pressure has been reached.

Insu

There is a tendency to s

ti

ck if high 

heats are used.

Meat has been coated in 

flo

to pre-browning which has made 
the liquid too thick, causing 
s

Once VPI has risen reduce heat “Aim to 
maintain a gentle hissing sound & a very 
gentle escape of steam from weight.

General rule for liquid quan

pint up to the 

fir

further 1/4 of a pint for each 15 minutes

At low – medium heat make sure the 
visual pressure indicator remains up. 

See page 4. “Recipe Tips”

Why does liquid spurt out of the 
cooker up through the vent? 

Cooker has been over-

fill

ed so the 

liquid boils up through the vent. 

Vola

tile

 foods e.g. rice, pasta, 

pulses etc.  

Reduce the amount of liquid used. Turn o

 

heat source & unblock / clean vent tube.

Do not over 

fill

 the pressure cooker.
