Golden rules when pressure cooking (for UK Consumers)
•The minimum quantity of liquid required for normal cooking is 250 ml (½ pint) for the first ¼ hour cooking. For each additional ¼ hour, or part of ¼ hour, add a further 150 ml (¼ pint) of liquid. For example, 45 minutes cooking requires 600 ml (1 pint) of liquid. Note: This is only a general guide. Certain foods, such as rice, pulses, steamed puddings and Christmas puddings may require extra water (see text below).
•When steaming foods in the basket* use a minimum of 750 ml (1¼ pint) water in the cooker.
•Always use a liquid that gives off steam when boiled e.g. water stock, wine, beer or cider. Never use oil or fat. All pressure cooking requires some liquid.
•Whatever the size of pressure cooker, the maximum filling level when all the ingredients and liquid have been added are:
Solid foods e.g. vegetables, meat joints: no more than
Liquids and cereals e.g. soups, stews, rice, cereal and pasta: no more than half full
Pulses e.g. dried beans and dried peas: no more than
•When cooking pulses they swell up and tend to froth up. Use 1.2 litres (2 pints) water for every 450 g (1 lb)
