Beginner's Guide To Pressure Cooking - Breville the Fast Slow Cooker BPR650 Instruction Book

A BEGINNER'S GUIDE TO
PRESSURE COOKING
Pressure cookers are back in the forefront
again. These time savers are wonderful
for cooking succulent roasts, flavoursome
casseroles, delicious soups and even desserts
in a fraction of the time and energy they take
by conventional methods.
Pressure Cooking is a method of cooking
food in a small amount of liquid with a gasket
sealed lid that retains steam inside and builds
pressure. It is the increase in pressure that
raises temperature of the liquid and steam
inside to well above boiling point and therefore
allows food to be cooked up to 70% faster.
This means less energy is consumed and you
will enjoy substantial savings in both time and
cost. Because pressure cooked foods require
very little cooking liquid, more vitamins,
minerals, and other nutrients are retained and
the natural flavours are enhanced.
How to Pressure Cook

steel base.

2. Attach clean silicone rubber gasket securely
into gasket holder.
NOTE
Fit silicone rubber sealing gasket into lid if not
already in place. If the silicone rubber gasket
is not installed correctly into the holder, the
lid will not seal properly. This may cause the
appliance to malfunction and leak steam or hot
liquid which can cause burns or scalding.
3. Always have a minimum of 1 litre
(4 cups) of combined food and liquid
in removable cooking bowl.
