3. Heat on high until the pressure indicator valve rises and steam begins to escape steadily from the pressure regulator. A small amount of condensation may appear around the handle during initial heating until full pressure is reached.
4. Once full pressure is reached, reduce the heat to the lowest setting that maintains pressure. Begin timing your recipe.

4.4 AlliberamentasinPressió g

Hi ha dos mètodes principals per alliberarasinpressió g:

• Alliberament natural: Remove the pressure cooker from the heat source and allow it to cool down naturally. The pressure indicator will drop on its own. This method is ideal for foods that benefit from additional cooking time, such as stews and roasts.
• Llançament ràpid: For foods that require precise cooking times or to stop cooking quickly, carefully turn the pressure regulating valve to the steam release position. Steam will escape rapidly. Once the pressure indicator drops, all pressure has been released. Extremeu les precaucions per evitar cremades per vapor.

The sealing gasket can be removed for cleaning and should be washed with warm soapy water, rinsed, and dried before reinstallation.
