COOKING WITH YOUR PRESSURE COOKER
Do not fill the pot above the "MAX" line.
If ingredients expand easily in water
(such as dry rice or pasta), do not fill pot
over halfway.
Pressure Cooking
To cook with pressure, always use at least 1
US cup (240 mL) of water-based liquid (such
as water, sauce, juice, wine, beer, or stocks),
so the cooker can produce enough steam
for pressure cooking. Oil and oil-based
liquids (and thick sauces) will not work for
this requirement.
