5.2 Koken onder druk
- Place the sealed pressure cooker on your chosen stovetop over medium-high heat.
- As pressure builds, steam will begin to escape from the pressure release valve, and the red safety device will rise. This indicates that the cooker is pressurized.
- Once the desired pressure is reached (indicated by the steady release of steam or a specific pressure indicator sound, if applicable), reduce the heat to maintain a consistent pressure without excessive steam release.
- Kook gedurende de aanbevolen tijd volgens uw recept.

- Snelle release: For foods that require precise cooking times, you can carefully release pressure by turning the pressure release valve. Be cautious of hot steam. Only use quick release for recipes that specifically call for it.
Belangrijk: Never attempt to open the lid until the red safety device has fully dropped, indicating that all internal pressure has been released. Once the indicator is down, rotate the lid counter-clockwise to open.
