TIpS
To ensure top performance when cooking in Pressure Cooker mode, always add at least 12 oz
of water or liquid to Removable Cooking Pot to ensure sufficient steam is generated to produce
necessary pressure.
•
If electrical circuit is overloaded with other appliances, Pressure Cooker may not operate.
Use on a separate electrical circuit.
•
Tougher, less expensive cuts of meat are well suited for the Pressure Cooker as cooking
under pressure breaks the fibers down for tender, succulent and flavorful results.
•
Fresh fruit should be cooked on LOW pressure (2.5 PSI).
•
Add a tablespoon of oil to water to reduce amount of foaming when cooking beans.
•
When cooking frozen food in Pressure Cooker mode, it is not recommended to use large
cuts of meats such as roasts or whole chicken which will require up to 1/3 more cooking
time. After pressure has been reached in Pressure Cooker, single cuts of frozen meat up to
1 inch thick will cook for same time length as fresh meat.
