Pressure Cooking; Operating Instructions - Toastmaster TPC4000 Use And Care Manual

Pressure Cooking

Operating Instructions

1. Position the electrical cord in the slot located on the bottom of
the Pressure Cooker.
2. Prepare food according to recipe or chart.
If recipe calls for sautéing vegetables or
browning meat, add oil to the Pressure
Cooker Pan and turn the Variable
Temperature Pressure Control to
MAX/BROWNING, 7, 8, or 9. The
Toastmaster® Pressure Cooker has a
Browning Feature that allows you to sauté or brown foods in the
Pressure Cooking Pan before cooking under pressure. (Follow
the procedures described in the Features: Browning section
of this Use and Care Guide.)
3. Follow recipe or chart directions; remove the browned food
and/or add the the other ingredients. Always use 1-3 cups of
water, broth, wine, fruit or vegetable juice, or other liquid for
pressure cooking. Do not use milk, milk products, or cream
sauces, as they tend to scorch easily. Make sure the rim of the
Pan is clean and dry. Never beat a spoon or other utensil on the
rim of the Pressure Cooker Pan. Any dent or mar in the rim may
prevent a good seal from forming and prevent the Pressure
Cooker from pressurizing properly.
4. Place the clean Gasket in position inside the Pressure Cooker
Lid, make sure it is under Lid Lock Mechanism and the Steam
Vent inside the rim of the Lid.
5. Place Lid onto the top of the Pressure Cooker Pan so that the
Lid Handle is slightly to the right of the Pressure Cooker Pan
Handle. Turn the Lid Handle clockwise until the two Handles
are together and facing you. The Lid Lock Button locks the Lid
in place. Make sure the Lid is properly seated on the rim of the
Pressure Cooker Pan and is securely attached onto the Pan.
6. Turn the Pressure Regulator Valve on top of
the Lid to PRESSURE.
