COOKING POT MARKINGS
Inside the removable Cooking Pot are markings to guide the fill level of
the Cooking Pot. The word MAX indicates the maximum fill line.
The 1/3, 1/2, and 2/3 markings are handy guides to use in your recipes.
They are important to monitor especially with grains and dried legumes.
CAUTION:
Never load the Cooking Pot above the maximum ingredient
level line marked MAX on the inside of the Cooking Pot.
Foods that expand during cooking (e.g., rice, beans, dried vegetables,
potatoes, carrots, etc.) should never go above the 1/2 mark.
Note:
The Pressure Cooker cannot pressure cook without liquid. Ensure a
minimum of 8oz of liquid is used inside the removable Cooking Pot
PRESSURE COOKING
Pressure cooking is an ideal way to create quick, flavorful meals. Pressure
cooking is a method of cooking food in liquid (water, stock, wine, etc.) in
a sealed Cooking Pot. The sealed Pressure Cooker retains steam and
builds pressure, raising the temperature of the liquid inside the pot above
boiling point. The increased temperature of the liquid and the steam
results in reduced cooking times.
HIGH Pressure Setting is 6.5 - 10 PSI (45 - 70 kPa). It is suitable for a
wide range of foods.
LOW Pressure Setting is 3.3 - 6.5 PSI (23 - 45 kPa). It is more suited to
delicate foods like chicken, fish and some tender vegetables.
KEEP WARM
Setting: When cooking time is completed, the Pressure
Cooker automatically switches to the
KEEP WARM
setting to prevent
overcooking and to keep your cooked food warm until serving - perfect for
busy families, those on the run and those who need flexible meal times.
This setting is not hot enough to cook and should only be used to keep
warm, cooked food for serving.
