Trial Run
Even if you have used a pressure cooker previously, take a trial
run before cooking in your Hawkins Ventura. This section will take
you step-by-step through your trial run in about 30 minutes.
1. Preliminary Steps
Remove label and wash cooker, removing any adhesive with
baby or vegetable oil. Read pages 2 to 8. Identify parts. Remove
and place the pressure regulator on the steam vent, the gasket on the
lid curl. Close and open the
pressure cooker a few times.
2. Placing Cooker on Stove
Pour 2 cups water in cooker
body. Add 1 teaspoon (5 ml)
lemon juice or vinegar to
prevent discolouring the cooker.
Remove pressure regulator from
steam vent. Look through steam
vent and ensure it is clear.
Tap the air ventile from
underneath the lid to make
sure it moves freely.
Check and adjust the seating
of the gasket on the lid
curl by patting down snugly.
Place the pressure regulator on the steam vent and press down
firmly. A click indicates that the pressure regulator is in position.
Close cooker. Place cooker on high heat.
3. Ensuring a Steam-tight Seal
When water boils, hot air and/or steam should issue only from
the air ventile. If steam comes out around the edge of the lid, check
the centralization of the lid thus: unlatch and reposition the lid by
moving the lid slightly towards the spot where steam is escaping
and relatch. DO NOT TOUCH LID with bare hands since it will be hot.
4. Building Up to Full Operating Pressure
While hot air is expelled the air ventile taps as it moves up
and down until it lifts automatically and seals the cooker. In about
2 minutes, the cooker should come to full operating pressure.
