IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS
When using pressure cookers, basic safety precautions should always be
followed:
1 Read all instructions.
2 Do not touch hot surfaces. Use handles or knobs.
3 Close supervision is necessary when the pressure cooker is used near
children.
4 Do not place the pressure cooker in a heated oven.
5 Extreme caution must be used when moving a pressure cooker
containing hot liquids.
6 Do not use pressure cooker for other than intended use.
7 This appliance cooks under pressure. Improper use may result in
scalding injury. Make certain unit is properly closed before operating.
See “Operating Instructions”.
8 Do not fill the unit over mark “M” inside the pot (less than 2/3 full).
When cooking foods that expand during cooking such as rice or dried
vegetables, do not fill the unit over 1/2 height of mark “M” (less than
1/2 full). Over filling may cause a risk of clogging the vent pipe and
developing excess pressure. See “Food Preparation Instructions”.
9 Be aware that certain foods, such as applesauce, cranberries, pearl
barley, oatmeal or other cereals, split peas, noodles, macaroni, rhubarb,
or spaghetti can foam, froth, and sputter, and clog the pressure release
device (steam vent). These foods should not be cooked in a pressure
cooker.
10 Always check the pressure release devices for clogging before use.
11 Do not open the pressure cooker until the unit has cooled and all
internal pressure has been released. If the handles are difficult to push
apart, this indicates that the cooker is still pressurized - do not force it
open. Any pressure in the cooker can be hazardous. See “Operating
Instructions”.
12 Do not use this pressure cooker for pressure frying with oil.
13 When the normal operating pressure is reached, turn the heat down so
all the liquid, which creates the steam, does not evaporate.

GENERAL RECOMMENDATIONS
Read the Use and Care instructions completely before using for the first time.
• Never use your Emerilware One Pot without liquid, it could damage it severely.
• Always put at least 1 cup (250 ml) liquid in the One Pot
• Be careful to use heat sources which are suitable to the One Pot
• When using a gas burner: make sure that the flame is not larger than the base of the

• When using an electric or radiant range: choose a cooking plate with a diameter equal
to or less than that of the One Pot.
• Before placing the One Pot onto a hotplate or ceramic glass cook top, be sure that the
base of the cooker is dry and thoroughly clean.
• In the case of starchy foods, lightly shake the quick cooker before opening the lid to
avoid food sputtering.
• Always place the steam vent facing the rear of the cook top and therefore away
from your face because pointing the release device towards you could cause a steam
burn.

INTRODUCTION
Congratulations, you are about to experience an easier and faster way to prepare tastier and healthier
food. You can prepare roasts, risotto, even desserts. Plus, you can finish off by flash steaming your
vegetables...a whole meal in “One Pot”.
The Emerilware One Pot utilizes our exciting new Steam-Surround technology that speed cooks an
amazing array of recipes. The magic of this technology lies in the special One Pot lid that surrounds
your food with pressurized steam, cooking the flavors in while not cooking the nutrients out. The
result is tastier, healthier food 25% faster than conventional stove-top cooking.
You can cook everything you need for a whole meal in the Emerilware One Pot. Unlike other
products that operate under pressure, the magic feature of the One Pot is that you can interrupt the
Steam-Surround cooking process at any time you like to taste, add other ingredients and spices, or
insert the steamer to begin cooking your vegetables.
The Emerilware One Pot is simple to use. Once you have gotten the recipe to the point where the
pot is ready to cover, you simply lock the lid into place. Now set the heat control dial of your cooktop
on high and heat until you see the steam escaping in a gentle steady stream, similar to the plume of
steam you see when boiling water in a tea kettle. This generally takes only a few minutes. As the
steam is gently released, you will hear a soft « sshhh » sound which tells you that things are cooking.
When you reach this point you lower the heat and let the One Pot do the rest.
If the recipe you are making calls for adding ingredients during the cooking process, or if you simply
want to see how the food is cooking, all you do is turn the open/close knob and wait for the small rod
in the cover to drop. This switches off the steam-surround process and allows you to open the lid.
Since it only takes about 5 seconds to release the steam, you can stir, add ingredients as needed or just
take a peek to see how your food is cooking. When you have finished, simply lock the lid back in
place and finish cooking. It doesn't matter how many times you open the pot since the surround steam
process kicks back in within a minute.
Now you can get gourmet results with easy preparation using fresh ingredients, in a fraction
of the time that you might expect. Cooking with steam-surround technology reduces the
cooking time and increases the intensity of the flavor of the cooked food.
The easy to prepare recipes included with the product look and taste like you spent hours
in the kitchen. Best of all there is only One pot to wash. Who can argue with that? Quick,
easy, healthy, delicious recipes with practically no clean up.
Now you can make Rissoto with Crimini Mushrooms,Tomatoes and Basil in about 20
minutes. Conventional preparation takes up to 35 minutes and involves 20 minutes of pot
watching. Using the Emeril One Pot you will find that in a fraction of the time you are used
to you, will have a perfect creamy risotto. Once you lock the cover of your One Pot in
place, you can walk away and in 15 minutes dinner is done.
Make a tender beef roast with intensely flavored gravy that has an Asian flare, in just over
an hour.
Clams and Mussels in a Garlic White Wine Broth is a perfect dinner when paired with a
loaf of crusty Italian bread, a fresh garden salad and bottle of well chilled white wine - and
it cooks in the time it takes to set the table.
We hope you will try and enjoy Emeril’s recipes provided with the One Pot. Use them as a
guide to adapt your favorite recipes. Just remember to cook as you normally would, but
reduce the cooking time by about one fourth. Use this rule of thumb as your guide but
check on the progress from time to time to see how the cooking is progressing. Once you
have established how much less time is needed, jot it down on your recipe so you will know
how long you need to cook the next time you prepare the recipe.

DESCRIPTIVE DIAGRAM
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
Never position the One Pot with the steam vent (A) facing you.
When steam begins to escape through the steam vent (A), turn down the heat and
start timing using the times indicated in the recipes.
The steam escaping from the steam vent is very hot.
• When the prescribed cooking time is up, turn off the heat source.
• Open the One Pot, as directed on page 6, Fig 1.
To open: turn the open/close knob (C) counter-clockwise to the steam symbol without
going further, as long as the visual locking indicator is up. As soon as the indicator falls,
turn the knob to the pan open position and remove the lid.
Do not force open.
You can only open the lid when the visual locking indicator is down.
Take care to avoid the jet of steam.
Remove the lid with the opening away from your face to avoid any escaping steam.
Use protective mitts and only touch the handles and knobs.

Minimum:
• When cooking directly in the pan always add a
minimum of 1 cup (250 ml) of liquid.
• When steaming in the basket, you should always add 3
cups (750 ml) of liquid to the cooker.
• Fill the pan with water or food then close the cooker.
Fig 4 (1)
• Place it on a heat source set to maximum heat.
See Fig 4 (2) until steam starts to escape in a steady
stream, similar to the steam you get when you boil
water in a tea kettle.
Lower the heat to medium or medium high, whichever
maintains a steady stream of steam.
FOOD PREPARATION INSTRUCTIONS
COOKING:
Before each use, check that the pressure regulator valve and
safety valve inside the lid move freely. See Fig 5.
Fill the One Pot with food as directed in the recipe.
Do not fill the over mark “M” inside the pot (less
than 2/3 full). When cooking foods that expand
during cooking such as rice or dried vegetables, do not fill
the unit over 1/2 height of mark “M” (less than 1/2 full).
Over filling may cause a risk of clogging the vent pipe and
developing excess pressure.
Place the pan on a heat source and set it to maximum heat.
Cooking starts when the steam begins to escape continuously
from the steam vent (A) (emitting a whistling sound), when
this happens turn the heat down.
You can open the One Pot at any time, to add
ingredients or to check whether the contents are
cooked, but you must follow the instructions below.
To open: turn the open/close knob (C) counter clockwise to the steam symbol without going
further (See Fig. 6) until the visual locking indicator (D) drops down.
If any food or liquid sprays out of the pot while you are opening the cooker, lock it again.
Turn off the heat and allow it to cool naturally for a few minutes. Try opening the
cooker again, if no food escapes, complete the opening as directed below. If food is still
escaping from the pot, allow the One Pot to cool completely before opening. Reheat the food,
if needed, without the cover.
Once the visual locking indicator (D) has dropped, you can continue opening to the pan open
position. You can then lift off the lid.
To lock the quick cooker, place the lid on the pan and lock it by turning the open/close knob
(C) on the lid clockwise to the lid closed position. See Fig 2 on page 6.

HELPFUL HINTS
Helpful Hints:
• Have all of the ingredients for your recipe prepared for use before starting cooking, because the
cooking times are so short you may not have time to get things chopped or ready to add when
needed.
• Use the recipes in the book as a guide for adapting your own recipes. As a rule of thumb, when using
the One Pot, you will save about 1/3 of the overall cooking time. To be sure, check the cooking
progress several minutes before the estimated finishing time. Once you have used your One Pot for a
while you will easily be able to judge how much cooking time is need for your favorite foods.
SAFETY FEATURES
The One Pot is equipped with several safety
features, including two to relieve excess
pressure.
First safety feature:
The safety valve (See Fig. 5) releases the pressure.
(See Fig. 12)
If this safety system is activated:
• Switch off the heat source.
• Leave the One Pot to cool down.
• Open it.
• Perform a full maintenance check on the One Pot
(See Care & Cleaning).
Second safety feature:
The lid seal allows steam to escape between the lid and
the pan. See Fig. 13.
If this second safety system is activated:
• Switch off the heat source.
• Leave the One Pot to cool down.
• Open it.
• Have the One Pot serviced at the All-Clad Customer
Service Department. You will find the phone number in

CARE AND CLEANING
• Follow these care and cleaning recommendations after each use to keep the cooker in perfect
working order.
• Wash your cooker in warm water with liquid dishwasher detergent after each use. It is not necessary
to remove the central unit located on the top of the lid after each use.
• Wash in the dishwasher, if desired. The pan, basket and the whole lid are all dishwasher-safe.
Pan Interior: (Non-stick interior)
To Preserve the Nonstick Coating :
• Never heat fat or oil to the extent that it burns or turns black.
• Center the One Pot over the heat source (this prevents damage to the handle and coating.)
• Most metal utensils may be used with the exception of knives. Avoid using sharp-edged utensils, and
avoid cutting directly in the pan. Do not gouge the non-stick surface. Slight surface marks or
abrasions are normal and will not affect the performance of the non-stick coating.
Cleaning
• Clean the inner and outer coating of your pan with hot water, liquid detergent and a sponge
(scouring powder and pads are not recommended).
Pan Exterior and Lid :
• The polished stainless steel exterior requires very little care. Wash with warm soapy water and dry
immediately to prevent water spotting. It may also be polished with one of the available
commercial stainless steel cleaners, rubbing in a circular motion. Rinse in lukewarm water.
• Use a sponge or soft dishcloth to wash. Steel wool, steel scouring pads and harsh detergents are not
recommended. Nylon scrubbing pads are safe to use.
• Never clean with bleach or other chlorinated products.
Maintenance of the Lid:
To remove the central unit located on the top of the lid:
• Use a coin to unscrew the central nut located on the
underside (interior) of the lid. See Fig. 7.
• Remove the central unit and clean with a sponge in warm
water and liquid dishwasher detergent.
• Check that the steam vent is not blocked by holding up to the
light. See Fig. 8 (1).
• Check that the steam regulator valve and safety valve move
freely and that the seal is clean. See Fig. 8 (2).

Place the unit back into place. See Fig. 9.
• Check that the open/close knob is in the "Open" position .
• Push the moving parts (flaps) of the lid outwards. See Fig. 9.
• Position the central unit on the lid. Turn over the whole lid
while holding the open/close knob. Then use a coin to tighten
the nut inside the lid.
Remove the seal
• Remove the seal from the lid and clean with a sponge in warm
water and liquid dishwashing detergent.
• To refit the lid seal: turn the lid over so that the interior
surface is visible and fit the seal as shown in the diagrams. See
Fig. 10 and 11.
• Change the seal if it is cracked or nicked, or if the seal is no
longer effective.
Tips to help keep the cooker in perfect condition:
• Avoid overheating the pan while empty.
Brown stains and scratches may appear after prolonged use,
but these will not affect the cooker's performance.
