Introduction

Congratulations! You are about to learn how to cook and prepare deli- cious, home made meals in a fraction of the time it normally takes, without sacrificing flavor or nutrition. Your Nutritionist® Programmable Pressure Cooker is quick, safe and easy to use. And best of all, it can shorten the traditional cooking time of most foods by up to 70 percent.

1.Your Programmable Pressure Cooker cooks like a traditional Pressure Cooker by combining steam heat and pressure for faster cooking times. Since an air tight seal is formed when the Lid is closed and locked, the heat and steam stay trapped inside the Removable Cooking Pot. As the steam builds and the pressure rises, the cooking temperature will get as hot as 250º F, which is 38º F hotter than when food is cooked in a standard pot with liquid. This combination of high heat and pressure cooks the food faster while retaining water soluble nutrients and flavor.

2.Your Nutritionist® Pressure Cooker takes the guesswork out of cooking under pressure. A built-in Thermostat knows exactly when low or high pressure is reached inside the Removable Cooking Pot and automati- cally adjusts the heat and triggers the timer to begin. These computer- ized functions eliminate the need to make heat adjustments, necessary when using a stovetop cooker.

3.The 1500 watt Heating Element allows for quick heating and for main- taining even cooking temperature and pressure.

4.The large, 8-quart capacity, heavy-duty, non-stick, aluminum Removable Cooking Pot heats up quickly and evenly.

5.The Nutritionist® Programmable Pressure Cooker has a BROWN Mode that allows you to sauté or brown food in the Removable Cooking Pot before cooking under pressure.

6.The Quick Steam Release Feature allows you to release pressure with the simple push of a button. Press this RELEASE Button in short bursts to prevent ejection of hot liquid along with steam.

7.The STEAM Mode heats cooking liquid in the Removable Cooking Pot to a boil in a matter of minutes for steaming an endless variety of foods like vegetables and shellfish (as well as rice).

8.The software incorporates a CANCEL feature for both COOK TIME and DELAY TIME during setup. If it becomes necessary to cancel or reset the time before cooking has begun, simply press the COOK TIME and START/STOP Buttons simultaneously to reset the Cook Time to "01"; or press the DELAY TIME and START/STOP Buttons simultaneously to reset the Delay Time to "00".

9.The WARM Mode holds and keeps cooked food warm for an unlimited period of time.

10.The sturdy, brushed stainless steel and molded Housing of your Nutritionist® Programmable Pressure Cooker is both attractive and functional.
