1 PRESSURE COOKING EXPLAINED SIMPLY ALL YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT THE FISSLER PRESSURE COOKERS + VITACONTROL DIGITAL

2 Did you know that you can use a pressure cooker to roast or stew meat, steam vegetables, prepare soups and stews, boil rice and potatoes, steam fish, and prepare baby food? BUT YOU CAN ALSO USE THE PRESSURE COOKER FOR DEFROSTING, REDUCING, AND EXTRACTING JUICES. Really good meals To create a really good meal you do not need to spend hours at the oven. With the Fissler pressure cookers, a little know-how which we will provide you with on the next few pages, and the right recipe ( or the vitacontrol digital cooking assistant and the integrated recipe gallery in the Fissler Cooking App) you can also conjure up delicious meals with a minimum of effort. And they are healthy, too! The 3-in-1 benefit HEALTHY because vitamins and nutrients are almost completely retained. QUICK because many people have only a little timefor cooking. DELICIOUS because the aroma is ideally retained. PRESSURE COOKING - 3 IN 1 2 3

3 1 Healthy As a true multitalent, the pressure cooker offers many benefits. One very tangible one is that the vitamins and minerals in the ingredients are largely preserved. Scientists have discovered that when pressure steamed in a pressure cooker, vitamins are ideally conserved. In addition, carrots, broccoli, and potatoes come out of the pot with virtually the same mineral content as when they were placed in it. 2. Quick In the tightly closed pressure cooker an overpressure is produced which reduces the cooking process to a minimum with stewed dishes by up to 70%. This saves you a great deal of time, especially with complex dishes. THE PRESSURE COOKER COMPARED TO THE CONVENTIONAL POT 3. Delicious % A meal is only perfect when it tastes delicious. In a pressure cooker the tastiest meals can be conjured up in no time at all, and their flavor is particularly intensive because the aroma of the ingredients is almost fully retained.

11 1st step Opening the pot: Press the control key on the lid handle in the direction of the arrow and turn the lid to the right until you reach the stop. You can now remove the lid. Preparing the ingredients: Place the pressure cooker on the stove and switch the burner on. Then add the ingredients to the pressure cooker in accordance with the recipe. If specified by the recipe, first lightly fry or roast individual components with a little butter, oil, or lard. When preparing meat, ensure you sear it at the beginning so that it becomes as brown as it is to look finally on the plate.

12 2nd step Closing the pot: To make it extremely easy to close, the pot's lid incorporates a metal tab, which has a groove in the pot handle as its counterpart. This allows you to fit the lid on easily. The correct position of the lid is also marked by red dots on the tab and on the handle. A "click" when closing and a color display on the handle (green) indicate whether the pressure cooker is firmly closed. Only then can pressure be built up. Choosing the cooking setting: Now you can begin to cook your dish. Please refer to the Fissler cooking time guide or the recipe for pressure cookers for the cooking time. With your vitavit pressure cooker you can choose between two cooking levels. Cooking setting 1 (110 C): This gentle setting is perfect if you wish to prepare delicate food such as fish or vegetables. Cooking setting 2 (116 C): This speed setting is the right choice for everything which has a lengthy cooking time, such as meat dishes or stews. PRESSURELESS STEAMING Steaming function The models vitavit premium and vitavit edition are equipped with a practical steamer inset and also have a pressureless steam cooking setting. This method is perfect for particularly gentle and aromatic cooking of fish or vegetables.

13 Cooking process: The cooking display with traffic light function will navigate you reliably through the process. 1 st ring ( yellow): The right temperature has almost been reached. You can now turn the heat down. 2 nd ring ( green): The cooking temperature you have selected has been reached. The cooking time begins now. You should regulate the heat so that the cooking display always remains in the green area. 3 rd ring ( red): The temperature is too high. In order to regulate it, your pressure cooker will automatically begin to release pressure. Simply turn down the heat further in order to stop the depressurizing and return to the green area. With the vitaquick model, the setting for the cooking level must be controlled by regulating the energy supply. The cooking display has two markings (white rings) which show you when you have reached the required cooking level. First ring: Cooking setting I (gentle setting) Second ring: Cooking setting II (speed setting) 24 vitavit vitaquick 25

14 3rd step Depressurizing: You can depressurize your Fissler pressure cooker in up to four different ways depending on which model you own. With all models you can either: depressurize quickly using the control button on the lid handle, allow the pressure cooker to cool by using the residual energy in the dishes with a longer cooking time and removing the pot in good time from the stove, depressurize quickly under running water. vitavit premium and vitavit edition also enable you to depressurize more gently or somewhat more quickly using the control valve. Which method is the best depends on the content of your pressure cooker. In the case of foods which froth or expand easily (such as pulses or soups), you should release the pressure slowly, otherwise the food you have cooked could spill out. The pressure on unpeeled foods such as jacket potatoes should also be released slowly, otherwise the skin could burst. Opening: Before opening the pressure cooker, shake it gently to release any steam bubbles that may have formed in the food and to prevent the euromatic (safety valve on the lid which prevents the lid from being opened while there is pressure in the cooker) from blocking. 4th step Ready: In no time at all you have conjured up a healthy, tasty dish to place on the table. Enjoy your meal! With your pressure cooker you can cook healthy, delicious food quickly every day.

15 Cooking with the vitacontrol digital and the Fissler Cooking App explained step-by-step. 1) Let's get started. It's as easy as pie to start the cooking assistant for the first time: First download the free Fissler Cooking App from the App Store or Google play. 2) Then insert the battery supplied in the vitacontrol digital and switch the device on. Important: Ensure that your tablet's or smartphone's Bluetooth interface is enabled. 3) Now start the app, and it will take you to your cookpit. Touch the signal strength display on the bottom edge of the display to get to the device list. Your vitacontrol digital is displayed here. Simply touch "Connect" and the pressure cooker will already be connected. 4) Then select your stove type. As a result of this setting, the time at which the signal to regulate the temperature is issued is ideally adjusted to suit your stove

16 5 min COOKING TIME 5) The Fissler Cooking App offers an extensive library of recipes. To access it, press the Menu button at the top edge of the display and select the recipe gallery entry. 5-MINUTE RISOTTO 6) When you have completed all the preparatory steps for the recipe and have put the ingredients in the pressure cooker, close the pressure cooker in accordance with the instructions. Now place your vitacontrol digital on the valve and follow the instructions on the screen. 7) Set your burner to maximum heat. During the heating-up phase the app will keep you informed, even when you are in the room next door. As soon as the right temperature has been reached, you will receive a message in the cookpit to reduce the energy supply. From now on the timer begins to count the cooking time, and you can sit back and relax. 8) At the end of the cooking time the cookpit tells you to depressurize your pressure cooker. After depressurizing, you can serve your tasty and healthy meal

17 It was delicious! Always clean the pressure cooker after you have used it. The rubber gasket, control valve, and lid handle can be removed from the lid and cleaned by hand. The disassembled lid and the lower part are dishwasher-proof. Replace the parts which are subject to wear, such as the rubber gasket, at least every two years, and sooner if used more frequently. If the euromatic is blocked, for safety reasons the pressure cooker may not be opened. Consequently please never leave anything in the pressure cooker.
