Pressure cooker: How to use the pressure cooker

Step 1: Check all important points

Check all important points

Check the pressure cooker pot, lid and other parts for any damage or cracks. Refer to your Owner’s Manual for more details

Step 2: Put the food in and you are ready to cook

1. Cut the food items to the same size for better cooking

2. Please observe the correct cooking quantity

3. Get rid of scum before using the pressure cooker

4. Do not use baking soda, milk or large amounts of oil

5. A drop lid (otoshi buta) is convenient for cooking beans

6. Do not use the lid for cooking food with a thick consistency

Step 3. Place the lid firmly

Add pressure only after pressure cooker is completely sealed with the lid

Steam is sealed in by closing the lid on the pressure cooker pot to successfully produce pressure.
Turn the lid till you hear a clicking sound to properly close it.

Step 4. Start heat to create pressure

Leave on low heat when the pressure has reached the desirable level

The pressure indicator pin will begin to rise as internal pressure increases. Keep the pressure on low heat when the pressure has reached a desirable level for cooking.

Step 5. Lower the pressure

Lower the pressure using the best method

Lower the pressure inside when the specified time for the recipe is over. The pressure can be lowered naturally, by rapid decompression or by rapid cooling.

Step 6. Remove the lid

Open the lid only when the valve or safety lock pin has gone down

You can open the lid only when the valve or safety lock pin has gone down. To insure your safety, never open the lid while the pressure is still there.
