Known throughout Europe as the most popular model of pressure cooker, the Perfect WMF cooker is the classic model of this brand's robust pressure cookers, and has the same quality and resistance as all WMF products. Reliable, ultra-fast and with a very practical design, it is an ideal pot for cooking in record time.
Features of the Perfect Pressure Cooker
This pot, which is the latest model launched in 2023 by WMF, has the following features:
- The new lid features technology applied to the handle and a somewhat more modern design with more intuitive pictograms. The symbols on the handle indicating the opening, closing, and steam release of the pot are much clearer and understandable.
- Improved anchoring system of the handle on the lid. The fastening system inside the handle is very effective and easy to engage.
- Incorporation of a residual pressure indicator valve. It is a small pin or button located on the pressure indicator. With the pot closed and the heat on, it is the first thing that will rise when cooking, before the pressure rings. It indicates that the pot begins to build pressure, and the lid is completely locked. When turning off the heat, it will be the last to lower and will be visible until the pot is completely depressurized.
- The cooking indicator has two levels plus the residual pressure. The two pressure cooking levels, now with more visible rings, are:
- The cooking indicator has two levels plus residual pressure. The two pressure cooking levels are:
- Up to 110°C (first orange ring), for tender vegetables, fish, and poultry.
- Up to 119°C (second orange ring), for hard food and meat.
- As soon as the cooking indicator reaches the desired ring, the heat is lowered and the cooking time is counted down.
- Once the cooking time has elapsed, the pot can only be opened when there is no more pressure inside, at which point the residual pressure indicator valve ceases to be visible.
- The pressure cooker is equipped with several safety systems such as the residual pressure safety device.
- The Perfect pressure cookers feature the safety valve from the highest range, the Perfect Premium.

What we like about the Perfect Pressure Cooker
1. The resistance and performance of WMF pressure cookers are well known: whoever buys a Perfect WMF pressure cooker knows that it will be with them for life, since it is 100% reliable and safe.
2. It is fast unlike others on the market!
3. We love the design of WMF cookers, because it is as beautiful and practical just like all the kitchenware made by this company.
NOTES:
- If you want to add even more versatility to your Perfect cooker, you might be interested to know that this WMF model has a diameter of 22cm. That’s why the WMF glass lid, which is designed to fit perfectly, is the perfect choice! If you opt for the glass lid you will have 2 pots in 1: a pressure cooker when you use the valve lid, and a pot for traditional cooking when you use the glass lid, minimising the space you occupy in your kitchen.
- You may also be interested in purchasing the steam accessory set, which we offer here. With this set, you can make even more recipes with your pressure cooker, from vegetables, fish or steamed pan bao to delicious desserts and cakes.

Frequently Asked Questions
What capacities are there?
Four, all 22 cm across: 3 l (11 cm high), 4.5 l (13 cm), 6.5 l (20 cm) and 8.5 l (23 cm). As a guide, the 3 l is for 2-3 people and the 6.5 l for 5-6.
Are there sets with two pots?
Yes: 4.5 + 3 l, 6.5 + 3 l and 8.5 + 4.5 l. The lid fits both pots.
What's the difference between the Perfect, the Perfect Plus and the Perfect Premium?
All three are made of Cromargan stainless steel, with a TransTherm base, two cooking levels and the same safety valve. The Perfect Plus works just like the Perfect, with a more modern, rounded handle. The Premium has all the controls in a rotary knob on the handle: open and close, choose the cooking level and release the steam.
What cooking levels does it have?
Two: up to 110 °C (first orange ring) for vegetables, fish and poultry, and up to 119 °C (second ring) for tough foods and meat. Plus, the residual pressure indicator won't let you open the cooker until there's no pressure left inside.
Is the steamer accessory included?
No, the basket with trivet is sold separately. With it you can steam vegetables, fish, bao buns or sponges.
Is it suitable for induction?
Yes. Its TransTherm base makes it suitable for all hobs, including induction.
How do I open it faster when I'm done?
You can release the steam with the control on the handle. The cooker only opens once there's no pressure left inside, which is when the residual pressure indicator drops.
Can I use it as a regular pot?
Yes. It's 22 cm across and the WMF glass lid, sold separately, fits it: with the pressure lid it's a pressure cooker, and with the glass lid, a pot for conventional cooking.
How often should the gasket be replaced?
We recommend replacing it at least once a year, or sooner if you use the cooker often. It comes with a manual in Spanish with a cooking-time chart and the list of service centres.
