After using it for about 10 years, until it warped, and until I became worried about cooking in aluminum, I upgraded to a Kuhn Rikon Duromatic 7L cooker. The Duromatic has served us well for some 20 years, though I have always had issues with scorching at the edges, and it's a bit narrow for the amount of food that it can fit. I was given an Instant Pot for my birthday. After using the Kuhn Rikon, the Instant Pot was painfully slow to come up to pressure (30 minutes vs maybe 5 or 6 for the Kuhn Rikon), and scorched foods even more than the Kuhn Rikon. It also decided that food was being burnt and turned off, so I ended up "finishing" the food in the Kuhn Rikon. I don't understand all the fuss about Instant Pots, but on the bright side it means that there are a lot more pressure cooker recipes available (though I still rely on Lorna Sass for most methods). I returned the Instant Pot to the store, and renewed my interest in stovetop pressure cookers. After reading the reviews of the Fissler by America's Test Kitchen, I decided to give it a try. Why did I wait so long?! I did a pressure test first thing (about 2L of water brought to high pressure for 5 minutes), and it worked like a dream. Quite a bit of machine oil came off with that first trial, so I definitely recommend doing this as well as washing it before first use. It's much wider than the Kuhn Rikon (about 10 inches versus about 8), and so it's easier to saute before starting to pressure cook. The bottom is super-heavy and goes all the way to the edge. Sauteeing is dream, as the heat is constant - more like a nice dutch oven than a regular pan. It seemed to take slightly longer to reach high pressure than the Kunh Rikon (6 or 7 minutes for 2 cups of rice and 6 cups of liquid vs. maybe 5 for the Kuhn Rikon), which makes sense because it's a lot heavier. Once it reached pressure, I turned the heat very low, and the pressure remained high - much less fiddling with the heat on my gas stove to keep the pressure even than with the Kuhn Rikon. The first dish I made was a paella-flavored risotto - no scorching and it was completely perfect in exactly the time noted in Lorna Sass's recipes for risotto. My husband then made a Korean stew with tofu and beef short ribs - the meat was falling off the bone after 20 minutes at pressure and a natural release. Amazing! I like the pressure release button - no more having to waste water cooling the cooker for a quick release, and no more mess. The little "hat" that covers the well surrounding the pressure valve on the Kuhn Rikon fell off years ago, and so water collects in that well when cooling it with water, and then that water spills when taking the lid off. There is no well on the top of the Fissler, so this would not be an issue, though I don't know why one would use water when the button works so well. I wear steamproof oven mitts and put a dish towel over the pot to contain the steam when using the pressure-release button. The pressure indicator is easy to see. It's easy to clean, though it is really heavy so definitely use 2 hands to move it around. I expect that it will serve well for another 20 years. It appears that replacement parts are available, so I will replace the gasket and other rubber/plastic bits regularly. I waited too long to do this with the Kuhn Rikon, and when I finally did, it made a large difference in performance of the pot. The Fissler is a functional thing of beauty! I highly recommend this pressure cooker. Review: Some notes on size and models. (Love the cooker.) - I love mine. Extremely high quality. No problems with the valves, and it's just a great pot, even if it weren't a pressure cooker. High-quality stainless with a thick laminate bottom that distributes the heat really well. Braising is a breeze. Fissler makes two models (this one and the VitaVit) and four sizes. I have this VitaQuick, but in retrospect I should have gotten a VitaVit. The difference is the way you determine pressure. On this model, you turn on heat until a little button pops up. If it pops up a small amount, it's on "low" pressure and you turn down the temperature on the stove to keep it there (to almost nothing---it maintains pressure with a very low "simmer.") If the button pops up about 1/6" more, it's at high pressure. In practice, it's finicky, and difficult to get this right, but I pretty much always want it on high so I put up with it. The VitaVit, on the other hand, has a dial that you set the pressure with, and the pot just comes to that pressure. It's easier to deal with all around. Also, the VitaVit valve is easier to remove for cleaning. Regarding the sizes, most of the recipe books expect an 8L pot, and I cook a lot of stock, where an 8L pot is ideal. You may be able to make a smaller amount of stock in the 6q, but my guess is that you'll be cramming the chicken in there and putting too much liquid in the pot as well. The 6q is considerably smaller in diameter, but is the same height as the 8L. On the down side, the 8L is a monster and wrestling it around in the sink to clean it is annoying. I also have a 4L Vitavit, which is the perfect size for cooking a pound of beans or rice or a couple artichokes. I actually use that one more than this 8q model. To me, the 6qt is the odd duck. It's too small for stock (at least in the quantity I usually make) and too large for beans. It's the same diameter as the 4L, but is a couple inches taller. I don't have a clue what you'd do with the smallest 2L "pan" model. Seems pretty worthless. Regarding lids, It turns out that a couple lids I have for other pots fit these just fine. You can buy official Fissler lids, but they're pretty pricey. ## Features - Removable handle makes cleaning easy - Works on all stovetops: electric, gas, ceramic and induction - Functional: Stainless-steel pot has an internal scale for easy measurement of liquids - Locking Indicator: When the indicator turns green and you hear an audible click, the pressure cooker is securely closed and ready to cook - You'll receive a Stainless steel pressure cooker with lid, 6.4 quart, works on all types of stovetops ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B00873AO8A | | Best Sellers Rank | #965,581 in Kitchen & Dining ( See Top 100 in Kitchen & Dining ) #846 in Pressure Cookers | | Brand | Fissler | | Brand Name | Fissler | | Capacity | 6.4 Quarts | | Closure Type | Inner Lid, Outer Lid | | Color | Silver | | Control Method | Touch | | Controller Type | Hand Control | | Customer Reviews | 4.4 out of 5 stars 3,128 Reviews | | Finish Type | Stainless Steel | | Global Trade Identification Number | 04009209321349 | | Is the item dishwasher safe? | Yes | | Item Type Name | Pressure Coocker Stainless Steel Induction | | Item Weight | 4 Pounds | | Manufacturer | Fissler | | Material | Stainless steel | | Model Number | FISS-60030006079 | | Operation Mode | Automatic, Manual | | Part Number | FIS5851 | | Special Feature | Dishwasher Safe, Electric Stovetop Compatible , Gas Stovetop Compatible , Induction Compatible Base | | Special Features | Dishwasher Safe, Electric Stovetop Compatible, Gas Stovetop Compatible, Induction Compatible Base | | Unit Count | 1.0 Count | | Voltage | 110 Volts | | Wattage | 1000 watts | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Fissler - **Capacity:** 6.4 Quarts - **Material:** Stainless steel - **Color:** Silver - **Finish Type:** Stainless Steel - **Special Feature:** Dishwasher Safe, Electric Stovetop Compatible, Gas Stovetop Compatible, Induction Compatible Base - **Wattage:** 1000 watts - **Item Weight:** 4 Pounds - **Control Method:** Touch - **Operation Mode:** Automatic, Manual ## Images ![Fissler vitaquick / Pressure Cooker, (6.4 Quart), Stainless Steel, Cookware, Compatible with Induction, Gas, Electric Stovetops, Dishwasher Safe - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51MB8l4zSmL.jpg) ![Fissler vitaquick / Pressure Cooker, (6.4 Quart), Stainless Steel, Cookware, Compatible with Induction, Gas, Electric Stovetops, Dishwasher Safe - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61iafaf6p+L.jpg) ![Fissler vitaquick / Pressure Cooker, (6.4 Quart), Stainless Steel, Cookware, Compatible with Induction, Gas, Electric Stovetops, Dishwasher Safe - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61MRxWDenWL.jpg) ![Fissler vitaquick / Pressure Cooker, (6.4 Quart), Stainless Steel, Cookware, Compatible with Induction, Gas, Electric Stovetops, Dishwasher Safe - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71aLT7tmkZL.jpg) ![Fissler vitaquick / Pressure Cooker, (6.4 Quart), Stainless Steel, Cookware, Compatible with Induction, Gas, Electric Stovetops, Dishwasher Safe - Image 5](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71i-Bz7z3vL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Size** options. ## Questions & Answers **Q: Where is it manufactured?** A: Germany.

This pot is heavy but, 8.5 is the right size. You wont be sorry. **Q: I have a induction cook top. Pot has to be magnetic. Will this work?** A: Yes, this pressure cooker will work on any cooktop including induction. **Q: Does it come with the tripod and insets in the picture?** A: Yes, all items int he picture are included, and all are made of stainless steel. **Q: Any update on bad reviews (leaks, valve replacements, slow service) over past few months? Is there a recall? Bad batch?** A: March 2020, just bought this and it has the black valve. I didn't even attempt to use it, just went ahead and bought a new valve directly from their website ($11.99 + $6.80 shipping). ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Best of 4 pressure cookers that I've owned - better than Kuhn Rikon *by F***R on January 6, 2020* 30 years ago I was gifted a Hawkins aluminum wiggle-top 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 still easily available, and return the Presto to "like new" operation. The good thing about the jiggler pressure regulator (actually a small weight that sits loosely on the vent pipe) is that it's powered by gravity, a pretty reliable force! If the lid gasket is in good shape, and as long as the Presto steam vent is kept clean, it's 100% reliable. If it's clogged, the worst that can happen is that the over-pressure plug pops out. The primary advantage to the Fissler is that it's a much better pot! Its heavy bottom and multi-layer Stainless construction are better suited for browning meat and vegs. The stainless interior does not react to acidic foods and is much easier to keep clean. It will maintain either of two pressure levels for gentle or quick cooking. Pressure cooking is a great way to make beef or chicken stock quickly. Minus the pressure lid, it's a great for deep frying, making soup (with the stock you just made), or a big pot of chili. Not for use in the oven. You can see the Fissler pressure indicator across the room, while in a noisy kitchen with fans and appliances running, the Presto "jiggler" action may not be audible. And the Presto jiggler will still jiggle a little even if a worn gasket keeps it from getting completely to pressure. Not so with the Fissler; when one or two white lines show on the indicator (depending on the pressure you want), you're there. Adjust the burner to keep it in the desired zone. There's a double protection against over-pressure. If it goes over in normal use, it vents steam safely. 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. It's not as intuitively obvious as the Presto; keep the directions handy until you've washed it a few times. Steamer basket is beautifully made. I'm sure I'll use it some day! The silicone gaskets are heavy-duty and inspire confidence. They should outlast rubber gaskets by a significant margin. I would keep a spare on hand. Unlike rubber, silicone does not deteriorate on the shelf. Bottom line: a great cooker for long and hard use. If you need a pressure cooker (and not everyone does) this is the one to get. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.sn/products/2494533-fissler-vitaquick-pressure-cooker-6-4-quart-stainless-steel-cookware](https://www.desertcart.sn/products/2494533-fissler-vitaquick-pressure-cooker-6-4-quart-stainless-steel-cookware) --- *Product available on Desertcart Senegal* *Store origin: SN* *Last updated: 2026-08-21*
