Cooking time:
The cooking time begins directly as the heat is turned down, once
the red pressure indicator valve rises and the pressure cooker begins
to hiss to release excess steam. Once the cooking time has finished,
the hob should be turned off and the pressure cooker allowed to cool.
Caution:
a. Do not leave the pressure cooker unattended during cooking.
b. Do not touch the metal surfaces of the pressure cooker during cooking as they will be
very hot. Always use oven gloves and hold the pressure cooker by both handles,
keeping the pressure cooker level.
c. Keep the pressure cooker away from children and pets.
d. Never remove the pressure regulator until all the pressure has been released.
2. USING YOUR PRESSURE COOKER - STEP BY STEP GUIDE
2.5 Start to cook
Turn the hob to its highest setting in order to get the pressure cooker to its required cooking pressure
as quickly as possible. When using a gas hob, ensure the flame is under the pressure cooker and do
not encroach upon the sides.
Note: Some steam will escape from the pressure indicator valve after the pressure cooker has
been heating. This is normal and will cease once the pressure indicator valve has risen.
It’s now not
possible to open the lid until the pressure has been safely released at the end of the cooking.
Once the required cooking pressure has been reached, steam will escape intermittently from the
middle of the pressure regulator (emitting a hissing sound as it does so). At the point, the heat should
be turned down to the lowest possible level.
If the heat is too high, there will be a constant loud hissing sound. If the heat is too low, there is little or
no noise. You may need to adjust the heat level during cooking to maintain constant pressure. If the
pressure indicator drops down during cooking, increase the heat slightly and extend the cooking time.
