Fill the pan with sufficient liquid to generate the necessary
steam (water, sauce or stock).
WARNING: always add adequate liquid. NEVER let the
pressure cooker “cook dry”.
Now add the cooking material.
Liquid and food to be cooked should fill at least 1/3 of the
pot`s capacity.
Maximum 1/2 full for foods that expand or tend to foam.
Maximum 2/3 full for all other foods.
Please observe the filler scale inside the pan.
Please check that there is adequate space between the food
to be cooked and the lid with safety valves.
Note:
So that the base of the cooker is not corroded by salt, you
should only add salt to water which is already boiling, and
stir it gently.
Now put the lid on the cooker.
The steam insert:
Put the wire stand onto the bottom of the pot and place the
steam insert onto the stand. Pour just enough liquid into the
pot so that its level will just be under the insert. Foodstuffs
meant for stewing or steaming may now be put into the insert
and will cook through the flow of developing vapour.
The foodstuffs will remain tender and juicy through this
method. Using the steam insert is significantly contributing
towards a healthier diet because water-soluble vitamins and
nutrients will be preserved and by doing without oils and fats,
the stewing/steaming method is recommended within the
scope of a calorie-conscious diet.
