• Cooking time, especially for meat, will vary depending on the size and thickness of the cut, the distribution of fat and bone, and the
grade and cut of meat . Because of this variability, the timetable below should be used as a general guide only .
• When cooking larger pieces of meat, such as roasts, keep in mind that thickness rather than weight is the most important factor in
determining cooking time . The cooking times found in the meat and poultry timetable are for roasts that are 2 to 3 inches thick . If the
roast is thicker than 3 inches, add 5 additional minutes to the cooking time .
• To cook, pour 1 to 1½ cups of water or other liquid into the cooking pot. If using the cooking rack, position it in the cooking pot and
then place meat or poultry on rack . Close cover . Place quick pressure release valve on vent pipe . Cook using the
MEAT
or
POULTRY
preset and the time indicated in the timetable on below . Release pressure as indicated in the timetable .
• Thicken sauce or cooking liquid after pressure cooking is complete . This can be accomplished by reducing the volume by pressing
SAUTÉ
and allowing the liquid to simmer for 5 to 10 minutes . Another option is to add a thickening agent, such as flour or cornstarch,
to the cooking liquid . Stir 1 to 2 tablespoons of flour or cornstarch into ¼ cup of cold water . Press
SAUTÉ
and slowly add the flour
mixture to the hot liquid . Stir and heat to boiling . Allow to boil for 1 minute or until liquid is thickened .
• Cooking meat and poultry from a frozen state should be reserved only for emergencies and considered only for smaller cuts of meat,
such as chops, ribs, and steak . When cooking from frozen, add about 50% more time than indicated in the timetable .
FOR MEAT AND POULTRY, DO NOT FILL COOKING POT OVER ⅔ FULL!
NO PORTION OF THE MEAT OR POULTRY SHOULD EXTEND ABOVE THE ⅔ FILL LINE (SEE PAGE 4).
