Product Description

Fissler Blue Point pressure cookers combine healthy nutrition with gentle cooking, since atmospheric oxygen is expelled and the cooking periods are quite short. Vitamins and minerals, as well as nutrients and flavor, are thus preserved. You can see and taste the difference. With Blue Point, you save up to 70% of the regular cooking time and as much as 50% of the energy traditionally used in cooking. Blue Point pressure cookers have two pressure levels, a gentle pressure level for cooking delicate food like vegetables and fish without destroying nutrients, and a speed pressure level for cooking meats and stews quickly. Blue Point pressure cookers are very unique in that they are completely silent. There is no unnerving rattling or hissing while pressure is inside. Once the oxygen is expelled and the valve locks into place, hardly any steam escapes into the air during the cooking process keeping the kitchen cooler. Because there is no steam, there are no cooking odors. Blue Point pressure cookers exceed the minimum safety requirements of Europe and the United States with patented innovative features such as the Euromatic safety valve, residual pressure block, interlocking lid, and automatic steam release. The CookStar all-stove base, comprised of a pure aluminum core and high-quality 18/10 stainless steel, ensures that the base that will never separate or warp. The energy-saving base also provides quick optimal heat distribution, diffusion, and storage without any hot spots. Safe for use on induction stoves and in the dishwasher. Limited lifetime warranty. Made in Germany.

perfect pressure cooker
By Bevan Wistar
i never thought i would own a pressure cooker till i needed something to cut down the amount of time it takes to make corned beef. 45 minutes instead of 4 hours? i'm in.the blue point is quiet and efficient, providing the ultimate environment for corned beef, stews, beans, you name it.i remember the pressure cooker my parents used as a rattling hissing behemoth that could be heard all over the house. the blue point is quiet and can barely be heard from the next room when fully pressurized.also, releasing the pressure when the timer goes off is as easy as pushing an ergonomically positioned button. this device is worth the money and clearly will be something i can pass on to my daughter.

Fissler 8-1/2 Quart PC
By Chefboyrme
I have been using this Fissler 8.5 Qt PC almost daily for about 2 months now,no complaints,easy to clean,very stable with temperature,no surprises,great company,great product!Update:..03/11/2012 I have been using this pressure cooker about 2x a week,guessing about 120 cooks, a month ago the Euromatic O ring started leaking slightly,took apart and cleaned,then replaced other way and alls ok now...gonna cost about $3 to replace the o ring...the gaskets and the rest of the cooker are like new with some scratches, but still could pass for very lightly used.I'm so impressed that i'm buying another one and placing in storage,though don't see a need for it but just incase.

Bad Lid
By Di
The lid didn't work properly, and the person I spoke to at Fissler wasn 't helpful. I returned it! I suspect it would have been a good product were it not for the lid.
