The pressure cooker is one of those utensils that, once you have it at home, you don’t understand how you cooked without it. It reduces cooking time by up to 70%, better preserves nutrients, and consumes less energy than traditional methods. The Nerthus 6-liter pressure cooker takes all this a step further with two adjustable pressure levels and full compatibility with all types of stoves.
6 L Stainless Steel Pressure Cooker
- Capacity of 6 liters, ideal for families of 3 to 5 people
- 2 pressure levels: 50 kPa for delicate recipes and 90 kPa for intense stews
- Full Induction Base: compatible with induction, gas, ceramic, electric, and halogen cooktops
- Safety lock with valve and precision seal made in Japan
- High-quality stainless steel, free of lead, cadmium, and PFOA
- Certified according to European food contact regulations
The 2 pressure levels: when to use each?
The great advantage of this pot over basic models is the ability to adjust the pressure depending on what you are cooking. Lentils are not the same as a hake fillet.
🌿 Level 1 — 50 kPa (Slow cooking)
Gentle pressure, perfect for delicate foods that need controlled cooking without falling apart.
Ideal for: vegetables, fish, rice, eggs, sauces, and baking recipes.
🔥 Level 2 — 90 kPa (Quick cooking)
Maximum power to drastically reduce cooking times for dishes that normally take hours.
Ideal for: meats, legumes, chickpeas, beans, stews, braises, and broths.

It is also certified according to the European pressure equipment directive, ensuring it has passed all safety checks required in the EU.
