Starting to Cook, Timing, All American Pot Roast

STARTING TO COOK

To begin cooking, set the Pressure Selector on “I” low, “II” Medium or “III” High. Bring the cooker up to pressure at high heat.

TIMING

Timing for most recipes begins after the desired pressure is reached. However, some recipes indicate that timing starts immediately upon closure of lid. If this is the case, do not wait for the red pressure indicator dot to appear before timing.

Be aware that it can take the pressure cooker up to 15 minutes to achieve full pressure if it is full and the contents are cold. If practical, some ingredients (water, stock, etc.), can be pre-heated before adding them to the pressure cooker.

WHEN THE PRESSURE SELECTOR IS SET AT “0” - No pressure - the pot will act as a normal stockpot, without any pressure and may be used with the tempered glass cover.

RELEASING PRESSURE & REMOVING THE LID

NEVER FORCE THE LID OPEN.

NEVER OPEN THE LID TOWARDS YOUR FACE. NEVER OPEN THE PRESSURE COOKER ABRUPTLY. NEVER OPEN THE PRESSURE COOKER WITH THE LID TOWARDS YOU.

After the cooking time ends, you can use either the quick-release method, the natural steaming-off method or the combination method to release the pressure from the pressure cooker. See cooking chart on page 3 for the recommended pressure release method for the type of food that you are preparing. Once the pressure is fully released, you may then remove the lid. For safety reasons, the lid will not open if there is any pressure whatsoever in the pot. Never force the lid open.

To open the lid after all of the pressure is released, unlock the lid by pulling the handle and lifting the lid up.
