Learn how to use the Vitaquick Premium 3-piece set: pressure-cook fast meals, then switch to the glass lid for simmering, serving, and fridge storage.

Quick answer

Use the pressure lid for the fast, sealed cooking phase, then release pressure fully and swap to the glass lid for simmering, reducing, serving, or storing. The two sizes let you match batch size to the job.

Why the two sizes matter in practice

The 3.7-quart cooker suits smaller batches, side dishes, or a meal for two, while the 6.3-quart cooker handles family portions, batch cooking, or larger cuts. Using the smaller pot when it fits means less empty space and quicker heating; the larger pot gives room for recipes that expand or for cooking ahead.

When the glass lid is the better tool

The glass lid is not a pressure lid. It is for unpressurized cooking and for keeping food warm or covered in the fridge. Use it when you want to watch a sauce reduce, stir occasionally, or serve from the pot at the table. It also lets you monitor a simmer without lifting a heavy lid and losing heat.

A note on timing and safety

Pressure cooking times vary by recipe, altitude, and food size, so follow your recipe rather than a fixed minute count. Always confirm the pressure is fully released and the pot is safe to open before changing lids. The set’s intuitive safety features are designed to help, but the cook still controls the switch.

Step-by-step: pressure lid to glass lid

Choose the pot size for the job: Use the 3.7-quart cooker for small batches or sides and the 6.3-quart cooker for family meals or batch cooking. Check that ingredients sit below the maximum fill line for pressure cooking. If the pot is more than two-thirds full with liquid-rich food, switch to the larger size before you start.
Pressure-cook with the pressure lid: Lock the pressure lid, bring the pot to pressure, and cook according to your recipe. Keep the heat steady once pressure is reached. Do not open the lid to stir during pressure cooking; wait for a full release.
Release pressure fully before switching: Turn off the heat and release pressure using the method your recipe specifies. Wait until the indicator shows no pressure and the lid unlocks easily. Never force the lid; if it resists, pressure remains.
Swap to the glass lid for finishing: Remove the pressure lid and set it aside safely. Place the glass lid on the pot for simmering, reducing, stirring, or serving. Adjust heat to maintain a gentle simmer. The glass lid is for unpressurized use only; do not try to build pressure with it.
Use the glass lid for storage: Let food cool as recommended, then cover the pot with the glass lid and refrigerate. The lid keeps food covered without transferring to another container. Check that the lid fits securely before moving a full pot.
