always adjust the burner so that when
using gas, the flames remain under
the base and do not extend up the
sides. When cooking on an electric
burner, select a burner the same
diameter as the base or smaller.
4. Begin heating with the burner set
on high heat (ELECTRIC STOVE
USERS –SEE BELOW). When the
pressure indicator has risen and
steam starts to come out of the
operating valve for first time, lower
the heat to maintain a gentle, steady
stream of steam. At this moment,
the COOKING TIME STARTS and
you have to start timing you recipe.
It is recommended that a kitchen
timer be used to monitor the exact
cooking time.
5. If at any time during cooking an
excessive amount of steam is
released by the operating valve,
lower the burner heat to adjust and
maintain the proper level of pressure.
The steam should come out in a
gentle, steady flow. If the steam is
gushing or very forceful, lower the
heat.
6. If the pressure drops or there is no
steam coming out of the operating
valve, raise the burner heat just until
a gentle, steady stream of steam is
released and can be maintained.
7. While cooking, never inadvertently
shake the pressure cooker. This can
cause the automatic valve to release
steam, which will create a drop in
pressure.
NOTE TO ELECTRIC STOVE USERS
Since the coils on an electric stove retain
heat for a long time, food often becomes
overcooked when the burner is turned
down for simmering (when cooking time
is started). To compensate for that, you
have two options:
1. Two Burner Method: Turn on two
electric stove burners, one on high
and other on low. Place your pressure
cooker on the burner set to high, and
bring to pressure. Once pressure has
been achieved, move your cooker
over to the burner set on low and
start your pressure cooking time.
Make sure the burner is not too low;
there should always be some steam
coming out of the operating valve. If
there is no more steam coming out
of the operating valve and/or the
pressure indicator drops, raise the
heat until steam starts coming out of
the operating valve, and adjust the
cooking time by 1 or 2 minutes.
2. One Burner Method: Turn on one
burner to medium heat and bring
your cooker to pressure. Once
pressure has been achieved and
steam starts to come out of the
operating valve, turn your burner to
low and start your pressure cooking
time. Make sure you don’t lower your
heat too much; there should always
be some steam coming out of the
operating valve. If there is no more
steam coming out of the operating
valve and/or the pressure indicator
drops, raise the heat until steam
starts coming out of the operating
valve, and adjust the cooking time
by 1 or 2 minutes.
Releasing Pressure After
Cooking
Always check your recipe to determine
if the pressure cooker should be cooled
down naturally or whether the quick
release method should be used. The
RAPID EXPRESS pressure cooker also
features an automatic release position
on the automatic valve that can be used
for releasing pressure automatically when
cooking foods such as stews, meats,
poultry, soups. Do not use for vegetables
or tender foods as this will result in
overcooking.

Natural Release Method: To use
this method, remove the pressure
cooker from the hot burner and let
