TIPS FOR PRESSURE &
SLOW COOKING

Rice

• The PRESSURE COOK RICE setting is
designed to cook rice so the rice grains
remain separate and tender.
• The rice setting is suitable for all types
of rice such as long grain rice, jasmine,
basmati and brown rice.
• Weigh dry rice accurately and wash well
with cold water until water runs clear.
Drain well and place into the removable
cooking bowl.
• Add corresponding water amount. Water
to rice ratio is based on 1.5 parts water to
1 part rice. See Rice table on this page.
• After cooking, allow rice to stand in bowl
for 5 minutes before stirring and serving.

Risotto

• The PRESSURE COOK RISOTTO
setting is ideal for making creamy and
flavoursome risotto without all the stirring,
and in less than half the time.
• With little or no evaporation during
pressure cooking, it is important to keep to
the ratio of 1 part rice to 3 parts stock.
• If adding a lot of vegetables to the risotto,
reduce stock by a third.
• Use the SAUTÉ setting so soften the
onions, vegetables and aromatics and to
deglaze the pan with wine.
• The key to creamy risotto is toasting the
rice grains before the liquid is added. For
best results, use SAUTÉ setting to toast the
grains prior to cooking. Stir rice grains for
2–3 minutes or until the edges of the rice
grains become transparent and then turn
white.
SERVES
• Rice will swell and double in size after
cooking. For best results, do not overfill
1–2
the cooking bowl. The total volume of
uncooked rice and stock should not exceed
2
the level 8 marking inside the removable
cooking bowl.

is suitable for cooking both large and small
portions of potato.

and cut potatoes and whole large

unpeeled potatoes.

• If pressure cooking large whole potatoes,
wash well and prick potato 3–4 times with
a fork.
• Add 1 cup of water to the cooking bowl
along with prepared potatoes.
• For best results, do not overfill the cooking
bowl. The total volume of potatoes should
not exceed the level 10 marking inside the
removable cooking bowl.
