Pressure cooking
To create steam, pressure cooking liquids should be water-based, such as broth, stock, soup
or juice. If using tinned, condensed or cream-based soup, add water as directed below.

*Unless otherwise specified by your recipe.
To get pressure cooking, follow the same basic steps as you did in the Initial test run
(water test) — but add food this time!
Using the multi-functional rack will ensure your food items are steamed and
not boiled. It helps to heat food evenly, prevents nutrients from leeching into
the cooking liquid, and stops food items from scorching on the bottom of the
inner pot.
When the Smart Programme is complete, follow your recipe to select the appropriate
venting method. See Releasing pressure: Venting methods for safe venting techniques.
