FISSLER COOKWARE REVIEWS – FINE GERMAN STAINLESS STEEL SETS

Fissler Original 8-Piece Stainless Steel Cookware Set

Design:

The Fissler Original 8-piece set features three stockpots and their accompanying covering lids, a saucepan, and a fry pan all of which come in a silver color.

All the stockpots have shiny handles on either side of the body while both pans have straight elongated handles with a hanging hole at the end. The covering lids have a slightly sunken center while the base of the utensils has a circular induction-ready magnetized plate.

Materials:

The stainless steel of the body on all the utensils in this set are calibrated for easy measuring of ingredients while the top edge has a wide rim that avoids messes when pouring.

Handles are polished and made from cast steel, which makes them remain cool to the touch. Covering lids are made from metals and have cast steel handles as well. The pieces on this set are also viable for use over all cooking stoves including induction heaters.

Usability:

We like the condense-plus function that sets these utensils apart and is enabled by the slightly dented covering lids on the stockpots. It allows moisture and flavors to dip back into the food, thus making it tastier and juicer. The versatility of the utensils also enables cooking of meals for both small and large gatherings.

The covering lids, however, bring about a challenge when you want to stack the pots on top of each other to save space in your kitchen. We, therefore, recommend placing the stockpots adjacent to each other with their covering lids placed on top and avoid stacking them because it could cause scratches on the interior.

Cleaning:

Cleaning of stainless steel should be done with soap and a cleaning sponge. The set is also safe for dishwasher cleaning. Tossing the utensils in the dishwasher, however, should not be frequent if you want to use them for long. Moreover, avoid stacking the utensils on top of one another to avoid the walls from rubbing against each other and scratching their interior.

Fissler Marmite 9-Piece Cookware Set

Design:

The Fissler Marmite Set contains four stockpots that come with clear glass covers and one saucepan. Each of the pieces has a wide slanted top edge. In stockpots, the slanted edge allows the lids to sit and fit tightly on their mouths. The set weighs 28 pounds when packed.

Materials:

A stainless steel interior with calibration markings helps the cook to measure liquid ingredients easily. The covering lids also have a lock in mechanism on one side and a hook on the opposite side that enables partial opening of the lid for pouring.

The handles are made of cast steel to ensure they remain cool to touch. The body of the pan supports all common cooking stoves.

Usability:

The covering lid with a lock in and pouring function eliminates the need for extra straining utensils in your kitchen. With the calibrated interior surface, users are able to make accurate measurements right inside the cooking utensil. This eliminates the need to transfer ingredients from a measuring cup to the cooking pot.

The clear glass lids fit tightly over the open mouth of the stockpots and enable users to monitor the food as it cooks without the need to uncover the pot and losing moisture and heat in the process.

The metallic handles on the body of the pots and the hook in handles received praise too due to their effective heat dissipation that allows them to remain cool even after hours of use on the stove. Oven use, however, gets the handles a bit hot.

Cleaning:

The utensils are safe to clean in your dishwasher. The stainless steel materials on the set's body and the clear glass lids, however, only require hand washing in warm water to get rid of any grease that might be stuck on them. After cleaning, ensure that you dry the stainless steel surface to avoid flushing spells that could damage the cooking surface.

Fissler Viseo 9-Piece Stainless Steel Cookware Set

Design:

This Viseo 9-piece set contains four stockpots of varying sizes that have accompanying covering lids and a saucepan. All the utensils have a calibrated interior that measures liquid ingredients accurately. The utensils are silver colored both on the interior and on exterior. The weight of the set when packed is 18 pounds.

Materials:

The body of the utensils on this set is made of 18/10 stainless steel that is both rustproof and corrosion resistant. A base that is made with super thermal technology allows use of the utensils over all cooking stoves including the oven and induction heaters.

The covering lids on the stockpots are dome-shaped. They will sit tightly over the mouth of the utensils, thus locking in moisture and flavors.

Usability:

The utensils feature a practical pouring spout that enables easy pouring of both liquid and solid food when plating. The dome shaped covering lids on the stockpots are clear and made from tempered glass that has high temperature tolerance.

With the additional measuring scale that is engraved on the cooking surface, users can accurately measure liquid ingredients directly from the pot without the need for measuring cups or funnels to transfer the ingredients to the cooking utensil.

The sampled user reviews, however, also reveal that some customers feel let down by the utensils' slow heating over induction heaters. This is attributable to the super thermal base that requires getting hot first before transferring heat to the body of the pan.

Cleaning:

Cleaning of the stainless steel set from Fissler is supported in the dishwasher. Note, however, that the covering lids are delicate and should be placed in a separate drawer away from the pots and pans to avoid scratching or cracking. Hand washing also removes stains from the utensils and should be done using a non-abrasive sponge and warm water.

Fissler Renault 7-Piece Stainless Steel Cookware Set

Design:

Fissler Renault Set is a collection of 3 stockpots and a sauce pan. The pieces come in a dark color on both the interior and exterior.

Two handles are attached on opposite sides of the stockpots while one ergonomic handle is attached on one side of the saucepan. The stockpots come with accompanying covering lids. When packed, the set weighs 15.8 pounds.

Materials:

The body of the utensils on this set has a stainless steel core while the handles feature unique heat buffers that ensure heat does not reach the far end of the handle.

The covering lids on the stockpots are dented at the center to enhance condensation, thus locking in moisture and flavors. The base is suitable for use over all cooking stoves, including induction heaters and the oven.

Usability:

We like this set because of the wide top edge that gives the covering lids enough space where they can sit tightly and lock in moisture. The lids, however, do not have a steam release hole, which means that they could steam up and block the view for a while.

The dome shaped nature of the lids collects the steam and forms droplets due to the temperature difference, thus re-enabling transparency of the glass lid. From the feedback comments we sampled from users of this utensils, we found out that the enameled exterior chips off after some time.

The set's performance on induction heaters also disappointed many customers. The users reported that the utensils take too long to heat up.

Cleaning:

Cleaning these pots and saucepan should be restricted to hand washing, soap, and water. If there are any stuck or burnt food items, we recommend soaking the utensil in warm water for some time to soften the stuck food before cleaning.
