Braised meat is browned in the
Sicomatic
®
. The required quantity
of liquid is not added until the sim-
mering stage.
If pieces of meat are too big they
are sliced, browned separately and
layered for further cooking.
Boiling meat is cooked with 1-1
1
⁄
2
L of liquid in the
bottom of the pressure cooker.
The cooking time itself largely depends on the quali-
ty, age, texture and size of the meat. We therefore
drew up the reference cooking times for several
categories taking these factors into consideration.
The cooking time begins as soon as the 2nd ring
on the pressure indicator can be seen and is
always based on a quantity of 500 g.
Important:
Always skim off boiling meat before closing
the pressure cooker. Before opening your pressure cooker,
allow it to cool down or gradually release steam very
slowly.
Meat
Fresh fish
Fish stock stick fast.
Do not therefore under any cir-
cumstances release the steam, but take the
pressure cooker off the heat and allow to cool
down.
As soon as the pressure indicator has retracted
into lid handle, take the lid off right away.
Whole foods
Various types of wheat form the
basis of a healthy diet. The latter, as
is known, must be cooked for a long
time and often needs to be soaked for a good few
hours beforehand as well. The Sicomatic cuts this
long cooking time by 2/3, and completely dispenses
with prior soaking. A further benefit of cooking
wholefoods in the Sicomatic is that the vitamins and
minerals of the whole grain are particularly well pre-
served when cooked on setting 1, not to mention
saving a whole lot of energy. The following rule of
thumb applies when cooking wheat: allow about
double the quantity of liquid to wheat (i.e. for 100 g
of grain 200 cm
3
of liquid).
