Delay Time - Cook's essentials CEPC800 Owner's Manual

PRESSURE COOKING (Continued)
16. It is easy to adapt your favorite recipe for use in the Cook's Essentials
Programmable Pressure Cooker. For the most part, soups, stews,
braised and slow roasted meats and legumes, steamed and braised
vegetables, and slow-simmered recipes like tomato sauce, provide the
best results. Instructions and timing charts for cooking commonly pre-
pared foods under pressure can be found beginning on page 17. Bear
in mind that the amount of cooking liquid used when adapting a recipe
will be much less since you will be cooking in a sealed pot for a much
shorter time. You must, however, use sufficient liquid, since the
Pressure Cooker is constantly building steam during the entire cooking
process. If you run out of liquid, and continue cooking, the food will
not cook properly and may burn. While there is no universal guide for
adapting recipes, trial and error will come into play until you under-
stand how a Pressure Cooker cooks.
When adapting other pressure cooker recipes, use the HIGH PRES-
SURE Mode and cook for the shortest amount of time you expect it
might take. If food is not fully cooked, replace the Lid, and slide the
Safety Lock to the LOCK position. Cook under pressure until done.
17. Never try to force open the Self-Locking Lid. Built-in Safety Valves pre-
vent opening the Lid while there is still pressure in the Removable
Cooking Pot. All pressure and steam must first be released as
explained in Steps 10 and 11.
18. Never deep-fry or pressure-fry in the Cook's Essentials
Pressure Cooker, regardless of whether the Lid is on or off. THIS IS
DANGEROUS AND CAN CAUSE A FIRE AND SERIOUS DAMAGE.
19. Do not cook dumplings or other foaming ingredients under pressure
without adding oil. Oil controls foaming and diminishes the possibility
that a particle of food will block the safety devises.

DELAY TIME

1. You can postpone cooking for up to two hours by using the DELAY
TIME in conjunction with the WARM, COOK MODE: STEAM, and
PRESSURE MODE: HIGH or LOW programs. It can be set in 1/2
hour increments.
2. After selecting the desired cooking program and cooking time, press
the DELAY TIME Button for delay time desired.
3. Press START/STOP Button until the Green Indicator Light appears.
The appliance will begin cooking after the set time has elapsed.
4. Do not use the DELAY TIME function when cooking perishable foods
that may spoil if left out at room temperature.
