INTRODUCTION
Congratulations! You are about to learn how to cook and prepare
delicious, home made meals in a fraction of the time it normally takes,
without sacrificing flavor or nutrition. Your Programmable 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 250º F, which is 38º F hotter than when
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 Pressure Cooker takes the guesswork out of 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.
3. The 1200 watt Heating Element allows for quick heating and for
maintaining even cooking temperature and pressure.
4. The large, 6-quart capacity, heavy-duty, non-stick, aluminum
Removable Cooking Pot heats up quickly and evenly.
5. The Programmable Pressure Cooker has a BROWN MODE 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 MODE 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 KEEP WARM MODE holds and keeps cooked food warm for
an unlimited period of time.
10. The sturdy, brushed stainless steel and molded Programmable
Pressure Cooker Housing is both attractive and functional.
