COOKING TIPS
•
It is very important to have a liquid such as water, stock, juice, or
wine in the pressure cooker in order to create steam. At least 1 to 2
cups are necessary to create adequate steam. Thicker sauces such as
barbecue or tomato sauce will not create steam.
•
When cooking a rice, bean, or pasta dish, do not fill the inner pot
more than the 1/2 way mark. When cooking soup or stocks, do not
exceed the 2/3 mark.
•
If you live in higher al8tudes, you may need to increase the cooking
8mes slightly. It is suggested to extend the cooking 8me by 5% for
every 1,000 feet above sea level.
•
All the recipes were tested by weight, so if you wish to cook a larger
piece of meat, you will need to increase the cooking 8me. Add 10
minutes to the suggested cooking 8me for every addi8onal pound of
meat.
•
If your meat is not as tender as you would like it, simply add 1/2 cup
of liquid and increase the cook 8me by 10 minutes.
•
If you ever complete a recipe and the cooking liquid is thinner than
you would like, simply reduce with the lid off un8l the desired
consistency is achieved.
