Introduction

Congratulations! You are about to learn how to cook and prepare deli-
cious, home made meals in a fraction of the time it normally takes, without
sacrificing flavor or nutrition. Your Cook's Essentials
Pressure Cooker is quick, safe and easy to use. And best of all, it can
shorten the traditional cooking time of most foods by up to 70 percent.
1. Your Programmable Pressure Cooker cooks like a traditional Pressure
Cooker by combining steam heat and pressure for faster cooking
times. Since an air tight seal is formed when the Lid is closed and
locked, the heat and steam stay trapped inside the Removable
Cooking Pot. As the steam builds and the pressure rises, the cooking
temperature will get as hot as 250
food is cooked in a standard pot with liquid. This combination of high
heat and pressure cooks the food faster while retaining water soluble
nutrients and flavor.
2. Your Cook's Essentials
cooking under pressure. A built-in Thermostat knows exactly when low
or high pressure is reached inside the Removable Cooking Pot and
automatically adjusts the heat and triggers the timer to begin. These
computerized functions eliminate the need to make heat adjustments,
necessary when using a stovetop cooker.
3. The 1500 watt Heating Element allows for quick heating and for main-
taining even cooking temperature and pressure.
4. The large, 8-quart capacity, heavy-duty, non-stick, aluminum
Removable Cooking Pot heats up quickly and evenly.
5. The Cook's Essentials
BROWN Function that allows you to sauté or brown food in the
Removable Cooking Pot before cooking under pressure.
6. The Quick Steam Release Feature allows you to release pressure with
the simple push of a button. Press this release button in short bursts
to prevent ejection of hot liquid along with steam.
7. The STEAM Function heats cooking liquid in the Removable Cooking
Pot to a boil in a matter of minutes for steaming an endless variety of
foods like vegetables and shellfish (as well as rice).
8. The software incorporates a CANCEL feature for both COOK TIME
and DELAY TIME during setup. If it becomes necessary to cancel or
reset the time before cooking has begun, simply press the COOK
TIME and START/STOP Buttons simultaneously to reset the Cook
Time to "01"; or press the DELAY TIME and START/STOP Buttons
simultaneously to reset the Delay Time to "00".
9. The WARM Function holds and keeps cooked food warm for an unlim-
ited period of time.
10. The sturdy, brushed stainless steel and molded, Cool-to-the-Touch
Housing of your Cook's Essentials
both attractive and functional.
