Converting a personal recipe to pressure cooking
◆ Compared to conventional cooking, foods cooked under pressure will
generally be done in approximately 1/3 of the normal cooking time.
◆ The overall liquids called for in your personal non-pressure cooker
recipe, may need to be reduced. If too much liquid remains at the
end of the pressure cooking time, continue cooking. Plug the unit
into a 120V AC wall outlet. Turn the Variable Temperature/Pressure
Control to 6 - 7 and simmer uncovered to thicken.
◆ Use the charts and recipes provided in this book as a guide for
cooking times and liquids needed.
