24 | 12-Quart Digital Pressure Cooker | Model MCPR3500
STEAM, SIMMER AND SAUTÉ PRESETS
STEAM
We recommend using a steam rack (not included) to prevent the food from sticking to
the bottom of the pot or burning.
Please note that the preset time for the steaming setting is set to 20 minutes and can not
be adjusted. The optimal amount of time for steaming will vary according to the type
of food being steamed and its consistency/texture. If you wish to have your ingredients
steam for less than 20 minutes, pay close attention to the timer and press the “KEEP
WARM/CANCEL” button to end the steaming process whenever desired. If you wish to
steam your ingredients for more than 20 minutes, repeat steps 7 and 8 as many times as
needed after the rst steaming cycle is complete .
1. Place a steam rack (not included) inside of the inner pot.
2. Place a heat resistant dish or container on top of the rack.
3. Add water until it reaches a level right below the steam rack.
4. Prepare desired food and place it into the heat resistant pot or container. Do not ll the
pot more than 2/3. If steaming rice, place the rice in a bowl that is 8 inch or smaller and
place it on top of the steam rack.
5. Close the unit using the tempered glass lid.
6. Plug the power cord into a 120V outlet. The LED screen will display 0000.
7. Press the “STEAM-SIMMER-SAUTE” button once, the STEAM indicator light will illuminate
and the display will read P 20.
8. Press the “START” button to begin the steaming process; once the appropriate
temperature has been reached, the timer will start counting down on the display.
The use of the tempered glass lid is recommended whenever using one of these presets.
9. When cooking is complete, the unit will beep 3 times and automatically switch to “KEEP
WARM”.
10. Press the “KEEP WARM/CANCEL” button to end operation.
