PRESSURE COOKING TIPS
•
Always use at least 2 cups of water or other liquid in your recipes. This will make
sure there is enough steam to be created to produce the pressure required for
cooking
.
•
You should use sufficient food to fill the Inner Pot to at least the 1/5 mark inside the pot. If
using food that expands when cooked, such as beans or rice, do not fill the pot past the 3/5
mark. If using food that does not expand, do not fill the pot past the 4/5 mark.
•
If you are unsure of the cooking time for your dish it is always better to begin with a shorter
cooking time or use the default time. Cook for the set time and use the quick release
method to release the pressure when the timer completes. If the food is not done simply
begin another cooking program until the food is fully cooked.
•
When cooking rice always rinse before cooking. Cook rice in water or broth. Different types
of rice require different cooking times and rice-to-water ratios. Below is a table that provides
recommendations based on cooking 1 cup of uncooked rice.
