Included with the 6 qt, 8 qt , 10 qt and Set sizes. All of them include a tempered glass lid that
turns the pressure cooker pot into a traditional stockpot.
1. Always use at least ½ cup of cooking liquid if you’re cooking for 10
minutes or less or 2 cups of water if you’re cooking for more than 10
minutes.
2. Never fill the pot more than 2/3 full with food and more than ½ full with
liquid
3. It’s always better to undercook than overcook. If food needs to be
cooked longer, do so in 1-5 minute intervals under pressure.
4. The lid will not open if the pressure indicator is still up and there is
pressure in the pot. Wait until the pressure if fully released from the pot
and the lock should unlock.
5. Automatic release is when you move the operating valve to steam
release. Natural release is when you let the pressure dissipate on its
own (this can take up to 30 minutes)
6. To adapt conventional recipes into pressure cooking recipes, cut back
on cooking time at least 40-70% and use enough liquid.
7. Brown or sauté foods first for extra flavor. Be sure to deglaze the pot to
add more flavor.
8. For high altitudes, increase the cooking time by 5% for every 1,000 feet
above the first 2,000 feet
9. The pot is dishwasher safe. Wash the lid and gasket with soapy, warm
water and dry well.
10. Store your pressure cooker with the lid upside down on top of the pot

To close the lid, align the mark on the lid
with the mark on the lower handle. Slide
the top handle to the left into the closed
position until you hear the lock
mechanism click into the lock position.
2.Select your pressure setting and turn
your heat source to high to build
pressure.
3. After the time is done, choose an
automatic release (turn the valve to the
steam position ( ) while keeping a safe
distance) or natural release (allow the
pressure inside the cooker to dissipate).
After the pressure indicator goes down
and all the pressure is released from the
cooker, you can carefully unlock the lid
and open away from you.

medium and lower the heat to medium
low.
