Cooking instructions
Every time you cook, always make
sure that the correct amount of liquid
is added – you must never cook dry.
Please also make sure that the cooker
is never filled more than 2/3 full.
Please read the corresponding
instructions in these Instructions for
use.
Different cooking times will also
depend on quality and size of the food to be cooked. For this
reason, the times given below can only be treated as
approximate.
After a time, you will accumulate enough experience yourself to
know exactly how long you must cook your food.
It is not necessary to defrost deep-frozen foods in advance; it is
sufficient to lengthen the cooking times slightly.
Soups and stews with braised meat:
Where cooking times of the different ingredients do not
varymuch (e.g. for meat and vegetables), the meat is browned
and then the vegetables are added with the water. When cooking
times vary widely, interrupt the meat cooking and add the
vegetables and water for the last few minutes. In this way, the
meat and the vegetables will finish cooking at about the same
time.
For soups and stews you should note:
that foods which tend to foam up must be brought to the boil in
an uncovered pressure cooker, and should be skimmed off
before you close the cooker. When cooking is finished, please let
the steam escape slowly, or leave the pressure cooker to cool
down.
