PRESSURE COOK
The PRESSURE COOK setting is a great
option for cooking succulent meats, richly
flavored stews, delicious soups and even
desserts in a fraction of the time and energy
taken by conventional cooking methods.
Pressure cooking is a method of cooking food
and a small amount of liquid in a gasket-
sealed vessel. All the steam from cooking
gets retained inside the vessel, building
pressure. This increase in pressure raises the
temperature of the liquid and steam inside to
well above boiling point, allowing food to be
cooked up to 70% faster.
1. Turn the START/SELECT dial until the
indicator reaches the PRESSURE COOK
setting. Press the START/SELECT dial
to confirm.
2. Turn the START/SELECT dial until the
indicator on the right hand side of the LCD
reaches the desired setting.
