Tips & Tricks
1.
Always use at least ½ cup of cooking liquid if you’re cooking for 10
minutes or less or 2 cups of water if you’re cooking for more than
10 minutes.
2. Never fill the pot more than 2/3 full with food and more than ½ full
with liquid
3.
It’s always better to undercook than overcook. If food needs to be
cooked longer, do so in 1-5 minute intervals under pressure.
4. The lid will not open if the pressure indicator is still up and there is
pressure in the pot. Wait until the pressure if fully released from the
pot and the lock should unlock.
5. Automatic release is when you move the pressure valve to steam
release. Natural release is when you let the pressure dissipate on
its own (this can take up to 30 minutes)
6. To adapt conventional recipes into pressure cooking recipes, cut
back on cooking time at least 40-70% and use enough liquid.
7. Brown or sauté foods first for extra flavor. Be sure to deglaze the
pot to add more flavor.
8. For high altitudes, increase the cooking time by 5% for every 1,000
feet above the first 2,000 feet
9. The pot is dishwasher safe. Wash the lid and gasket with soapy,
warm water and dry well.
10. Store your pressure cooker with the lid upside down on top of the
pot.
