VITASUNHOW PRESSURE COOKERS The smart choice for preparing today’s lower calorie foods. A pressure cooker is a sealed chamber that traps the steam generated as its contents are heated. As steam builds, pressure increases, driving the boiling point of water past 212°F. In general, this higher temperature shortens cooking times and, due to a lack of evaporation, extracts flavor more efficiently from foods SADETY FEATURES: Air Vent / Cover Lock: Safety features that make it impossible to open the appliance until the pressure has been released. Safety Lock Handles: When the handle closing cap is not properly in place, the upper pressure valve cannot be raised and the pressure cooker is not pressed to ensure the safety of the closed cap. Alarm Valve & Safety Valve: It serves as a double protection that ensures the safety of use. It prevents excess pressure to build up. Vent Pipe Filter: It improves the anti-blocking performance of the pressure cooker. Safety Lid Window: It serves as an effective prevention for safety accidents caused by excessive pressure in the pot. When the pressure in the pot exceed the pressure relief pressure, the air tight ring will be squeezed out of the safety window. Suitable For: Gas Stovetop, Electric Stovetop, flat top stoves, Halogen Stoves. Liquid matters Pressure cookers cook with steam. No liquid = no steam. You can’t and shouldn’t use your pressure cooker unless you’ve added sufficient liquid. Instructions will let you know the minimum amount and some even tell you how much to use for different items. If you’re using a conventional recipe you can often reduce liquid content that would otherwise have evaporated but don’t go below the recommended amount. Lock and Unlock icons allow you to easily open and close the lid. The small triangle on the cover is only a mark showing that this triangle should be aligned with the triangle on the handle, then turn the cover, it will be perfectly closed. This triangle is easily to be seen so that it takes much convenience when people close the cover. Making sure the valves are free from debris is key too. It’s important to keep your pressure cooker clean and in good working order. Replacements for worn out parts are usually readily available from suppliers. For example you might find yourself needing to replace the rubber gasket that ensures a good seal. Making sure the valves are free from debris is key too. Releasing the pressure Never force the lid open, modern cookers have a safety feature which stops you opening the lid, don’t tamper with this to get the pot open or you may get burnt. If you’re in a hurry, run the cooker under the cold tap, until the pressure indicator drops and the lid comes off easily.

HOW TO USE: 1.Place the food and the required quantity of liquid in the pressure cooker. Maximum filling levels: a. solid food e.g. Vegetables, meat, fish: not more than 3/4 capacity. b. ceresls e.g. rice: not more than 2/3 capacity. c. liquids e.g. soups, water: not more than 1/2capacity. 2. Place the gasket in the cover; be sure it is fitted on side slot. 3. Grad the handle with your both hands. put the pressure cooker on top of the gas stove. turn fire into medium high,fire should not be coming out of the edge of the pressure cooker. 4. While cooking, a small amount of steam will escape from the weight regulator and locking indicator hole.The locking indicator will up and the cover will lock automatically. Once the pressure indicator and the safety valve go up , the weight regulator will also go up and turn around. A steady flow of steam will begin to escape, which indicates that it is in state of accumulating pressure. Lower the heat and start the timer. NOTE: The weight regulator will turn around and stop after a few seconds and will turn around again (this cycle will continue until cooking required meets) 5. Once the required time is reached, turn OFF the fire, Tilt the weight regulator, to release the pressure inside. if the pressure indicator and the locking indicator are back to its proper position(down) it means , the pressure han been released. In case the pressure clogs. Try the following: a. Bring the pressure cooker to the faucet, allow the water to flow in the cover until pressure indicator drops. b. Using a spoon ,push the gasket on the side hole of the cover until pressure released. 6. To open: hold the lower handle with left hand and upper handle with right hand. Slightly turn upper handle to the right until 2 arrow marks from the pressure cooker body and cover meets.Lift the cover to open. Pressure cooking preserves flavors and nutrients, and even tenderizes lean cuts of meat. Pressure cookers are designed to make short work of slow cook dishes. They're economical both in the amount of power they use and are also ideal for tenderising cuts of meat. They can reduce cooking times by up to 50% and retain nutrients well, making them a healthy cooking method.
