5.1. Preparing for Cooking
- Přidejte ingredience: Place your food and the required amount of liquid into the pressure cooker. Ensure the liquid level is at least 1 cup (250ml) unless specified otherwise in a recipe. Do not exceed the maximum fill lines (2/3 full for most foods, 1/2 full for expanding foods).
- Zajistěte víko: Align the lid with the cooker body and close it according to the markings, ensuring the safety locking handle engages properly. The visual pressure indicator should be in its lowest position.
- Zdroj tepla: Place the pressure cooker on a suitable hob. The stainless steel base makes it compatible with all hob types, including induction, gas, ceramic, radiant ring, solid plate, and halogen. For induction hobs, ensure the cooker is centered on a zone of appropriate size.
5.2. Bringing to Pressure and Cooking
- Aplikujte teplo: Turn the heat to high. Steam will begin to escape from the pressure regulator.
- Nárůst tlaku: Once a steady stream of steam is released, the pressure indicator will rise, and the pressure regulator will begin to jiggle or hiss, indicating that full pressure (15 lbs) has been reached.
- Snižte teplo: Immediately reduce the heat to the lowest setting that maintains a steady pressure.
- Doba vaření: Begin timing your recipe. Refer to the cooking guide provided with your pressure cooker for recommended cooking times for various ingredients.
5.3. Releasing Tlak a otevření hrnce
Existují dvě hlavní metody pro uvolněníasing-tlak:
- Přirozené uvolňování: Remove the cooker from the heat source and allow it to cool down naturally. The pressure will gradually decrease, and the pressure indicator will drop. This method is ideal for foods that benefit from continued cooking, such as stews and roasts.
- Rychlé vydání: For foods that require precise cooking times or to stop cooking quickly, you can use the quick release method. Carefully move the pressure regulator to release steam. Pozor: A strong jet of steam will be released. Keep hands and face away from the steam vent. Do not use quick release for foamy foods (e.g., pasta, oatmeal) or foods that expand significantly.
Opening the Cooker: Only open the cooker once the pressure indicator has fully dropped and no steam is escaping. Unlock the lid and carefully open it away from your face to avoid any residual steam.
6. Údržba a čištění
Správná údržba zajistí dlouhou životnost a bezpečný provoz vašeho tlakového hrnce.
