SAFETY FEATURES OF THE AMC SPEEDCOOKER®
The AMC Speedcooker® is possibly the safest pressure cooker available on the market today. Below are
descriptions of the 4 safety features which ensure this.
1.
Red safety valve
used to open and close the Speedcooker®. This valve releases the pressure rapidly
through two steam outlets on either side of the valve if there is excess pressure build-up.
2.
Extra metal valve on the inside of the lid. This valve lets air out on the sides of the black cover on top
of the lid, creating a whistling sound.
3.
Extra rubber valve on the lid. This pushes out of its operating position should the previous 2 safety
features be blocked. This valve will pop up revealing a red ring. If this happens the Speedcooker®
should be sent to the factory for inspection.
4.
Final safety device on the rim of the Speedcooker® lid. This ensures that if an excessive amount of
pressure should build up in the unit, the rubber sealing ring will automatically pop out of the open-
ing in the rim of the lid and release the pressure.

3. Gourmet handle:
Stay-cool stainless steel handles for easy
handling while cooking.
4. Two-third indicator:
A two-third (2/3) indicator line is on the
inside of the unit, under the short handle, for easy reference.
Please note that the Speedcooker® should never be filled more
than two-thirds, or more than half of its capacity when cooking
foods that foam.
5. Extra thick stainless steel:
Only the finest grade of stain-
less steel is used, thicker than other AMC units because this
unit is exposed to very high pressures.
6. Akkutherm molecular base:
Conducts and maintains heat
to provide even heat distribution throughout the entire base
of the unit.
7. Rubber sealing ring:
Fits into the rim of the Speedcooker® lid
and forms a pressure tight seal during the cooking process.
8. Optimum cooking chart:
A guide showing the different
colours that correspond to the optimum cooking levels on the
cooking indicator, of various foods that can be prepared.
