INTRODUCTION TO
PRESSURE COOKING
What is pressure cooking?
Pressure cooking is a method of cooking that uses a closed pressurized system to reach high
temperatures. When heat is applied to a pressure cooker, a specially designed lid contains and
regulates steam build-up from the heated liquid to steadily increase the pressure within the pot.
This increase in pressure allows liquid temperature levels to reach above boiling (212˚ F), which
is not possible with other cooking methods. These high temperature levels result in much faster
and more ef cient cooking.
Why use a pressure cooker?
Since pressure cooking uses high temperatures to cook food, it can reduce cooking time by
as much as 70%. Less cooking time means less energy used, making it a very eco-friendly
cooking method. Pressure cooking also locks-in more nutrients and fl avors that are sometimes
lost due to evaporation in other cooking methods. Pressure cooking is one of the fastest,
healthiest and most effi cient ways to prepare food.

PRESSURE COOKING TIMES
There is no need to defrost frozen food before pressure cooking, just add a few
minutes to the suggested cooking time.
When referencing recipes for traditional cooking methods, reduce suggested cook
times by approximately
2
3 if using pressure setting “2” or
½ if using pressure
setting “1.
DO NOT pressure cook applesauce, cranberries, pearl barley, rhubarb, oatmeal
or other cereals, pastas, noodles, macaroni, spaghetti, dried soup mixes, certain
dry beans or split peas. These foods expand greatly under pressure and are likely
to cause blockage to the pressure control valves.
Always fi ll the pressure cooker with liquid and all ingredients between the “MIN 1/3
and “MAX 2/3” markings inside the Pressure Cooker Pot. If cooking foods that
expand, foam and froth during cooking such as rice, grains, dry beans, peas or
liquid-based food like soup, DO NOT ll the pot up more than half way with liquid
and ingredients.
