Follow your recipe regarding how much liquid to add. NEVER use less than ½ cup liquid. If the approximate cooking time
is more than 10 minutes, use 2 cups of liquid.
Over- filling the pressure cooker base may cause a risk of clogging the vent pipe and developing excess pressure.
Excess steam may cause burns if the pressure cooker is overfilled.
Secure t he Lid
Make sure the silicone gasket is positioned around the underside of the lid. Center the lid on the base and press the
One Button Lock to attach the two pieces together. (Note: The lid does not need to thread into place or be positioned
using a certain orientation to attach securely.)
Never use the pressure cooker without the gasket in place. If the gasket is worn or damaged and does not create a
proper seal between the lid and the base, replace it. Contact Calphalon Customer Service at 1- 800- 809-7267 or visit
www.calphalon.com to purchase a replacement gasket.
Butter or Oil
Use the ‘butter test’ to determine whether your pan is hot enough for sautéing. Simply wipe a dab of butter on the bottom
of the pan. If it bubbles briskly without burning, your pan is perfectly preheated.
Allow the oil or butter to heat for a minute before adding food to the pan.
