When using pressure cookers, basic safety precautions should always be followed:
1. Read all instructions.
2. Do not touch hot surfaces. Use handles or knobs.
3. Close supervision is necessary when the pressure cooker is used near children.
4. Do not place the pressure cooker in a heated oven.
5. Extreme caution must be used when moving a pressure cooker containing hot liquids.
6. Do not use pressure cooker for other than intended use.
7. This appliance cooks under pressure. Improper use may result in scalding injury.
Make certain unit is properly closed before operating. See "Using Your Pressure
Canner, pages 10-14."
8. Do not fill the unit over 2/3 full. When cooking foods that expand during cooking
such as rice or dried vegetables, do not fill the unit over 1/2 full. Over filling may
cause a risk of clogging the vent pipe and developing excess pressure. See "USDA
Food Classifications and Recommended Cooking Times, pages 18-20."
9. Be aware that certain foods, such as applesauce, cranberries, pearl barley, oatmeal or
other cereals, split peas, noodles, macaroni, rhubarb, or spaghetti can foam, froth, and
sputter, and clog the pressure release device (steam vent). These foods should not be
cooked in a pressure cooker.
10. Always check the pressure release devices for clogging before use.
11. Do not open the pressure cooker until the unit has cooled and all internal pressure has
been released. If the handles are difficult to push apart, this indicates that the cooker
is still pressurized – do not force it open. Any pressure in the cooker can be
hazardous. See "Using Your Pressure Canner, pages 10-14."
12. Do not use pressure cooker for pressure frying with oil.
13. When the normal operating pressure is reached, turn the heat down so all the liquid,
which creates the steam, does not evaporate.
