4. Directions for proper use
The pressure cooker is intended for cooking foods to which liquid has been added, and
can be used on all cooking ranges including induction hobs in homes and the catering
trade.
He is particularly suited for foods that normally require a long cooking time,
e.g.: Soups, Meats (e.g. joints, goulash, stews etc.), Vegetables, Potatoes /
some cereals and pulses, Dried foods
The pressure cooker cooks under pressure.
Although the pressure cooker is characterized by a level of quality
and safety, injury (by scalding) or material damage resulting from
misuse or improper use cannot be ruled out. For this reason, take
careful note of the safety instructions.
5. Using the pressure cooker for the first time
On electric cookers, the diameter of the pressure cooker base should match that of the
hotplate or ring. The compatible hob diameter is etched into the base of the pan (see sec-
tion 14).
If you cook on gas, never allow the gas flame to lick the sides of the pan. If you do, the
exterior of the pan will become discoloured and the grips (or handles) will overheat and
degrade.
Before using the pressure cooker the first time, wash the pan, lid and gasket with hot,
soapy water.
On some induction cookers noise may be generated whilst cooking under certain conditions
on account of cookware oscillation in sympathy with the magnetic field. Unfortunately this
cannot be prevented when using this cookware.
