Steam will immediately begin releasing from the Pressure
Limiting Valve (3). When pressure is fully released, the Red
Float Valve (4) will sink and the lid will unlock to open.
As a safety feature, the lid will not open unless all pressure is
released. Do not force the lid open. If the lid feels tight,
please allow additional time for pressure to fully release
before attempting to open the lid. If there is any resistance
in opening the lid it indicates that your Pressure Cooker is
still under pressure and can
cause injury if forced open.
When the Red Float Valve is
completely down, turn lid
clockwise and lift to remove.
Always open the lid away from
you to avoid skin contact with
any remaining heat or steam.
Preparing White Rice
When measuring rice, ONLY USE THE RICE MEASURE CUP PROVIDED; DO NOT USE A
STANDARD MEASURING CUP. Use the Rice Measure Cup, along with the pot markings to
make perfect rice every time. For example, when making 3 cups of rice, use 3 rice cup
measures of rice and fill with water to the "3" mark. As a general rule, when cooking 2
cups (or less) of uncooked rice, use 1 tablespoon of butter or oil. For measurements
greater than 2 cups, use 2 tablespoons of butter or oil. This will prevent foaming during
the cooking process.
When cooking rice, the maximum amount of rice allowed for this 4 quart pressure
cooker is 4 cups of uncooked rice.
Normally one cup of rice requires one cup of water. This may vary according to
taste.
For best results rinse measured rice until the water becomes relatively clear.
How to BROWN/SAUTÉ
This setting allows cooking over high heat, without the lid, before pressure cooking.
Most recipes will benefit from the golden color, richer flavors and moist results gained
from Browning/Sautéing.
To Brown or Sauté your meats or vegetables prior to pressure cooking:
1. Make sure lid (2) is not on the unit.
2. Press BROWN.
3. Add oil or butter as directed in your recipe and place food into the Inner Pot (6).
4. Stir or turn food as needed until desired color and consistency is reached.
5. Press the KEEP WARM/CANCEL button if you want to cancel the BROWN function
before the timer finishes counting down.
Allow the unit to rest 2-3 minutes after cancelling the BROWN function before
beginning to pressure cook. If the unit will not begin pressure cooking, allow it
to cool for a longer period after BROWNING before selecting another function.
