Information on using your pressure cooker
"½"
For foods that foam or expand during cooking, such as rice, legumes, broths, or dried vegetables, the pressure cooker
may only be filled half full (see "½" marking).
Important:
Never cook without sufficient liquid, and make sure that the liquid in the pressure cooker never steams away
completely. Otherwise, the food may burn and the cooker, handles and burner can be damaged (see safety inst-
ructions).
Suitable stoves
The fully encapsulated CookStar all-stove base ensures optimal heat absorption, distribution and storage and can be
used on all kinds of stoves, including induction. The integrated expansion joints, seen as a star on the bottom of the
cooker, ensure that the base will be absolutely stable. The proper contact between the base and the burner is thus
ensured – for the best of cooking results.
Regulating the heat source
Browning (open cooker)
Building steam, expelling air
Continuing to cook, steaming,
heating up, thawing
The indicated settings should serve as guidelines. For induction cooking, depending on the power, lower settings may
be used. Please also refer to the information given in the instructions for your stove.
Whether empty or containing fat, an open pressure cooker may never be heated at the highest energy level for
more than 2 minutes. If overheated, the base can turn golden. This discoloration does not affect how well the cooker
functions, however.
Solid/glass ceramic (radiation/halogen): The diameter of the burner should be the same as or smaller than the
diameter of the pot base.
Gas stove: Place the cooker in the center, and make sure that the flames do not extend up the sides of the cooker.
Induction: Always place the cooker in the center of the cooking zone. The base of the pot should be the same size
as or larger than the cooking zone. Otherwise, it is possible that the cooking zone will not be triggered by the pot
base.
