lid and all its components. Always
remove the gasket when washing
the lid. Wash the gasket with warm,
soapy water; rinse well and towel dry.

Follow this procedure every time you
wash the pressure cooker in order to
extend the life of the gasket and to
facilitate locking the lid in place.

Cooker it is very important to use at
least a 1/2 cup of liquid. NEVER USE
LESS. Do not fill the pressure cooker
more than 2/3 full with liquid and food.
WARNING: There is a risk of burns
from excess of steam if the pressure
cooker is overfilled. Please follow
instructions carefully.
2. When called for in the instructions or in
your recipe, place food in the steamer
basket, and position it on the trivet
inside of the pressure cooker.
3. Fill only halfway when cooking foods
that will either expand in size and/or
produce foam as they cook, such
as dried beans, or other legumes
and grains. Fill only halfway when
preparing soups or stock.
