¡ When cooking with the lid on, reduce the power
level as soon as you see steam escaping. The
cooking result is not affected by the steam escap-
ing.
¡ After cooking, place a lid on the cookware until you
serve the dish.
¡ To cook with the pressure cooker, observe the man-
ufacturer's instructions.

will be lost. The kitchen timer enables you to set the
optimal cooking time.
¡ Ensure that the oil does not smoke.

ures while the food is cooking. You should therefore
