In 1953, Fissler invented the multi-level safety valve, making pressure cookers safe for use in private households for the first time.
All Fissler pressure cookers are equipped with safety valves and must comply with strict safety standards.
Pressure inside the pot can only build once the lid is properly sealed.
Fissler pressure cookers self-regulate in case the internal pressure becomes too high.
The pressure cooker can only be opened once it is completely depressurized.
Thanks to these built-in safety features, using a Fissler pressure cooker is very safe.
How the Valve of Fissler Pressure Cookers Works
Fissler pressure cookers are equipped with various mechanisms that ensure automatic safety. This includes the valve unit. The valve indicates the internal pressure level of the cooker. It also lets you control the cooking level.
The Vitavit® Premium valve features a cooking indicator with a traffic light function. The indicator uses a traffic light system to display the cooking temperature and helps guide heat regulation.
When the yellow ring appears, the selected cooking level is nearly reached. Reduce the heat. When the green ring appears, cooking time begins. Adjust the heat to keep the indicator in the green zone. If the red ring appears, the pot is overheating. Reduce heat. The cooker will begin to release steam automatically to regulate temperature. The cooking crown with traffic light function, Euromatic valve, special sealing ring, and ergonomic Fissler safety handle with locking indicator ensure the cooker is sealed securely and airtight.
For valves to function reliably, worn valve seals must be replaced as needed.
