Tips & Tricks
Pressure cookers use pressure to cook food
at a higher temperature than what can
be achieved with conventional stovetop
boiling, allowing food to be cooked very
quickly. In fact, pressure cooking is about
twice as fast (sometimes even faster!) as
conventional cooking.
The problem with cooking food using
conventional methods, such as frying or
boiling, is that vital nutrients tend to be lost
during cooking. Pressure cooking, however,
is one of the healthiest methods because it
preserves 90-95% of the vitamins contained
in food, according to a study published in
the Journal of Food Science. The increased
speed and heat produced by pressure
cooking essentially flash-cooks vegetables,
retaining more vitamins than boiling
(40-75% vitamin retention rate) or even
steaming (75-90% retention rate).
Pressure cookers require less energy to
operate than other cooking methods.
Because pressure cookers need less heat
and time than methods like stovetop
boiling, you can enjoy an impressive 70%
energy savings.
Using a pressure cooker couldn’t be easier—
add your ingredients and liquid, select a
cooking program, and release the pressure
once it’s done cooking. Best of all, you don’t
have to hover over it while your gourmet
food is being prepared, so you’ll have more
free time to relax after long, stressful days.
Pressure cookers employ a comprehensive
network of safety systems designed to
prevent user injuries or product damage.
One such safeguard that the Cosori Pressure
Cooker uses is that it shuts o if it begins to
overheat in order to protect the unit from a
circuit overload or potential fire.
Sully your pristine countertops with messy
oil droplets no more—pressure cookers
contain all of the splatters that you’d
normally accrue from conventionally
boiling or frying food. Big plus: the inner pot
is quick and easy to clean.
Recipe cooking times for pressure cookers
do tend to be conveniently short, but before
you shut the lid and immediately start
counting down, please first let the pressure
cooker build up the right pressure and give
out a beep (approximately 5-20 minutes).
Thus, for your planning, include enough
time for not only the prep and the cooking
time listed in the recipe, but an additional
5-20 minutes for the cooker to get its
momentum going.
The included rice measuring cup is not
the same size as a US cup. Don’t use it for
the measurements in these recipes! The
rice measuring cup is traditionally used to
measure about 1 adult serving of rice, and
holds 160 mL (a US cup holds 236-240mL).
Similarly, do not use the “RICE CUP” water
line for measurements in these recipes. Use
a standard US measuring cup instead.
This handy cookbook will illustrate how to get the most out of your Cosori Pressure Cooker.
Pressure cooking has many advantages over other cooking methods:
QUICK COOK TIME
MORE NUTRITIOUS FOOD
ECOFRIENDLY EFFICIENCY
EFFORTLESS COOKING
SAFE OPERATION
LESS MESS, LESS STRESS

Quick Release is when you open the valve
and allow the steam to release quickly. Turn
the valve from locked to vent to release
the pressure. DO NOT hover face or other
exposed skin over pressure release valve.
The purpose of the water test is to familiarize
yourself with the machine and make
sure the Cosori Pressure Cooker works as
intended.
1 Add 1 cup water to the Cosori Pressure
Cooker.
2 Secure the lid and make sure the
pressure release valve is in the locked
position.
3 Select any of the 10 pressurized cooking
functions: Meat/Stew, Poultry, Soup,
Beans/Chili, White Rice,Brown Rice,
Multigrain, Steam Vegetables, Steam
Potatoes, Bake. Press On/Start.
4 The preheating cycle will start and, once
pressurized, the timer will count down
on the display.
5 When the timer is complete, the pressure
cooker will automatically switch to
Keep Warm Mode. You can release the
pressure using a quick release or a
natural release.
WHAT TO EXPECT:
• It will take approximately 5-8 minutes for
your machine to pressurize.
• Steam will be released from the float valve
during the pressurizing stage.
• Once pressurized, there should be no
steam released or hissing coming from
the pressure release or float valves.
• Steam should not be coming out of the
side of the lid. If this happens, unplug
your machine and release any pressure.
Then carefully remove the lid and make
sure the rubber sealing ring is placed
properly and not damaged.
• When cooking time is complete, the
pressure cooker will alert you with 3
beeps to let you know that it is done.
Natural Release is when you let the pressure
release naturally by not opening the release
valve when cooking is done. This usually
takes about 10-15 minutes. When cooking is
done, unplug your pressure cooker or press
Stop/Cancel. Then wait 10-15 minutes until
the pressure float valve comes down.
To clean your sealing ring, fill the Cosori
Pressure Cooker pot with 2 cups of white
vinegar or 2 cups of water and a lemon
rind. Secure the lid, select Steam Vegetables,
Adjust to "Less/Low", and press On/Start.
After the timer has completed, remove the
ring from the lid and let it air dry completely.
Once it is clean, dry, and odor-free, replace
the ring into the lid.
Burnt or food stuck on the bottom of your
pot? No problem! Add some water to your
inner pot, select Sauté/Brown, press On/
Start, and boil the water until the food
on the bottom softens. Then scrape the
bottom of the pot with a wooden spatula or
metal spoon. You can also use a powdered
detergent and abrasive scrubber (such as
steel wool) for hard-to-remove ingredients.
