10.6 Completed Pressure Reduction
Pressure reduction tips for specific foods:
Foods with a short cooking time:
Use fast pressure reduction as otherwise foods can become overcooked.
Vegetables with a long cooking time / soups / meats, completely
covered by liquid / potatoes / cereals / dried pulses:
Use slow pressure reduction. Do not use water to cool!
(Potatoes could otherwise fall apart)
Meat / vegetables / frozen vegetables / fresh fruits /
dried foods (excluding pulses):
Use normal or fast pressure reduction (for ready-prepared meals,
allow the pressure cooker to stand beside the heat source for one
minute before reducing pressure).
Fish / risotto:
Use fast pressure reduction.
Foods with a high fat content or mash-type foods (e.g. dried pulses):
Use slow pressure reduction and gently shake the cooker before opening
the lid to prevent the contents from spitting when the lid is opened.
After cooking meat with a skin (e.g. ox tongue) which may swell under
the effect of pressure, do not prick the meat while the skin is swollen
as you might be scalded.
There is no more pressure in the cooker
when the pressure indicator stem remains
in its lowest position. To open the cooker,
slide the handle or grip anti-clockwise in
relation to the pan handle or grip until the
arrows are once again aligned. The lid can
now be easily removed.
