STAInLESS STEEL PRESSURE COOKER
Pressure cooking offers several advantages over traditional cooking methods. It
saves time (up to approximately 50 percent) and it tenderizes foods in the process.
Foods typically made using moist heat cooking methods, such as those simmered in
a slow cooker, adapt well to pressure cooking.
The Calphalon 6 Qt. Stainless Steel Pressure Cooker is designed for your safety
and convenience. Remember, the contents inside the base are under pressure, so
releasing the pressure before opening the lid is critical.
Thanks to the uniquely designed lid with its one button locking system and the easy-
to-use pressure regulating controls, operating a pressure cooker is easier than ever
before. Simply use the following steps as your guide.
before the first Use
1.
Place the pressure cooker on a dry, level, stable surface such as a countertop.
2. Remove all packing material.
3. Carefully wash the base in the dishwasher or in warm, sudsy water with a non-
abrasive sponge. Rinse and dry thoroughly.
4.
Wash the lid and the silicone gasket in warm sudsy water. Ensure the lid is
“open” when cleaning to avoid water accumulation in the lid. Always remove
the gasket when hand washing the components of the pressure cooker lid.
Rinse and dry thoroughly.
5. Lightly coat the entire gasket with cooking oil, such as olive oil or vegetable
oil, after every time you wash the pressure cooker. This extends the life of the
gasket and also helps seal the gasket between the lid and the base.

remove any foreign particles.

Soak the beans in four times their volume of warm water for at least four hours
or overnight.
