Toastmaster® Pressure Cooker has a

Browning Feature that allows you to sauté or brown foods in the Pressure Cooking Pan before cooking under pressure. (Follow the procedures described in the Features: Browning section

of this Use and Care Guide.)

3.Follow recipe or chart directions; remove the browned food and/or add the the other ingredients. Always use 1-3 cups of water, broth, wine, fruit or vegetable juice, or other liquid for pressure cooking. Do not use milk, milk products, or cream sauces, as they tend to scorch easily. Make sure the rim of the Pan is clean and dry. Never beat a spoon or other utensil on the rim of the Pressure Cooker Pan. Any dent or mar in the rim may prevent a good seal from forming and prevent the Pressure Cooker from pressurizing properly.

4.Place the clean Gasket in position inside the Pressure Cooker Lid, make sure it is under Lid Lock Mechanism and the Steam Vent inside the rim of the Lid.

5.Place Lid onto the top of the Pressure Cooker Pan so that the Lid Handle is slightly to the right of the Pressure Cooker Pan Handle. Turn the Lid Handle clockwise until the two Handles are together and facing you. The Lid Lock Button locks the Lid in place. Make sure the Lid is properly seated on the rim of the Pressure Cooker Pan and is securely attached onto the Pan.
