BEFORE AND DURING COOKING
Ensure close supervision if you are using the pressure cooker near children.
The steam is very hot when it leaves the operating valve. Be careful of jets
of steam.
Your pressure cooker cooks using pressure. Improper use may result in
scalding injuries. Make sure the pressure cooker is properly closed before use.
(See “Closing” section).
During cooking, check that the valve murmurs regularly. If there is not enough
steam being released, release the pressure and open the lid then check that
there is sucient liquid, and check that the steam release valve is not blocked.
If there is still not enough steam being released valve, increase the heat
source slightly.
Do not cook food that could block the vents of the safety components:
- blueberries, cranberries
- pearl barley, spelt, millet
- porridge oats
- split peas
- noodles, macaroni, spaghetti
- rhubarb
- blackcurrants, redcurrants
When cooking large pieces of meat and food with a surface skin layer (whole
sausages, tongue, poultry, etc.) : we recommend that you prick the skin using
a knife or fork before cooking. During cooking, boiling liquid could become
trapped under the skin and create spatters.
Never use your pressure cooker to cook milk-based recipes (such as rice
pudding, semolina pudding…).
Never use coarse salt in your pressure cooker, only use fine salt at the end of
cooking. That way you will avoid the appearance of “pitting”, which could
damage the base of your pressure cooker.
Never use your pressure cooker to fry under pressure using oil.
Do not leave your pressure cooker unsupervised when heating oil or fats.
Continuing to heat a smoking oil will degrade it and may increase the
temperature of the oil enough for flames to appear.
Do not use your pressure cooker for any other purpose than the one it is meant
for.
Do not put your pressure cooker in a hot oven.
Never use aluminium foil unsecured on a container in your pressure cooker.
Always secure with string.
Never use cling film in your pressure cooker.
Alcohol vapours are flammable. Bring to the boil for approximately 2 minutes
before putting the lid on. Check your pressure cooker on a regular basis when
cooking alcohol-based recipes.
Only use the compatible heat source(s) listed in the user guide.
