Basic instructions for cooking

In this section you will find basic instructions for cooking foods which are most commonly prepared in pressure cookers.

Do not chop or cut food inside the cooker with a knife or other sharp utensil to avoid scratching the bottom.

For soups and stocks, do not fill pressure cooker over 1/2 full!

Remember to ALWAYS use some cooking liquid. Operating the cooker without any cooking liquid or allowing the cooker to boil dry will damage the cooker and will not allow it to build pressure for proper functioning.

Fresh and frozen vegetables

•Wash all fresh vegetables thoroughly.

•Peel all root vegetables, such as red beets, carrots, potatoes and turnips.

•Whole winter pumpkin should be pierced several times with a fork before cooking.

•When you steam vegetables in the steamer basket on the support trivet you should use at least half a cup of water.

•If the approximate cooking time is more than 10 minutes you should use two cups of water.

•Never fill the pressure cooker to more than two thirds of its capacity.

•When you cook frozen vegetables you must extend the total cooking time by between 1 and 2 minutes.

•If possible, use the cold water release method when the cooking time is completed. This is the fastest way to release the steam and will avoid overcooking tender vegetables. You can also use the automatic release method.
