The Right Material
- Stainless steel 18/10 (for body, handles, and lid) and stainless steel 18/0 (for induction-compatible bases)
- Aluminum (for the disc in the base)
- Nearly all Fissler pots are made in Germany
Soup pots made of stainless steel are hygienic, dimensionally stable, and resistant to heat, alkalis, acids, and corrosion. Stainless steel is also considered food-safe and easy to clean.
The Right Shape
To prevent soup from boiling over or splashing while cooking, soup pots should have tall sides. Depending on the diameter and height, the capacity of the pot varies, allowing for different portion sizes.
Some Fissler pots are especially tall. The volume depends on the diameter—larger diameters accommodate more soup.
Cool-Touch Handles
A full stainless steel soup pot can be relatively heavy. For safety and easy handling, soup pots should have sturdy handles that do not conduct heat too quickly.
Fissler soup pots feature Stay-Cool metal handles (Original-Profi Collection®) or stainless steel handles (Fissler Pure Collection):
- Stay-Cool metal handles retain a pleasantly low temperature (<122 °F) for an above-average time on standard household stovetops. They are solidly built and include a heat-insulating transition between body and handle plate.
- Stainless steel handles have poor heat conductivity, which benefits you while cooking. The more solid the design, the better the heat insulation at the handles.
Tightly Fitting Lid
A solid, tightly fitting lid enables energy-efficient cooking. Since condensation heat escapes only minimally with a snug-fitting lid, the boiling point is reached significantly faster. This not only saves time but also allows you to cook soups more efficiently.
Fissler soup pots come with either a metal lid (Original-Profi Collection®) or a tempered glass lid (Viseo®):
- Metal lids are made from durable 18/10 stainless steel. They are easy to clean and oven-safe up to 446 °F
- Tempered glass lids are impact-resistant and tolerate slow temperature changes up to 356 °F. The high-quality stainless steel rim with an integrated silicone gasket prevents water from entering and reduces stress on the glass during heating. The lid fits perfectly and enables comfortable visual cooking without losing aroma or energy.
Induction-Compatible Base
To ensure a soup pot can be used on an induction stove, it must have a base that is compatible with induction cooking.
The exclusive Fissler CookStar® base(Original-Profi Collection®) is suitable for all stovetops and specially optimized for induction. It is extra thick and solid, ensuring optimal heat absorption, distribution, and retention. The extended heat storage allows you to reduce energy input before cooking is finished—making soup pots with the CookStar® base especially energy-efficient. Another benefit is the integrated star-shaped expansion grooves in the base, which deliver exceptional stability. The pot remains flat on the cooktop even when heated, ensuring ingredients cook evenly.
The Superthermic® base (Fissler Pure Collection) is compatible with all stove types, including induction. It quickly and evenly absorbs and distributes heat across the entire bottom surface, ensuring excellent energy usage.
Measurement Scale and Pouring Rim
Fissler soup pots include practical features:
- The laser-etched measurement scale on the inside of the soup pot allows you to measure liquids without needing a separate measuring cup
- The extra-wide pouring rim (Original-Profi Collection®) or wide pouring rim (Fissler Pure Collection®) enables easy and precise pouring—without drips or spills
