HELPFUL TIPS

- When cooking on the PRESSURE setting, for best cooking results always use at least
1 cup (8 oz) of water or liquid so enough steam can build up to produce pressure.
- Do not fill the Pressure Cooker more than 1/2 full with food or 2/3 full with liquid. There
must be enough liquid to create steam, otherwise the food will not be cooked properly.
- If you are not sure of the cooking time for certain foods while cooking on Pressure
Setting, it is recommended to under cook and check the doneness by performing the
Quick Pressure Release method (on p.10). Continue cooking if the food requires more
time.
- When using the High and Low pressure setting, the timer should not begin counting
down until the right amount of pressure has been created.
- Always cook fresh fruit on low pressure.
- You may choose tougher, less expensive cuts of meat to be cooked on pressure setting,
as the meat will break down and get tender.
- When cooking beans, add a tablespoon of oil to reduce foaming during the cooking
process.
