Spattering occurs when steam is released.
• Cooking Pot may be overfilled. Fill no more than 2/3 full, or
1/2 full for foods that expand, such as rice and beans.
• If spattering occurs, wear an oven mitt to protect hand and
release pressure in short bursts or allow to natural release.
Cooker takes too long to come to pressure.
• Amount of time to bring to pressure depends on amount of
liquid and food in Cooking Pot. Starting temperature of food
may also extend time.
Food is not done.
• More cooking time is needed. Reset cooking mode and adjust
for additional time, or set Cooker to BROWN/SAUTÉ and allow
food to simmer longer.
• If LOW pressure was used, try using HIGH pressure next time.
• Make sure there is enough liquid to create steam and build
pressure. A minimum of 1 cup (237 ml) liquid is recommended.
Food is overdone.
• Make sure the proper pressure and cooking time was selected.
• Reduce cooking time or select LOW pressure.
