Procés de cocció
- Place the pressure cooker on the stovetop and heat on the highest energy level.
- Steam will escape from under the lid handle for a few minutes. This is normal and indicates oxygen is being released.
- Once steam release stops, pressure begins to build. The cooking indicator will rise, showing two white rings for different cooking settings.
- First ring: Gentle cooking (approx. 107 °C) for delicate dishes like fish or vegetables.
- Second ring: Express cooking (approx. 115 °C) for stews or meat.
- Adjust the stovetop heat when your desired cooking setting (white ring) is reached. If the indicator continues to rise after the second white ring appears, reduce the heat.
- Cooking times vary based on ingredients. Refer to recipes for specific timings.
Alliberament de pressió
After cooking, there are different options to release the steam:
- Opció 1 (alliberament ràpid): Press the button on the lid handle lightly. Continue pressing until the cooking indicator has completely lowered and no more steam escapes.
- Option 2 (Natural Release/Energy Saving): Use the residual heat by removing the pressure cooker from the stovetop shortly before the end of cooking time. Then press the button to release any remaining steam.
