Pressure cookers

IKEA pressure cookers – for fast, energy‑saving cooking

Pressure cookers need up to 50% less time to cook your food, which means dishes are ready faster and use less energy. And since you can set your IKEA pressure cooker to two different pressure levels, you always stay in control of how quickly or how gently you prepare your favourite meals. From fish, meat and vegetables to soups and stews: a whole new world of cooking opens up when you no longer have to spend ages at the stove. So grab an IKEA pressure cooker, pick out a few great recipes and enjoy smart cookware that turns up the pressure while turning down energy use.

The key features and benefits of our pressure cookers at a glance:

• Energy and time savings: Thanks to their special construction, pressure cookers help you save energy, with cooking times up to 50% shorter than with conventional pots.
• Universal compatibility: Our pressure cookers work on induction, gas, ceramic and cast‑iron hobs – flexible for every kitchen and hob type.
• Preserved nutrients and flavour: Fast cooking processes help retain aromas and vitamins so vegetables, meat and fish stay especially tasty and nutrient‑rich.
• Two cooking levels: A pressure regulator lets you choose between fast or gentle cooking – ideal for everything from crisp vegetables to hearty stews.
• Maximum safety: Multiple safety features such as a pressure regulator, safety valve and safety opening provide controlled pressure release and give clear warning if the pressure gets too high.
• Robust materials: Durable stainless steel offers high resistance to wear, easy cleaning and a long lifespan – backed by a 15‑year guarantee (see guarantee terms).

How does a pressure cooker actually work?

A pressure cooker is a little miracle worker for your kitchen. As with a normal pot, water is heated inside the cooker – but here is the clever bit: in a pressure cooker, the steam cannot escape because a valve keeps it sealed in. This builds up pressure inside the pot. The energy stays trapped, the temperature inside rises and hardly any heat is lost. The higher pressure means water does not boil at its usual 100 °C but at a significantly higher temperature, which shortens cooking times while saving energy and nutrients. Because cooking times are so short, food loses fewer vitamins and nutrients overall. One important rule when using a pressure cooker: the base needs to be covered with a few centimetres of liquid – it will not work without it.

How safe is an IKEA pressure cooker?

With an IKEA pressure cooker, you are firmly on the safe side. A smart pressure regulator keeps the internal pressure steady at the preset level and lets you know early if it starts to rise too high. In addition, a safety valve and a dedicated safety opening ensure that any excess pressure is released in a controlled way. Three layers of protection so you can cook with confidence. That keeps the cooking experience relaxed – and lets you focus on delicious, no‑fuss dishes.
