cook. Heavy to lift, particularly when full.
Take out and wash the rubber seal regularly, and let it dry before refitting. Rinse the valve area after cooking starchy or foamy food so nothing dries in it.
Because the hob supplies the heat, note the burner setting that holds pressure steadily without venting. After a few cooks you'll set it without thinking.

3 Things You Should Know About The Fissler Stainless Steel Vitaquick Pressure Cooker | Review
SmartBuy Reviews
The Vitaquick Premium is a pressure cooker built like good cookware: 18/10 steel made in Germany, a Superthermic base that works on any hob, two pressure settings and a glass lid that makes it useful every day, not just on stew nights. The owners who've written about it are consistently pleased with the quality and how quickly it cooks. What you give up is automation. You manage the heat and time the cook yourself, and the pot is heavy. Value is the mixed point; electric multicookers cost far less and do more on their own.
Buy the Vitaquick Premium if you want a stovetop pressure cooker that is also a first-rate saucepan and you're happy to watch the burner. Skip it if you want push-button convenience; an electric multicooker will suit you better for much less.
