About Pressure Cooking
Pressure cooking is an ideal way to make fast, tasty meals for your family! This
method of cooking makes it easy for even the busiest cooks to prepare meals from
scratch. Use your pressure cooker for fish, chicken, fresh vegetables, rice, legumes,
and even dessert -- and everything can be cooked to perfection in minutes.
Pressure Cooker Lid
Pressure Release Valve
Pressure Indicator
The pressure cooker will save you time, energy and money, as well as valuable
nutrients. Boiling liquid inside the tightly sealed pot produces steam, which is
trapped inside to create pressure. The very hot temperature produced reduces
cooking time. The steam helps break down the fibers of whatever you’re cooking
and infuse the food with flavors. This also captures all of the water-soluble nutrients,
making the food higher in flavor and more nutritious than with conventional
cooking methods.
Pressure Regulator
Controls and maintains pressure
and indicates when the pressure or
PSI - usually 15 pounds - is
reached.
Lid Release
Sealing Gasket
pressure-tight seal
Forms
a
between the lid and the pressure
cooker base during cooking.
Cooking Rack
Holds foods out of cooking liquid.
The rack also allows several
different foods to be cooked at the
same time without mixing flavors.
Do not use rack when a blending
of flavors is desired.

Using Your Pressure Cooker
Helpful Hints
1. Gather all ingredients and be familiar with your recipe. Pour required amount
of liquid into pressure cooker, then add food. Use the cooking rack, if desired.
Never load cooker above the maximum ingredient level line. Foods that
expand while cooking (i.e. legumes) should never go above the halfway level.
2. Make sure gasket is securely positioned in the inner lid. Always examine the
gasket before installing and before each use. Make sure it is in good working
order and free of any tears.
•
•
Read this manual thoroughly and follow all recommendations.
Start timing once pressure is reached. Immediately reduce heat to just maintain
that pressure.
•
•
•
Be familiar with the recipe and have all ingredients ready before you begin.
Be sure the lid is secured properly before developing pressure.
A kitchen timer is a must-have accessory. Timing is a vital key to recipe success
when pressure cooking.
3. Secure cover on pressure cooker by first lining up the arrows printed on the lid
and the cooker. Then twist the lid clockwise to secure in place (cover handles
should be directly above the body handles).
•
You may wish to brown some meats before cooking with other ingredients. To
do so, preheat pressure cooker (without lid) to 350°. Add oil and brown meat.
Do not cover or develop pressure when browning.
Cut foods into uniform-size pieces to promote even cooking. In recipes that
call for various ingredients, cut those that cook more quickly into larger pieces
and those that cook more slowly into smaller pieces.
4. Plug power cord into unit first and then into a 120-volt 60 Hz AC only outlet.
•
5. Set the pressure regulator to 10 or 15 PSI by lining up the circle with
I
for 10
or II for 15. (Most recipes call for 15 PSI, or 15 pounds of pressure.) Turning
the regulator to the right increases PSI, and turning to the left decreases PSI.
Make sure pressure release valve is in the up position.
•
•
Many different cooking liquids can be used in a pressure cooker: wine, beer,
bouillon, fruit juices, water and more.
6. Set temperature dial to desired setting. Heat the pressure cooker until the
pressure indicator pops up, indicating high pressure has been achieved. Adjust
heat as indicated in your recipe to maintain pressure. Cooking time begins at
this point.
6. Set a kitchen timer and cook for the length of time specified in recipe. Then
reduce pressure as specified. When recipe states "let pressure drop on its own,"
turn temperature dial to OFF and unplug the cooker. When recipe states
"reduce pressure at once" or “reduce pressure manually”, flip the pressure
release valve to release steam and reduce pressure.
After becoming familiar with your pressure cooker, you can convert conven-
tional recipes for pressure cooking. In general, reduce cooking times by two
thirds. The amount of liquid used may also have to be adjusted because there
is very little evaporation from the pressure cooker. Reduce the amount of liquid
so there is only about 1/2 cup more than desired in the finished product.
Remember, however, there must always be some liquid in the pressure cooker
to form the necessary steam. Try this formula ; 1 cup of liquid for the first 15
minutes of pressure cooking then 1/3 cup of liquid for each subsequent 15
minutes.
7. Pressure is completely reduced when the pressure indicator has dropped. Only
then is it safe to remove pressure cooker lid and serve food. Remove lid by
pressing green lid-release button and twisting lid counter-clockwise. As a safety
feature, the lid-release button will not engage unless all pressure is reduced.
•
•
Since flavors are more concentrated, reduce amounts of herbs and seasonings
when converting conventional recipes. Fresh herbs are better for pressure
cooking than dried herbs.
When cooking dried beans, cereal grains, lentils, split peas, rice or other foods
that absorb liquid and expand, do not fill the cooker more than half full. The
normal fill line is two-thirds.
Generally speaking, pressure cookers cook foods in about 1/3 the time of
conventional cooking methods.
As a general rule, increase cooking times by about ten percent when cooking
in high altitudes over 3,500 feet.
For faster cooking times on rice or vegetables, bring the liquid to a boil before
adding the ingredients. Then secure lid and lower temperature.
When you are using frozen meats in your recipes, the cooking time does not
need to be altered. Pressure will not be acheived until the internal temperature
in the pot is 40 degrees higher than the boiling point of water. So if the recipe
declares the meat be cooked for 20 after pressure has been acheived, it will
still be the same. It will just take longer to come to pressure.
Always check to make sure your gasket and float valve are clean and in good
working order.
Additional Safety Tips
•
•
•
•
•
•
Always keep hands and face away from steam release valve when reducing pressure.
Use extreme caution when removing lid after cooking. Always tilt the lid away
from you, so any remaining steam is blocked from your face.
•
Never attempt to open lid while cooking, or before pressure indicator has
dropped. Do not attempt to defeat the safety lid-release button by forcing it.
Do not cover or block the pressure valves.
Do not touch the pot or lid except for the handles immediately after using.
To avoid burns, allow food to cool before tasting. The temperature of the food
gets considerable hotter than with conventional cooking.
•
•
•
•
Do not attempt to make applesauce in your pressure cooker.

14-MINUTE PASTA MEAL
In a pinch for dinner in a snap?
Use frozen meat, uncooked pasta noodles, and bottled pasta sauce
for the ultimate in convenience cooking.
Helpful Hints (cont.)
•
•
Remember if you are not using the basket while pressure cooking the liquid
will flavor what you are cooking. Try using fresh herbs or aromatic vegetables
like onions or garlic, wine or stock. The flavor transference will be wonderful.
Only cook pasta in the suggested manner in this manual. Do not attempt to
boil pasta with pressure lid on; the foam can clog the pressure valve. Stay away
from making applesauce.

•
•
•
Never fill above the fill line. If you are making soup and you are at the fill line,
do not release pressure manually because hot liquid could spurt out.
Never attempt to open lid while under pressure!!!
Always open pressure cooker with the lid facing away from you.
When using the steam release valve, proper evaporation of some liquid may
occur (i.e. when making rice or risotto).
