General Information for Cooking with Pressure Cookers
Q. What is pressure-cooking?
A.
Pressure cooking is a method of cooking in a sealed pot that does not permit air or liquids to escape below a preset pressure.
The water's boiling point increases as the pressure increases. The pressure built up inside the cooker permits the liquid in the pot to rise to a temperature higher than
212°F (100°C) before boiling. The higher temperature causes the food to cook faster.
Q. What are the advantages of pressure cookers?
A.
Pressure cookers offer a convenient and quicker method of cooking other than cooking on a regular stove top or oven.
Q. What happens when the cooker heats up?
A.
The body of your pressure cooker is made of metal. Heat makes metal expand. When using the pressure cooker for browning, allow the pressure cooker to cool slightly before placing the cover onto the pot and locking it in place.
Q. What if I am cooking at higher altitudes?
A. When you cook at higher altitudes the cooking time must be increased slightly. To adapt the recipes for pressure-cooking, increase the cooking time by 5% for every 1,000 feet above a 2,000 foot elevation.
Q. What kind of liquids are suitable for use in a pressure cooker.
A.
Any liquids that contain water such as beer, wine, meat or vegetable stocks, vegetable juices and fruit juices.
Q. What type of liquids SHOULD
NOT be used in a pressure cooker?
A.
Any liquid that does not contain water such as oils or oil-based marinades and/or dressings. Milk and milk-based foods and sauces or liquids should not be used, as they will foam when boiling. These liquids should be added after the pressure cooking process is completed and the cooker is opened.

Operating Instructions
Releasing Steam Pressure
Warning:
Use extreme caution when removing the cover after cooking.
Serious burns can result from steam inside.
After you have finished cooking in your pressure cooker, you can release the steam pressure in one of three (3) ways, “Quick Release”,
“Combination” and “Normal”.
Quick Release Method
1. After the cooking process has been completed, press the “Cancel” button to stop the pressure cooker from going into the “Keep Warm” mode.
2. Turn the steam release valve to the
“Open” position to release the steam fast. (Fig. 8)
3. Wait until the safety float valve has gone down before removing the cover. Always lift the cover away from you to release any remaining steam so that you do not get burned.
Caution:
Escaping steam is very hot. To avoid serious injuries or burns, keep bare skin, face and eyes away from the steam release valve.
Caution:
Do not use the quick release method for foods with a lot of liquid such as soups and sauces.
There could be an overflow.
Important:
Do not use the “Quick
Release” method with foods such as legumes, grains or other foods that froth or when the pressure cooker is very full.
Combination Method
1. After the cooking process has been completed, press the “Cancel” button to stop the pressure cooker from going into the “Keep Warm” mode.
2. Let the unit cool down for approx.
thirty (30) minutes and then turn the steam release valve to the
“Open” position to release the steam. (Fig. 8)
Fig. 8
3. Wait until the safety float valve has gone down before removing the cover. Always lift the cover away from you to release any remaining steam so that you do not get burned.
Normal Method
Allowing the steam to release naturally is preferred when cooking foods like stocks, sauces and certain large cuts of meat which will benefit from continuing to cook in the pressure cooker. As the temperature decreases, so does the pressure.
1. After the cooking process has been completed, press the “Cancel” button to stop the pressure cooker from going into the “Keep Warm” mode.
2. Wait until the safety float valve has gone down before removing the cover. Always lift the cover away from you to release any remaining steam so that you do not get burned. (Fig. 9)
Fig. 9
Note:
Do not use this method with foods that easily overcook.
Caution:
Never attempt to force open the pressure cooker cover until the safety float valve has dropped.
12
Operating Instructions
Note:
Since overcooked food cannot be corrected, it is almost better to err on the undercooked side by cooking an unfamiliar food for a shorter period of time than you may think necessary.
Using the “Keep Warm” Feature
This function can keep cooked foods warm for up to 24 hours. The pressure cooker will go into “Standby” mode for one minute and then the “Keep Warm” mode will automatically be engaged after the cooking process has been completed.
The “Keep Warm” light will illuminate when this feature is engaged. (Fig. 10)

Tips for Cooking in Your New Pressure Cooker
Meats & Poultry
When adapting recipes for braised meats, allow 20 minutes cooking time per pound of meat. Use 1 cup liquid for the first pound and 1/2 cup for each additional pound.
For steam-roasting poultry and meats, brown first in oil for better appearance.
Rice
When cooking rice and grains, add 1
Tbs. butter or oil per cup to reduce foaming and clogging the pressure valve.
Since rice doubles in size when cooked, be sure to use only half as much uncooked rice as the cooker’s capacity allows. For example, never cook more than 1 3/4 cups raw rice in the 3 1/2 qt. pressure pan and no more than 4 cups raw rice in the 8 qt. pressure pan.
Because rice will be slightly sticky when cooked in a pressure cooker, it is best to use a slow release method. For example, allow cooling naturally or else slowly releasing pressure one level at a time.
To prevent burning, use a heat diffuser if available, or bring to pressure on a medium-high heat setting.
Beans
Although it is not necessary to pre-soak beans for pressure-cooking, there are some advantages. Since the gas- inducing properties of beans are water soluble, soaking reduces their effects.
Always drain the soaking water from the beans and cook with fresh water.
Soaking also cuts down the cooking time and keeps the bean skins from separating from the flesh.
If you don’t have time to soak the beans overnight, use the Hot Soaking
Method: Use 5 cups water for every 8 oz. dried beans, pressure cook on low pressure for 3 minutes, remove from heat source and let stand 1-4 hours.
Always use at least 2 Tsp. of oil when cooking beans to reduce sputtering.
Always use the natural or slow release method to reduce pressure
.
Clean lid and vents thoroughly after cooking rice or beans.
Desserts
Many desserts can be pressure- cooked, especially those that use eggs/and or are cooked over a hot water bath, such as custards, bread puddings and cheesecakes.
Use a dish that easily fits inside pressure cooker allowing 1 inch of space around the edge. The larger pressure cooker works best for this.
Seal the dish completely with foil to keep liquid from seeping into the dessert. Soak up any moisture on top of foil before removal.
For easy removal, place dish inside steamer basket or make a sling out of aluminum foil.

This warranty does not cover normal wear of parts and does not apply to any unit that has been tampered with or used for commercial purposes. This limited warranty does not cover damage caused by misuse, abuse, negligent handling or damage due to faulty packaging or mishandling in transit. This warranty does not cover damage or defects caused by or resulting from damages from shipping or repairs, service or alterations to the product or any of its parts, which have been performed by a repair person not authorized by
EURO-PRO Operating LLC.
This warranty is extended to the original purchaser of the unit and excludes all other legal and/or conventional warranties. The responsibility of EURO-PRO Operating LLC if any, is limited to the specific obligations expressly assumed by it under the terms of the limited warranty. In no event is EURO-PRO Operating LLC liable for incidental or consequential damages of any nature whatsoever. Some states do not permit the exclusion or limitation of incidental or consequential damages, so the above may not apply to you.
