Tips & Tricks
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 pressure 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.

pressure setting and turn your heat
source to high to build pressure.
3. After the time is done, choose an
automatic release method (turn the valve
to the steam position ( ) while keeping
a safe distance) or natural release
method (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.

1.Unlock the pressure cooker by
turning the turning handle toward
the direction of the arrow marked on the
handle (Open).
Once the pressure indicator rises and
steam starts to come out of the
pressure valve, pressure has been
reached. Lower the heat to medium to
maintain pressure and start your timer.

medium heat burner and once pressure
has been achieved, you can carefully
move the pressure cooker to the low
heat burner and start timing your recipe.
To clean the Pressure Cooker, remove
the valve by turning it to the steam icon
