6. Cooking Times & Sample Recipes
Vegetables – 2½ to 6 minutes

Dried Fruit – 3 to 6 minutes

The cooking time begins directly as the heat is turned down, once the pressure indicator valve rises
and the pressure cooker begins to hiss to release excess steam. Once the cooking time has finished,
the hob should be turned off and the pressure cooker allowed to cool.
Cooking times are determined by the size of the pieces of food. It’s best to cut different foods
to a uniform size if they are going to be cooked together. If necessary, cooking may be interrupted,
pressure released, and foods with shorter cooking times added later.
Use these cooking times purely as a guide. Check food is cooked through before serving. If in doubt,
increase the cooking time.
Cook meat, poultry, and any derivatives (mince, etc.) until the juices run clear. Cook fish until the flesh
is opaque throughout.
When cooking pre-packed foods, follow any guidelines on the package or label.
