TIPS for Cooking Meat:
» Cut foods into uniform-sized pieces for best results. Stew meat should be
cut in 1-2 inch cubes.
» Remove excess fat while cutting meat.
» Add at least 2 cups water, broth or wine to meat for the first 15 minutes
of pressure cooking. If cooking longer, add one-third (1/3) cup liquid for
every additional 15 minutes of cooking.
» Use fresh herbs when pressure cooking, as pressure cooking develops
intense flavors.
» To add Sauté, Delay Timer or Keep Warm features, see pages 24-25 for
specific instructions.
