1. How pressure cooking works
The basic principle of pressure cooking hasn’t changed since the first pressure cooker was invented. Foods are
cooked in a tightly closed vessel under pressure, at temperatures of over 100°C, since the high pressure that deve-
lops inside the pot raises the boiling point of water.This shortens their cooking times substantially. Cooking with a
pressure cooker saves a great deal of (cooking) time – about 70 percent on average.

The exclusion of harmful atmospheric oxygen and the shorter cooking times also make it possible to cook the
foods very gently.Vitamins, minerals and aroma are preserved to a far greater extent than with conventional cooking
methods.And you can taste this, too, for the foods’ own flavor is surprisingly intense.

Filling capacity
See Fig. L
Please note the following information on filling amounts.A scale found on the inside of the pot will make it easier to
measure these amounts.
„min“
Depending on the diameter of the pressure cooker, at least 200-300 ml of liquid is necessary to produce steam,
regardlessofwhetheryouareusinganinsetornot.Neverusethepressurecookerwithouthavingthisminimum
amount of liquid (see „min“ marking).
Ø 18 cm: 200 ml
Ø 22 cm: 250 ml
Ø 26 cm: 300 ml
„max“
The pressure cooker may only be filled up to ⅔full to function safely (see „max“ marking).
„½“
For foods that foam or expand during cooking, such as rice, legumes, broths, or dried vegetables, the pressure cooker
may only be filled half full (see „½“ marking).
Important:
Never cook without sufficient liquid, and make sure that the liquid in the pressure cooker never steams away
completely. Otherwise, the food may burn and the cooker, handles and burner can be damaged (see safety inst-
ructions).
Suitable stoves
The fully encapsulated CookStar all-stove base ensures optimal heat absorption, distribution and storage and can be
used on all kinds of stoves, including induction.The integrated expansion joints, seen as a star on the bottom of the
cooker, ensure that the base will be absolutely stable.The proper contact between the base and the burner is thus
ensured – for the best of cooking results.

The indicated settings should serve as guidelines. For induction cooking, depending on the power, lower settings may
be used. Please also refer to the information given in the instructions for your stove.
Whether empty or containing fat, an open pressure cooker may never be heated at the highest energy level for
more than 2 minutes. If overheated, the base can turn golden.This discoloration does not affect how well the cooker
functions, however.
Solid/glass ceramic (radiation/halogen): The diameter of the burner should be the same as or smaller than the
diameter of the pot base.
Gas stove: Place the cooker in the center, and make sure that the flames do not extend up the sides of the cooker.
Induction: Always place the cooker in the center of the cooking zone.The base of the pot should be the same size
asorlargerthanthecookingzone.Otherwise,itispossiblethatthecookingzonewillnotbetriggeredbythepot

provided by the stove manufacturer.A humming sound may come from your cooker while it is in use.This sound has
technical reasons and does not indicate that there is a defect in your stove or cookware.
Tips for saving energy
- When cooking at the gentle or speed setting, regulate the energy source so that the traffic light indicator does not
enter the red area and the valve does not begin to release steam.
- When cooking at the pressureless steaming setting, regulate the energy source so that only a slight plume of steam
is released from the lid handle or control valve.
- Useaburnerthatistherightsize.(Seenotesabove)
- Choose cookware that is the right size for the amount of food you are preparing.
- Take advantage of the heat stored in the base.Turn off the heat source even before the end of the cooking period,
so that you can use the cooling off period.
6. Cooking with the vitavit®
Numerouscookingmethodsarepossibleinyourpressurecooker:stewingorbraising,steamingwiththeinset,
sautéing and deep-frying (without the lid), as well as thawing, preserving, and extracting juice.You will find more
information on ways to use your pressure cooker, as well as on how to use the insets, in Chapter 8.
Preparing
Place the ingredients called for in your recipe in the pressure cooker. Make sure you observe the specified filling
capacities. (See Chapter 5)
Then place the lid on the cooker and close it. If the locking indicator (Fig. A-3) in the lid handle is green, the cooker is
ready to start cooking. (See Chapter 4)
100742Fissler 02_GAL_Vitavit_edition_GB.indd 35 19.07.2010 9:35:55 Uhr

Cooking with the vitavit®
Selecting the cooking setting
See Fig. M
Select the desired cooking setting on the control valve (Fig.A-5).The table of cooking times (Chapter 9) will give you
suggestions for this.
Setting 1, approx. 110°C (Gentle Setting)
(45 kPa operating pressure)
for delicate foods, such as fish or vegetables
Setting 2, approx. 116°C (Speed Setting)
(75 kPa operating pressure)
for all other foods, such as meats or stews
Steaming without pressure
In addition to the gentle and speed settings, you can also select a setting for steaming without pressure or for con-
ventional cooking. Since this setting operates without pressure, the additional instructions in Chapter 6 and 7 do not
apply here.You will find additional information on the pressureless steaming setting in Chapter 8.
Building pressure and expelling air
Set your heat source to high to heat up the pressure cooker. Steam will escape from under the lid handle (Fig.A-1),
along with the atmospheric oxygen that can destroy vitamins.This process can take a few minutes.As soon as the
Euromaticclosesandnomoresteamisexpelled,pressurewillbegintobuildup.Thetrafclightindicator(Fig.A-6)

colors. Much like a traffic light, these colors tell you the temperature in the cooker and help you to regulate the
energy source.
When using the vitacontrol electronic cooking assistant, this information is also communicated via visual and
audible signals (see the separate Instructions for Use enclosed).
Yellow ring:
“The selected cooking setting will soon be reached.You can turn down the heat.”
Depending on the kind of stove and what you are cooking, you may need to reduce the energy sooner or later. For
solid burners or glass ceramic cooking surfaces at the beginning of the yellow ring, for induction or gas toward the
end of the yellow ring.
Green ring:
“The selected cooking setting has been reached.The actual cooking time begins now.”
Adjust the energy source so that the traffic light indicator remains in the green area during the entire cooking period.

cooker will lose liquid due to the release of steam.
Important:
Make sure that the liquid in the pressure cooker never completely vaporizes. (See information in Chapter 5.)
Cooking times
The actual cooking time begins once the selected cooking setting (green ring) has been reached.You will find the
cooking times for various foods in Chapter 9.
Basic rules:
1. The cooking time at Setting 2 is about ½ to ⅓of the normal cooking time.
2. The cooking time at Setting 1 is about 50% longer than at Setting 2.
3. Cooking times for the same food can vary, since the amount, size and consistency of the foods influence the
cooking time.
For example, boiled potatoes:
Conventional cooking time Cooking time at Setting 2 Cooking time at Setting 1
About 30 min. About 12 min. About 18 min
At the end of the cooking time, remove the pressure cooker from the heat source and depressurize it. (See
information in the following chapter.) Only then can you open it.
7. Depressurizing the vitavit®
Important:
Never try to force the pressure cooker open.The cooker can only be opened when the traffic light indicator
has fallen into its socket completely and no more steam escapes when the release button is activated. Once the
cooker has been depressurized, the release button can be easily pressed in order to open the cooker.Always
gently shake the cooker before you open it, to release steam pockets that may have formed in the food. If you do
not do this, you may be scalded by spattering food and steam.
When using the vitacontrol electronic cooking assistant, remove it before depressurizing the pressure cooker
and protect it from moisture.
There are 4 ways to depressurize your vitavit®.
The way you depressurize depends on the food you are cooking. For foods that tend to foam or rise, such as legu-
mes, soups or stews, or for foods with a delicate peel, such as jacket potatoes, do not select a method that reduces
the pressure quickly, as this could cause the food to be ejected or the peel to burst.
100742Fissler 02_GAL_Vitavit_edition_GB.indd 37 19.07.2010 9:35:57 Uhr

Method 1
“Quick depressurizing with the release button”
SeeFig.O
Press the release button (Fig.A-2) gently in the direction shown by the arrow, and steam will escape from under the
lid handle (Fig. A-4). Hold the button in until the traffic light indicator has fallen back into its socket completely and
nomoresteamisescaping.Thenreleasethebutton,shakethecookergently,andpressthereleasebuttonagain.Re-
peatthisuntilnomoresteamescapes.Oncethecookerisdepressurized,theEuromaticwillsink.Thereleasebutton
can now be pressed in completely to open the cooker.
Note:
As long as there is any pressure in the cooker, the release button cannot be pressed completely.This is normal, and it
ensures that the cooker cannot be accidentally opened while under pressure. Do not try to force the release button!
Method 2
“Depressurizing setting on the control valve”
See Fig. P
If you turn the control valve little by little toward the depressurizing setting, steam will be released under the control
valve (Fig.A-7).You can decide whether the steam should be released gently or more quickly.The larger the steps
you activate in the control valve, the greater the amount of steam released. Finally, set the control valve at the
depressurizing setting, and wait until no more steam is released. Shake the cooker gently and repeat this step until no
moresteamescapes.Oncethecookerisfullydepressurized,theEuromaticwillsink.Thereleasebuttoncannowbe

Note:
NeverturnthecontrolvalvedirectlyfromSetting1or2tothedepressurizingsetting,asthesteamreleasewould
be extremely strong and food could be ejected as well.Always turn the control valve little by little until it reaches the
depressurizing setting.
Method 3
“Let it cool off”
If you would like to take advantage of the residual energy in the cooker, use this method. Shortly before the end of
the cooking time, take the cooker off the stove and just let it gradually cool down until the traffic light indicator has
sunk completely.
Then press the release button gently in order to release any residual pressure.When no more steam escapes, let
goofthebutton,shakethecookergently,andthenpressthereleasebuttonagain.Repeatthisstepuntilnomore
steamescapes.Whenthecookerisfullydepressurized,theEuromaticwillsinkagain.Thenthereleasebuttoncanbe
pressed in fully to open the cooker.
This method is especially good for foods with longer cooking times.

See Fig. Q
If the escaping steam bothers you, cool off the cooker under running water. Just place the cooker in the sink and let
cold water run over the side of the lid (not over the lid handle or control valve) until the traffic light indicator has
sunk completely.
Then press the release button gently to release any residual pressure.When no more steam escapes, let go of

Steaming
This means cooking foods in steam at temperatures of around 100°C. Hot steam surrounds the food and condenses
on its surface.The food does not lie in the water while it is being cooked.This is why you need to use the perforated
inset for steaming. Depending on the model, the inset may be included or else sold separately.

(though they tend to be a little longer).
The steaming setting can also be used without the inset for conventional cooking without pressure.
Note:
When cooking with the steaming setting, you can open the cooker at any time to stir or season the food. If the ener-
gy source is too high, the cooker may become locked for reasons of safety and the release button cannot be pressed
in to open the cooker. If this should happen, remove the cooker from the stove,, wait just a moment, and you will be
able to open the cooker again.

des by using the tripod. Close the cooker, build pressure, and cook at Setting 2 for an additional 8 minutes.
9. Cooking times
The cooking times shown here should serve as guidelines and are calculated on the basis of approximately 2-3
portions.
Basic rules:
- The cooking time at Setting 2 is about ½ to ⅓of the normal cooking time.
- The cooking time at Setting 1 is about 50% longer than at Setting 2.
- Cooking times for the same food can vary, depending on the amount, shape, size and consistency.
- The smaller the pieces of food, the shorter the cooking time will be.
- The greater the total amount of food, the longer the cooking time
Example:
Jacket potatoes (whole), approx. 12 minutes; boiled potatoes (cut in half or quarters), about 8 minutes
