Dried Legumes, Beans & Pulses
Rather than soaking dried legumes,
beans and pulses over night, you can
place them straight into the Pressure
Express. It is recommended that dried
legumes, beans and pulses need to
be cooked with the ratio 1:2 water.
Legumes, beans and pulses are a
perfect ingredient for dips, salads,
casseroles, stews and curries.
1.
Add the recommended
ingredients (as per recipe
guidelines) to the Pressure Express
removable cooking bowl and stir
to combine, making sure that the
ingredients are level in the bowl.
2.
Once all the ingredients have
been added into the removable
cooking bowl, take the safety
locking lid, align the handle with
the unlock/align position. When
the safety locking lid is sitting
correctly, turn it counterclockwise
to lock into position.
3.
Select the ‘SOUP/CURRY’ setting
on the Pressure Express, then
press the ‘START/CANEL’ button
to commence cooking process.
4.
Once the selected cooking
timer has counted down and the
cooking process has completed,
use the heat resistant serving
spoon or an oven mitt to turn the
pressure regulator/release valve
to the venting position. This will
cause the Pressure Express to
release the extra steam that has
built up inside the pressure cooker.
Allow several minutes for the
steam to be released.
Pot Roast Setting
Pre-set cooking display time: 24min*
The Pot Roast setting allows you to
cook a variety of meat cuts including
beef, lamb, pork, veal and whole
chicken. Prior to cooking, some recipe
guidelines recommend that you sauté
the meat to seal it, before switching to
the Pot Roast setting, if so, refer to the
‘Using the Sauté Setting’ on page 25.
Cooking cuts of meat on the Pot
Roast setting in the Pressure Express
not only speeds up the cooking
process, it also provides a tender and
flavoursome finish as the steam keeps
the meat moist at a high temperature
and infuses the meat with the herbs
and spices.
When cooking on the Pot Roast
setting each meat cut will require a
different cooking time, depending on
the type, cut and weight of meat. The
pre-set time for the Pot Roast setting
is 24 minutes, to increase or decrease
the cooking times as per recipe
guidelines the cooking time may
need to be manually adjusted using
the Set Timer (‘Using the Set Timer
Function’ on page 14).
E.g To produce a medium finish to a
1kg leg of lamb, select the ‘POT ROAST’
setting, then using the Set Timer button
continuously press the ‘+’ button until
it reaches 30 minutes. Once set time
is reached select the ‘START/CANCEL’
button to commence cooking.
NOTE:
Ensure that the minimum
liquid amount of 250ml is placed
into the removable cooking
bowl before pot roasting has
commenced.
*Pre-set times can be adjusted using
Set Timer Function.
