How to use the pressure cooker

The use of the pressure cooker has the following main points:

1, check before use

The first time you use the pressure cooker must first carefully check its product manual, each time before use should be carefully check whether the pressure valve vent is smooth (can be cleared with a toothpick), and to keep the anti-blocking cover in a clean state. After use, we should pay attention to the cleaning inside the pot to prevent the exhaust hole from being blocked.

2. Don't overfill the pot with food

Generally speaking, the total amount of food and water should not exceed two-thirds of the height of the pot. For easy to expand the food (such as seaweed, corn, beans, etc.), should not exceed half the height of the pot. This is because the foam generated by the high pressure inside the pot is enough to block the center hole and the pressure limiting valve vent, which can easily cause safety accidents.

3, heating before the correct operation

Close the lid to the lid and the pot body of the lid mark, completely buckle, in place, do not overly force the trigger too much, generally hear a "click" on the pot cover is good, you can start heating. Before adding the pressure limiting valve, the same to check the pressure limiting valve on the vent, can be detected by blowing against the large hole with the mouth method. If the vent hole is found to be blocked, use a fine wire to poke it open before using it.

4, pay attention to control the fire

When using the pressure cooker steaming food, you can first heat with high heat, steam after switching to a small fire, remember not to burn slowly over high heat. After heating on the fire, the pressure valve began to work (pot of steam from the exhaust pipe issued a larger "hiss" sound), you can adjust the fire, so that the pressure valve to maintain a light "hiss" sound, until the end of cooking. This is not only safe, but also save time and energy consumption.

5, the exhaust pipe sound before you can open

In the venting pressure limit valve is bent on the exhaust pipe, the float will rise until the exhaust pipe sound before you can open. After cooking you can cool it naturally at room temperature, to consume it immediately you can use mandatory cooling methods, pouring or immersion in water to reduce the pressure.

After cooling is complete the pressure limit valve can be raised to allow the remaining gas to disperse, open the lid to see the exhaust venting in the absence of steam, the lid can be opened in a counterclockwise direction, floating did not fall off, often proving that the pressure in the pot is still present, the pneumatic chain device continues to play the role of the insurance effect and can not be opened the lid. Try not to force open the lid, apply chopsticks to the indicator valve downward press to make the pot of internal gas release, and then slowly open the lid is better.

6, do not leave the kitchen when using

In the pressure cooker should pay close attention to the process of safety, if people leave the kitchen for a long time, it is very easy to safety accidents. In the pressure cooker heating, can not open the lid in the middle of the pot, so as to avoid food spray out. Do not remove the weight or pressure regulator without checking its cooling, and wait for the pressure cooker to cool naturally or forcibly before opening the lid.
