• To add flavour in soups/stews, use fresh or canned broth for the
cooking liquid instead of water.
• Always use the Slow Pressure Release method before opening
the Cover.
• Do not add thickening ingredients before cooking. They can
stick to the bottom of the Cooking Bowl.
• Thicken soups/stews after pressure cooking is completed
following the directions below:
Mix together 2 tbsp. (30 ml) of cornstarch, arrow-root or flour
and ½ cup (125ml) of water. Once the pressure is released,
remove the Cover. With the cover off press the Meat button and
add the cornstarch mixture, a tablespoon at a time, and cook
until the sauce reaches the desired consistency.

level marking on the inside of the Removable Cooking Bowl.
