When heating up puree, cream soups and thick
sauces, stir occasionally.

Set heat setting 8 to 9 for preheating.

When cooking with the lid on, turn the heat setting
down as soon as steam escapes between the lid

After cooking, keep the lid on the cookware until
you serve the food.

To cook with the pressure cooker, observe the
manufacturer's instructions.
