Cooking with the
pressure cooker
Preparations
Put the ingredients into the pressure
‹
cooker. Pay attention to the minimum
and maximum filling quantities.
Check for correct seating of the seal-
‹
ing ring as described in the section
Inserting the sealing ring (page 23).
Close the lid of the pressure cooker
‹
as described in the section Closing
the lid (page 23).
Put the pressure cooker onto the
‹
cooker and switch the cooker on to
maximum heat.
Pay attention to the filling quantity
(See illustration D)
You will find a marking (16) on the inside
of the pressure cooker which indicates the
filling quantities in litres. The minimum and
maximum filling levels are also marked.
"min .": this minimum amount of water is
necessary for generating steam irrespec-
tive of whether you cook with or without
the steam insert. The minimum filling
quantity is 1 litre.
"max .": the pressure cooker may only be
filled to a maximum of 2/3 of its entire fill-
ing capacity. In the case of the 4 l pot, this
would be roughly 2.6 litres. When using as
conventional pot, it is not necessary to pay
attention to the "max." mark.
NOTE
► When you cook food that foams
or expands during cooking (e. g.,
rice, peas and beans), the pressure
cooker may only be filled up to half
of its filling capacity. In the case of
the 4 l pot, this would be 2 litres.
