pressure release mechanism that should
never become operative under normal
use. If both pressure release valves
become blocked due to over filling,
for example, the pressure will tear the
gasket and escape through this hole.
WARNING: Excess steam escaping
through the hole will be very hot and
might cause serious injuries. In the
event the safety vent is triggered to
release excess pressure, always place
the pressure cooker on the stove in
such a position that the Safety Vent
is not facing towards you or towards
anything that could get damaged by
the steam and sputtering liquid.
13. Stainless Steel Steamer Basket:
The Fagor RAPID EXPRESS Pressure
Cooker comes with a stainless steel
steamer basket. The basket is used
for steaming foods under pressure
without placing them directly in the
cooking liquid.
14. Support trivet: For use with the
steamer basket. The support rack
is placed below the steamer basket
in the pressure cooker, to keep the
contents of the steamer basket out of
the cooking liquid.
Cooking with the Fagor RAPID
EXPRESS Pressure Cooker
NOTE: FAGOR PRESSURE COOKERS
ARE INTENDED FOR HOUSEHOLD
DOMESTIC COOKING SURFACES
ONLY.
Before the First Use
To open the pressure cooker, pull the
pressure lock towards the end of the
handle (Fig. 5) and slide the lid handle
to the right (counterclockwise) holding
the base handle with your left hand, and
lifting the lid.
Before using the RAPID EXPRESS
Pressure Cooker for the first time, wash
all the parts and components with warm
water and mild dishwashing soap. Rinse
well and towel dry. The pressure cooker
pot is dishwasher safe. Fagor America
recommends hand washing the pressure
cooker lid and all its components.
Always remove the gasket when washing
the lid. Wash the gasket with warm,
soapy water; rinse well and towel dry.
Cover the gasket with a thin coat of
cooking oil (e.g., vegetable, olive, canola,
etc.). Follow this procedure every time
you wash the pressure cooker in order
to extend the life of the gasket and to
facilitate locking the lid in place.
Adding Food and Liquid
1. To cook with the RAPID EXPRESS
pressure cooker, it is very important to
use at least 1/2 a cup of liquid if you’re
cooking for 10 minutes or less, or 2
cups of water if you’re cooking for more
than 10 minutes; NEVER USE LESS.
It is important to always use some
cooking liquid in a pressure cooker
since it is the liquid that creates
the steam necessary to build the
pressure. Without liquid the pressure
cooker cannot build any pressure.
