Fissler Blue Point 8-1/2-Quart Pressure Cooker Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)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 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.

WMF Vitalis Stainless Steel Large Stovetop Steamer System, 16-Inches by 11-Inches Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I just received the vitalis steamer. A few notes for potential buyers:
- at a little over $160+, this price at Amazon is the lowest you will find for the large size (there is a smaller version that is suitable for 2 people)
- the unit is hefty and appears to be made of quality steel
- the unit is NOT made in Germany as the description says; instead it is made in China which is disappointing especially in light of the price they are charging
- the steel is dull looking (I have noticed that Rosle and WMF items made in China appear like this; whereas Fissler which is still made in Germany is beyond compare)
- the inside is not as big as expected for 4 people, maybe 2 or 3 if you want to fit food in there comfortably
- there are 2 trays provided - a large one and a small one. The steamer can hold 2 of the small trays and 1 of the large trays, or 2 large trays. It's no surprise that WMF sells the small and large trays individually for over $30+ each! I can tell you that based on the quality and price of the trays, they are not worth buying
- the great thing about this is that the steamer is rectangular; not round as most steamers are. You have more room to play with the types of food you can steam
- there is also an instructional booklet included which gives you tips on "broths" you can make to steam food with
Overall, this is a good product, if a tad over-priced.
