10 Helpful Tips & Tricks
1. Always use at least 1 /2 cup of cooking liquid when cooking under pressure.
2. Never fill the pot more than 2/3 full with food. Never fill more than 1/2 full
when cooking foods that expand such as grains or dried vegetables.
3. Its better to undercook than overcook. If food needs to be cooked longer,
do so in 1-5 minute intervals under pressure.
4. The lid will not unlock if the pressure indicator is raised and there is
pressure in the pot. Wait until all the pressure is fully released from the pot to
unlock and open the lid.
5. Automatic release is when you turn the pressure regulator knob to the
"RELEASE" position. Natural release is when you let the pressure dissipate on
its own (this may take up to 30 minutes).
6. To adapt conventional recipes into pressure cooking recipes, cut back on
cooking time by 40-70% and use enough liquid.
7. Brown or saute foods first for extra flavor. Be sure to deg laze the pot to add
more flavor to sauces soups and gravies.
8. For high altitudes, increase the cooking time by 5% for every 1,000 feet
above the first 2,000 feet above sea level.
9. The pot is dishwasher safe. Wash the lid and gasket by hand with warm
soapy water and dry well.
10. Store your pressure cooker with the lid upside down on top of the pot or in
a separate lid holder.
