» Place the pan on an appropriate-size hotplate
or gas burner and turn to maximum.
» When the pressure indicator appears it means
there is pressure inside the pressure cooker.
(fi g.4)
» When a continual stream of vapour escapes
from the working valve (fi g.5), reduce the heat
just enough to maintain suffi cient pressure to
ensure a steady vapour outlet
» The cooking time is measured from this point.
