Rice and grains cook best in a large amounts of water, with the excess water drained when
cooking and pressure release are completed. In most cases, cooking is done using High
Pressure, followed by a combination of Natural and Quick Pressure Release. If further
cooking is needed, select Simmer and cook until tender. Rice and grains are best slightly
undercooked if they are to be added to soups or casseroles. Oil or butter must be added
to prevent foaming.
A general formula to follow: unless you are preparing a specific recipe or the chart below
indicates otherwise, cook 2 cups of rice or grain in 6
of butter or oil. DO NOT COOK MORE THAN THIS AMOUNT.
Rice/Grain
Arborio/Risotto (1 cup
Arborio + 3 cups liquid/water)
Brown rice
Wild rice
Quinoa (1 cup Quinoa +
2 cups liquid/water)
The exception is white rice, which is cooked differently from speciality rice and grains. Use
specific directions for cooking white rice.
White rice
Use this method for cooking long-grain or basmati rice. The texture will be more moist and
slightly stickier than rice cooked on a stove top, it will be more like rice from a rice cooker
or from an Asian restaurant. The butter or oil is necessary to prevent foaming. Salt is
optional to taste.
White rice is cooked for 3 minutes on High Pressure, followed by 7 minutes on Natural
Pressure Release, then Quick Pressure Release if any pressure remains.
Do not fill (rice and liquid combined) past the halfway mark when cooking white rice.

Do you have a question about the precision EPC 6000 and is the answer not in the manual?
Questions and answers
**** does not come up to pressure
The AEG Precision EPC 6000 may not come up to pressure due to several reasons:
1. Blocked Float Valve or Pressure Release Devices – Ensure they are not clogged with food debris.
2. Improper Sealing – Check that the lid is properly closed and the sealing ring is correctly positioned.
3. Insufficient Liquid – The pressure cooker requires enough liquid to generate steam and build pressure.
4. Food Causing Foam or Clogs – Certain foods like oatmeal, split peas, and pasta can froth and block pressure release devices.
5. Heating Plate Issues – Keep the heating plate clean to ensure proper heat transfer.
6. Incorrect Power Supply – Ensure the cooker is plugged into a proper power source with the correct voltage.
If the issue persists, refer to the operating instructions for troubleshooting.

My pressure cooker no reading air is just coming out on too
Your AEG Precision EPC 6000 pressure cooker may be releasing steam without building pressure due to the following reasons:
1. Improper Sealing – Ensure the lid is properly closed and sealed. The sealing ring should be correctly positioned and undamaged.
2. Overfilled Pot – The total volume of food and liquid must not exceed 60% of the pot’s capacity (50% for dried vegetables, beans, or grains).
3. Pressure Release Valve Issue – Check if the pressure release valve is set correctly and not stuck in the open position.
4. Damaged or Misaligned Gasket – Inspect the gasket for wear, cracks, or incorrect placement, as it may prevent pressure buildup.
5. Excessive Steam from Browning/Sautéing – If you recently used the browning or sauté function, switch off the cooker and wait about 1.5 minutes before selecting the pressure function.
Ensure all components are properly set up before trying again.
