Preparing Your Pressure Cooker - Elite Platinum EPC-1013 Instruction Manual

PREPARING YOUR PRESSURE COOKER

1. To open the lid, hold the Handle (1) and turn it in a clockwise direction
until you reach the Opened Lid position (Figure 6). Then pull upwards
to vertical position (Figure 7). Once the lid is removed, place the lid
onto a flat surface such as a counter or table.
2. Remove the inner pot (6) and place desired food and liquids into the
pot. The amount of water and food should not exceed 4/5 of the
height of the inner Pot (Figure 8.) For food that will expand in water,
the level should not exceed 3/5 of the Inner Pot (Figure 8). The
minimum level for cooking would be 1/5 of the Inner Pot (Figure 8).
*Cooking Rice
•
When cooking rice, the maximum amount of rice allowed for this 10 quart
pressure cooker is 20 cups of uncooked rice using the measuring cup provided
with this pressure cooker.
•
Normally one cup of rice requires one cup of water. This may vary
to taste.
3.
Be certain the inner receptacle, where the
Electronic Heater is located, is clean before
inserting the inner pot. Place the inner pot into
the pressure cooker and adjust the pot left and
right to ensure optimal contact between the
Inner Pot and the Electronic Heater (Figure 9).
