Reducing Steam Pressure And Opening - Kuhn Rikon DUROMATIC User Manual

Vegetables are cooked especially gently in the steamer insert or on
the trivet. Colour, flavour, vitamins and nutrients are retained.
8.1 Frying with the DUROMATIC non-stick
Only use oils or vegetable fats suitable for frying (refer to the usage information
on the oil container) when searing meats prior to the completion of cooking
under pressure.
We recommend the use of plastic or wooden turners in spite of the
hard and very resistant titanium base coating.

9. Reducing steam pressure and opening

Never use force to open the lid!
After cooking mash-type foods (like grains or pulses) or foods with a
high fat content, shake the cooker gently before opening the lid.
This will prevent the contents spitting when the lid is opened.
The pressure cooker can only be opened when there is no pressure inside it.
This is a safety feature. Reduce the pressure in one of the following ways:
9.1 Slow pressure reduction
Remove the pressure cooker from the heat source and allow it to cool.
9.2 Normal pressure reduction
9.3 Fast pressure reduction
Press lightly on the pressure indicator
stem until no more steam escapes.
Cool the rim of the cooker under tepid
running water (but wet the rim only
to prevent water from being sucked into
the cooker).
