Introduction
With your new Presto

Electric Pressure Cooker Plus, you’ll discover how fast and easy it is to prepare a wide variety of delicious meals.
There are 12 preset cooking programs for the most popular foods, or you can manually program the cooker. You need only select the
desired program and cooking time, and the pressure cooker automatically does the rest.

prevents the cover from being opened until pressure is safely reduced.
The pressure cooker preserves flavors and nutrients, tenderizes less expensive cuts of meat, and is faster than ordinary cooking methods.
A rack is included for cooking several foods at the same time with no intermingling of flavors, colors, or odors.
