Converting a personal recipe to pressure cooking
• Compared to conventional cooking, foods cooked under
pressure will generally be done in approximately 1/3 of the
normal cooking time.
• The overall liquids called for in your personal non-pressure
cooker recipe, may need to be reduced. If too much liquid
remains at the end of the pressure cooking time, continue
cooking. Plug the unit into a 120V AC wall outlet. Turn the
Variable Temperature/Pressure Control to 6 - 7 heat and
`simmer uncovered to thicken.
• Use the charts and recipes provided in this book as a guide for
cooking times and liquids needed.
