Reducing Steam Pressure And Opening - Kuhn Rikon DUROMATIC Mode D'emploi

ENGLISH DUROMATIC® PRESSURE COOKER
To maintain the desired cooking level, the amount of heat applied to the pressure cooker
needs to be reduced accordingly. A hissing sound accompanied by the escape of steam
means that the maximum operating pressure of 1.2 bar has been reached. Reduce the heat
and/or remove the pressure cooker from hob for a short time until the second red line is
just visible.
Vegetables are cooked especially gently in the steamer insert or on the trivet.
Colour, flavour, vitamins and nutrients are retained.
9.1 FRYING WITH THE DUROMATIC® NON-STICK
Only use oils or vegetable fats suitable for frying (refer to the usage information on the
oil container) when searing meats prior to the completion of cooking under pressure.
We recommend the use of plastic (ideally silicone) or wooden turners in spite of
the hard and very resistant titanium base coating.

10. REDUCING STEAM PRESSURE AND OPENING

Never use force to open the lid!
After cooking mash-type foods (like grains or pulses) or foods with a high fat
content, shake the cooker gently before opening the lid. This will prevent the
contents spitting when the lid is opened.
The pressure cooker can only be opened when there is no pressure inside it.
This is a safety feature. Reduce the pressure in one of the following ways:
10.1 SLOW PRESSURE REDUCTION
Remove the pressure cooker from the heat source and allow it to cool.
10.2 NORMAL PRESSURE REDUCTION

Press lightly on the pressure indicator stem until no more
steam escapes.
