All our pressure cookers come with safety valve and gasket release system for enhanced protection. Don't overfill the cooker. Use enough water. Once food is cooked and it's time to open the lid, release pressure slowly. Clean the cooker properly.

Place the pressure cooker on the stove and bring the water to a boil over high heat. As the water boils, steam is produced. Lower the burner heat to simmer. The pressure cooker is now cooking under pressure, which is when you start to clock the cooking time.
