Hints and Tips

 

To ensure best cooking performance when cooking under pressure, always use at least 8 oz. of water or liquid in your recipes to create enough steam to produce pressure.

When using the high and low pressure settings, the timer should not begin counting down until there is enough pressure. If after a reasonable time the counter hasn’t started counting down, it can mean one of three things:

you haven’t turned the dial to a pressure setting

the gasket has not been fitted properly into the lid

there isn’t enough cooking liquid

When cooking under pressure, if you are unsure of the cooking time, it isbetter to under cook and usethe quick release method and check for doneness.

Never fill the Multi-cooker more than 2/3 full. The Multi-cooker musthaveenough liquid space within the unit to generatesteam or het food will not cook properly.If you are cooking foods that expand duringcooking, do not fill more than half ful.
