• Always make sure the pressure release valve is in the "seal" position,
otherwise pressure will not build and your meal will take much longer
to cook.
• If using any sort of carbonated beverage to cook with, always use Natural
Pressure Release until the pressure release valve no longer releases
steam. This will ensure the carbonation has time to dissipate and not boil
over the pressure cooker.
• Do not cook pasta on its own in the pressure cooker. It's very likely it will
stick together and turn out like a brick of pasta.
• Have a favorite slow cooker recipe? The pressure cooker is a perfect
way to turn a 4–6 hour recipe into one that's done in about an hour
(depending on amount of food/liquid).
• Forgot to put all of your ingredients in the slow cooker in the morning?
No problem! Place all of those ingredients in the pressure cooker and
create a delicious meal just in time for dinner.
• The Browning function
in one pot before cooking the rest of your meal. Use a small amount of oil
(1–2 Tbsp.) and sauté meats or veggies for added flavor.
• If cooking cuts of meat on their own, always make sure to allow a "rest"
period by taking the meat out of the pressure cooker. Place it on a cutting
board to rest for 5–10 minutes before cutting. This allows the meat to
redistribute and retain its delicious juices.
• Make sure that meat and vegetables are of uniform size when cooking in
the pressure cooker. This will allow for more even cooking.
• Liquid evaporates while in the pressure cooker, so always make sure
there's enough liquid in the pressure cooker to ensure food does not burn
or get stuck to the bottom of the pressure cooker.
• Do not overfill the pot with liquid or food. Because the pressure cooker
uses steam to cook, it needs space to build up and circulate.
• Most vegetables cook very quickly on the steaming function
the chart in the steaming section to make sure they're not overcooked
and mushy.
• Add any thickeners (such as flour or corn starch) after pressure cooking
has finished. It takes your meal longer to cook when they are added at
the beginning.
• Use the browning function
is a great way to brown meats and veggies
at the end of cooking a sauce to thicken it.
