    • Close the lid by rotating the handle until it locks securely.
    • Place the pressure regulator (whistle) on the vent pipe.

    • Once cooled and pressure has fully dropped, open the lid. This test helps you understand the cooker's operation and ensures all parts are functioning correctly.

Пайдалану нұсқаулары

  1. Ингредиенттерді дайындаңыз: Place your food and the required amount of liquid into the pressure cooker. Ensure the liquid level is at least 1 cup (250ml) for proper pressure generation. Do not exceed the maximum fill lines (two-thirds full for most foods, half full for expanding foods).
  2. Қақпақты жабыңыз: Place the lid on the cooker, aligning the arrow on the lid with the arrow on the body handle. Rotate the lid handle clockwise until it is firmly closed and locked. The inside-fitting lid design ensures it cannot be opened under pressure.
  3. Place Pressure Regulator: Position the pressure regulator (whistle) securely on the vent pipe.
  4. Жылуды қолдану: Place the cooker on a stove over medium-high heat.
  5. Қысымның жоғарылауы: Steam will begin to escape from the vent pipe. After a few minutes, the pressure regulator will start to whistle, indicating that full pressure has been reached.
  6. Пісіру уақыты: Once the regulator begins to whistle, reduce the heat to maintain a steady, gentle whistle. Cook for the time specified in your recipe.
  7. Шығару қысымы: After cooking, remove the cooker from the heat. There are two methods for pressure release:
    • Табиғи босату: Allow the cooker to cool down naturally until all pressure has dissipated. This is recommended for foods that benefit from continued cooking or for frothy foods. The lid will only open when pressure has completely dropped.
    • Quick Release (under cold water): For faster pressure release, carefully place the cooker under cold running water, avoiding the pressure regulator and steam vent, until the pressure drops. This method is suitable for delicate foods that can overcook quickly.
  8. Қақпақты ашыңыз: Once all pressure has been released (the lid will open easily), carefully open the lid away from your face to avoid residual steam.
