thereisnothing intheway of where thesteam willtravel to.Alternatively,ifthekitchen
environment is not suitable for the above quick steam release, you can place the
pressure cooker inasink andruncold water over ituntil thepressure indicator valve
has lowered. Do not allow water to enter the pressure cooker through the pressure
indicator valve or through the pressure regulator.
Slowly: For recipes containing rice or pasta; egg custards, puddings, dried vegetables
andpulses, stocks. This isthenatural cooling, preferred method.Usingoven gloves
and gripping the handles, carefully move the pressure cooker on to a level, heat-
resistant surface and leave it to stand until the pressure has reduced and the safety
valvehas lowered. This process normally takes about 15minutes (depending onthe
amount of foodbeing cooked, itmay vary slightly) to cool slowly at roomtemperature.
Caution: The pressure cooker will require a gentle shake to disperse any air bubbles or
residual pressure priortoopening thelid after cooking certain foods,such asrice
or soup. Always wait for the pressure to completely reduce before shaking.
2.7 Opening the pressure cooker
To open the lid, push the ‘Lid lock/
unlock button’ forward on the
upperhandletotheunlockposition
and turn to the right. Align the
triangle 1 on the lid to the triangle
7 on the lower handle and then
release the lid from the body of the
pressure cooker.
Note: Remove food from the pressure cooker as soon as possible after cooking.
Do not leave food in the cooker for a long period of time as this may discolour the interior.
