Schnellkochen kurz erklärt
• Add a minimum of 200-300 ml of liquid (see „min“ marking) to the pressure cooker. If desired, also add herbs,
seasonings or wine.
• Place the washed vegetables in the perforated inset and put the inset on top of the tripod in the pot.
• Close the cooker.
• Select the desired cooking setting and build pressure. (See Chapter 6)
Note:
Vegetables are generally cooked at Setting 1. See Chapter 9.
Cooking rice
Rice can be cooked in the pressure cooker without an inset. To prepare brown rice:
• Place rice and water in a 1:2 ratio in the pressure cooker.
• Add salt as desired.
• Add at least the minimum amount of liquid.
• Close the cooker.
• Select Setting 2 and build pressure until the proper temperature has been reached (green ring).
• Cook about 7-9 minutes at Setting 2, then depressurize and open the cooker.
• Or else remove the cooker from the stove, set it aside, and let the rice simmer gently for about 15 minutes. Then
open the cooker.
Note:
Rice can also be cooked in the unperforated inset. Pour at least the minimum amount of liquid into the cooker.
Then put the unperforated inset containing rice and water (ratio about 1:1) in the cooker.
Cooking fish
Fish can be cooked in its own juice, with the minimum amount of liquid, at the bottom of the cooker or else
steamed in the perforated inset.
Note:
Fish is generally cooked at Setting 2. See Chapter 9.
Deep-frying
Foods can only be deep-fried in the pressure cooker without the lid!
To prevent burns caused by foaming or spattering oil, make sure that the pot you use is high enough.
• Fill the cooker at most half full („½“ marking) with fat.
• Heat the fat at medium. Do not overheat it.
• The right temperature for deep-frying has been reached if bubbles immediately form around the handle of a
wooden spoon when it is dipped in the hot fat.
• Never cover the cooker!
Steaming
This means cooking foods in steam at temperatures of around 100°C. Hot steam surrounds the food and condenses
on its surface. The food does not lie in the water while it is being cooked. This is why you need to use the perforated
inset for steaming. Depending on the model, the inset may be included or else sold separately.
• Add a minimum of 200-300 ml of liquid (see „min“ marking) to the pressure cooker. If desired, also add herbs,
seasonings or wine.
• Place the food in the perforated inset and place the inset on top of the tripod in the cooker.
