There are eight MENU BUTTONS programmed for your pressure cooker. They are SLOW
COOK, SOUP & STEW, BEANS/GRAINS, BROWN/SAUTÉ, DESSERTS, STEAM, MEAT & CHICKEN,
and RICE. The default times are programmed for quick and easy cooking for small
portions of food. (When cooking food that is more than 3lbs. or more than 6-cups, please
use the Timed Cooking function.) Each of the default times is programmed to detect the
weight of food being cooked and how much liquid is inside the pot during the cooking
cycle. The unit will automatically build up the pressure, cook the food and go to KEEP
WARM when cooking is complete.
