Health warning
Please note that persons who are allergic to nickel may suffer complications
through using stainless steel pots and pans.
What to do if
... steam is escaping between the lid and the pot ?
This means either that the rubber gasket is defective or the pot is not properly
closed. If the rubber gasket is just dirty, it should be washed.
... no steam is coming out of the pressure regulating valve ?
This means that the pot is not correctly sealed and this should be checked. If
the pressure regulating valve is dirty, the valve should be cleaned. Check also
whether there is sufficient liquid in the pot. If the rubber gasket is dirty or
defective, clean or replace it. The rubber gasket will need replacing once a year.
... too much steam is escaping from the pressure valve?
The heat source is probably turned up too high and should be turned down.
It could also mean that the pressure regulating valve is dirty.
Table of Cooking Times
The times given below are only approximate, as they naturally depend on the
quality and condition of the food to be cooked.
You will very quickly learn from experience and know exactly how long each
dish will take to cook.
It is not necessary to defrost frozen vegetables or fish before pressure cooking,
just increase the cooking time slightly.
