Is it normal for the air vent/cover lock to rise up partially and drop back down when cooking first begins?

It is possible that the air vent/cover lock will move up and down slightly when cooking first begins. Do not be concerned. The air vent/

cover lock will remain in the up position once the cooker has sealed. However, if the air vent/cover lock continues to move up and down 

or rises partially, tap it lightly with the tip of a knife. If it does not rise once you have tapped it, the following may be occurring:
1.  The burner is not hot enough.
2.  The cooker is not fully closed (see page 4).
3.  There is insufficient liquid to form steam.
4.  The gasket for the air vent/cover lock needs to be replaced (see page 7).

soups and sToCks

The pressure cooker is perfect for preparing delicious, nourishing soups and stocks in minutes instead of the hours taken by ordinary 

methods.

Stocks form the base for most great soups and sauces, and you can even substitute a stock for water in many recipes to add extra flavor. 

Traditionally, stocks are made by simmering bones and scraps for hours to extract all their flavor. with the pressure cooker, you can do 

the same thing in just minutes by following the simple directions on the following pages.
we’ve also included a few favorite soup recipes and, if you have a favorite recipe of your own, try it in the pressure cooker using one of 

the recipes in this book as your guide. If adding dry beans and peas, they must first be soaked according to directions on page 23. 

Do not 

pressure cook soups containing barley, rice, pasta, grains, dry beans and peas which are not listed in the chart on page 24, and 

dried soup mixes 

because they have a tendency to foam, froth, and sputter and could block the vent pipe.

Cooked barley, rice, grains, pasta, dry beans and peas which are not listed in the chart on page 24, and dried soup mixes should be added 

to the soup after pressure cooking.

FOR SOUPS AND STOCKS, DO NOT FILL PRESSURE COOKER OVER ½ FULL!
