Sometimes my food is not completely done after the recommended cooking time. When I try
to put the cover back on the cooker, so I can cook it longer, the cover will not close. How can
I get the cover closed?
Allow the pressure cooker to cool slightly. When the cooker is still hot, the air vent/cover lock will
lift, preventing you from closing the cover. Before placing the cover back on, be sure the quick
pressure release valve is in the “
Steam Out
” position. Once the cover is closed, move the lever to
the “
Cook
” position.
What can be done if the food prepared in the pressure cooker has more liquid than desired?
With the cover removed, press “
Sauté
” and allow the excess liquid to evaporate. Next time you
prepare the same recipe, you may want to use less liquid.
I believe I am thoroughly cleaning my cooker, but sometimes I notice the odor of my last
meal remains in the cooker. Is there something I am doing wrong?
The sealing ring is made of silicone. Silicone has many wonderful properties but it does tend to
retain odors. Over time, the odor will dissipate.
PRACTICAL PROCEDURE - an example of cooking a soup in a pressure cooker
This pressure cooker is perfect for preparing delicious soups and stews. If adding dry beans and peas,
they first must be soaked.
CAUTION!
Do not pressure cook soups containing barley, rice, pasta, grains, split peas, and dried
soup mixes because they have a tendency to foam, froth, and sputter and could block the vent pipe.
These foods should be added to the soup AFTER pressure cooking.
FOR SOUPS AND STEWS, DO NOT FILL COOKING POT OVER ½ FULL!
Chicken broth
chicken can be frozen
celery, cut into pieces
split onion
3 cloves of garlic, split
salt, pepper, soup spices
Add chicken, celery, onion, garlic, salt, pepper, spices and water
to the cooking pot. Close the top lid, press the "
Soup
" button, the
display shows "15" and the light on "High" (pressure) lights up.
The pressure cooker will start heating and when the desired
pressure is reached, the cooking begins - a 15 minute time-out
on the display. After completing the time off, let the pressure
gradually drop down (you can always customize your cooking
time by yourself, extend or shorten it according to your needs).
