Cooking in the perforated insert
(special accessory)
l Vegetable
l Fish
l Preserving
l Extracting juice
l Delicate food
In the case of vegetable pour 2-3 cups (depending on
cooker size) of liquid for steam build-up direct onto
the bottom of the cooker (herbs and spices etc. may
also be added for seasoning). Then put in the perfora-
ted insert filled with the peeled and washed vegeta-
ble. The insert prevents the vegetable from getting
into direct contact with the water thus actually coo-
king in steam only. Fill cooker only by 2/3 making sure
there is always enough distance between the food
and the lid, the pressure indicator and the valve parts.

king time.
