Your WMF pressure cooker – cooking quicker while keeping the taste

You can reduce your cooking times with a pressure cooker and still retain all the flavour and vitamins inside your food. We can offer you a range of pressure cookers in different designs.

Relaxed cooking – even when you're short of time

You can reduce cooking times by up to 70% for food products and even whole meals by using a high-quality pressure cooker. This system works for soups and stews as well as for vegetables, fish or poultry. Even food that has been deep frozen can still be put into a pressure cooker and quickly and safely turned into a tasty dish. A pressure cooker functions on a simple principle: steam pressure. The boiling point of water increases in a vacuum or under high pressure, meaning that food can cook at higher temperatures inside the pot, which accelerates the process. The hermetic lock by means of a sealing ring and a so-called bayonet lock means the food's flavour and nutrients remain intact. So it's a win-win for you - a more intense taste and less time to wait to be able to enjoy it! Pressure cookers from the WMF cookware assortment have two different heat settings. The safety setting makes sure that the pot can only be opened when the pressure has completely dissipated.

The benefits of WMF pressure cookers at a glance:

Pressure cookers have their own section within our pots range because they have a particular level of technology and accessories to seal the inside of the pot. The reliable construction and meticulous workmanship give this high-quality item of cookware additional advantages:

• The bayonet lock and positioning aid guarantee a secure lock.
• An easily visible indicator keeps you informed of the temperature inside the pressure cooker during the cooking process.
• A robust sealing ring ensures the cooker is sealed airtight.
• All the technology is contained within the handle, which can be removed and washed under running water.
• WMF pressure cookers are made from reliable Cromargan® stainless steel 18/10 and have a measuring scale on the inside.
• The TransTherm universal base makes the pots suitable for use on all kinds of hob.

Replacement inserts or lids for your pressure cooker can be found in our WMF shop!

What size do you need?

Our pressure cookers are available in a range of sizes from 2.5 l to 8.5 l. This makes gentle pressure cooking an option both for single-person households or the biggest of families. Choose the right pressure cooker for you! Our pressure cooker sets are particularly smart. Two pots in different sizes can either be used individually or as a combination.

Never be without it – a matching lid for your pressure cooker

A matching lid is necessary for the technology in a pressure cooker to work. You can find pressure cooker lids in various designs and sizes in our assortment.

The lid adds the finishing touches to the pressure cooker

The pressure cooker cooks food under a high pressure with the matching insert placed inside the steam. This preserves the flavour and nutrients during the cooking process and shortens cooking times. The excellent features of a pressure cooker mean no kitchen should be without one! However, for the technology inside a pressure cooker to work, it needs a matching lid. It lets the cooker perform its main function: the pot is hermetically sealed and placed under pressure. In this way the physical processes that make pressure cooking possible in the first place get to work inside the pot. The pot is kept absolutely tight by the bayonet lock and the sealing ring inserted in the lid of the container, and the pressure inside is regulated by the control valve and the safety valve so that the pot cannot explode. You can control the pressure setting at any time using a little dial.

If the pressure cooker lid is missing!

The technology behind pressure cooking by generating and releasing pressure in the pan is as simple as it is ingenious and low-maintenance. The technological marvels that are our pressure cooker lids are available separately if yours is faulty or if you just want a spare to go with your pressure cooker set. Lids for our various pressure cooker models are available either as accessories or spare parts, and complement the functional pot. Individual lid handles and sealing rings are also available from our shop if required. Every pressure cooker in our assortment of cookware is quick to set up.

Pressure cooking – a delicious taste in double quick time

One of the major advantages to cooking with our sophisticated pan is the reduced cooking time. Every minute matters in our hectic everyday lives. Pressure cookers can be used to gently cook not only healthy vegetables or potatoes but also meat, fish and poultry. Our clever pots can also be used for frying and stewing. By using the pressure cooker inserts you can cook entire meals all in one go.

To make sure your pressure cooking is trouble-free, the lid must be properly closed. The tried and tested sealing technology makes sure that problems are kept to a minimum. If it becomes clear that your lid is no longer closing completely tight and the pressure is not being built up – this will be noticeable if the valve pins are not rising – it is often useful to clean or replace the sealing ring.

The right lid for every pot!

Every pot comes with a matching lid. Our pots are fitted with high-tech lids which also have special functions to help you cook.

WMF pot lids have it covered.

But which lid is the right one? The lids in our collections are not only made to physically fit the pot, but they are made to look right with it as well. WMF metal lids combine safety with the high standards that the professional chef as well as the enthusiastic amateur have come to expect. The lids are in most cases fitted with hollow handles. The thermal break means the handle stays comfortable to touch when the lid is on the pot sitting on the hotplate. The lids are made from our tried-and-tested Cromargan® stainless steel 18/10 and it should go without saying that they are dishwasher safe and suitable for induction hobs. We offer lids both in matte and polished designs, meaning that you can always find the lid that goes best with your pot.

Our lids are completely watertight.

Traditional lids are in most cases made to be non-insertable. The heavy design of the lid can also reliably close the pot without hermetically sealing it. A non-insertable lid doesn't have a seal, unlike for example a pressure cooker lid, but the specially designed edge ensures a perfect fit. A number of lids have a vent hole to stop an unwanted vacuum from building up inside the pot.

Spare lids – making sure you always have the size you need!

Our lids may be robust, but no item of cookware is accident-proof. If you want to replace a lid for one of our pots then we recommend measuring the diameter of the pot just to be sure before placing your order with us. Measurements should be taken at the top inside edge if you want to be sure you're ordering the right one. Because our pots and frying pans are meticulously designed to provide a perfect fit, the measurements don't need to be exact. We sell pots in diameters from 12 to 32 cm, and you will be able to find a matching lid for any pot in our product range, whether you need a replacement or just want a spare.

Pots and lids – quality from WMF

Pots and lids come together as a perfectly harmonised unit both in our cookware sets and when bought as individual items. Choose pots with lids from our collections that aren't just functional but aesthetically pleasing as well. If you want to keep an eye on your cooking at all times then we recommend our collection of lids made from heat-resistant high-quality glass.
