PRESSURE COOKER WITH MULTIPLE FUNCTIONS: 

Multiple functions for cooking, stewing, braising, simmering, and roasting. 

 

Cooking will be done automatically by selecting the different menu choices on 
the unit.  When the food has completed its cooking cycle, there will be a (3) beep 
indicator, followed by the unit automatically switching to the Keep Warm mode. 

 

This unit allows the user to choose the period of Pressurized Cooking Time     
(0-99 minutes) according to one’s taste and needs in addition to the Pre-Set 
menu. 

 

A Delay Timer allows the user to delay the cooking time up to 24-hours.  When 
the timer is set, the count-down will start.  By the end of the countdown, the 
cooker will start to heat up. 

 

The pressure cooker also has its own memory.  Interruptions such as a power 
failure, automatically renew the cooking cycle where the unit left off when the 
power resumes. 

 

RAPID COOKING; TIME & POWER SAVING: 

 

By using high pressure (high temperature), food will be cooked much more 
rapidly.  This will reduce the cooking time and consumption of power.  For 
example:  when cooking rice, this pressure cooker will save up to 20% of the 
electricity and up to 15% of the time when compared to a conventional rice 
cooker.  When cooking stew, soups or braising meats, this cooker will save more 
than 40% of time and more than 45% of power as compared to a conventional 
slow cooker.  Cooking can also be done at high altitudes.   

 

PRESERVE NUTRIENTS & PROMOTES HEALTHY EATING: 

 

Airtight cooking methods preserve nutrients and original flavor of food.
