1. Q: How to cook good meals and dishes?
A: Heating the cooker with high heat till steam sprays out from pres-
sure-limiting valve.
Change the heat from strong to gentle when steam starts to spray out from
pressure-limiting valve. Let the pressure inside the cooker reduce naturally.
Too high heat will make water over-evaporate and caused the food to burn
inside the cooker.
A: Check if the cooking time is controlled properly or not.
Check if the pressure-limiting valve is placed properly or not.
Check if the heat is too strong or too weak.
Check if the volume of water is proper or not.
Check if the pressure is normal or not. (Is there any steam spraying out
from pressure-limiting valve or not?)
2. Q: If cannot cook well?
A: Time begins when steam starts spraying out from pressure-limiting valve.
3. Q: What is heating time?
4. Q: Does different material need different heating time?
A: The maximum volume of the food to be cooked is below 2/3 of the
depth of the cooker. Beans are below 1/4. Cooking material has nothing to
do with cooking time. Besides, the volume of the cooker has nothing to do
with cooking time.
5. Q: Why does the rice turn grey?
A: Cooking under high temperature and high pressure, the amino acid
and saccharides are decomposed by the heat. Thus, foods containing
rich protein and carbohydrates may change color to grey. But it is harm-
less and the taste will not change.
6. Q: After heating, soya-bean milk mixed with sugar sprays out from the
safety valve?
A: When heating, liquid food mixed with thick sugar will spray out from
the safety valve because of the high pressure steam inside the cooker.
When cooking this kind of food, don’t cook with pressure on, which
means don’t turn the pressure-limiting valve on.(A little time to be
enough)
A: Turn off the heat immediately, take the cooker away from the heat
and let it cool naturally. Don’t pour water onto the cooker.
7. Q: What to do in case cooker is heated dry?
