Using the timer
• NutriCook is not an ordinary pressure cooker,
for TEFAL has innovated how best to preserve the
food's nutritional qualities and especially how to
bring out the full taste of every dish prepared.
• Every cooking programme includes a soft steam
phase while finishing cooking, to bring out the
taste in the food. Fast and powerful when starting
cooking, the steam becomes mild and moderate
towards the end.
• The two cooking phases, limit the possibility of
overcooking, to ensure perfect cooking with the
best taste and texture, plus the optimum
preservation of nutrients and vitamins.
• To make it easier to use your NutriCook, the timer
is there to help and guide you through your
recipes.
Fitting and removing the timer
• To fit the timer (C) Fig. 7, first insert the rear
part, then clip down the front part.
• To remove the timer (C), press the tab and lift
it.
Cooking always takes place in two phases:
• The duration of the first pressure phase is directly
linked to the chosen recipe or the kind of
ingredients to be cooked, and this is the time you
need to programme on the timer using the – and
+ buttons.
• The second soft cooking phase is pre-
programmed into the timer and follows on
automatically. All you have to do is follow the
guide below on page 47.
• You can switch the timer off at any time by
pressing simultaneously on both buttons.
• During cooking you can change the cooking time
only if the timer is positioned on the NutriCook.
During the soft steam phase, you cannot modify
the cooking time.

Never open your
NutriCook before the end
of the soft cooking phase,
as you could stop the
cooking process before
the ingredients are fully
cooked. Refer to the "End
of cooking" heading.
