Sautéing and searing
NOTICE!
Risk of damage!
Improper handling of the pressure cooker may result in damage to
the non-stick coating on the pot.
− Ensure that you use a heat-resistant, non-scratch utensil such
as a wooden spoon to stir the food inside the pot.
− Although optional, it is worth sautéing vegetables, browning
meat and warming spices before pressure cooking. This adds
depth of flavour to the dish.
− The lid must be removed during sautéing or searing.

Take care when food is added as hot oil may splatter.

Make sure that the amount of food and liquid combined reaches the MIN. mark on

When cooking food that expands such as rice, dried beans, grains and legumes,
do not fill more than half of the pot capacity.
