Converting a personal recipe to pressure cooking

◆Compared to conventional cooking, foods cooked under pressure will generally be done in approximately 1/3 of the normal cooking time.

◆The overall liquids called for in your personal non-pressure cooker recipe, may need to be reduced. If too much liquid remains at the end of the pressure cooking time, continue cooking. Plug the unit into a 120V AC wall outlet. Turn the Variable Temperature/Pressure Control to 6 - 7 and simmer uncovered to thicken.

◆Use the charts and recipes provided in this book as a guide for cooking times and liquids needed.
