PRESSURE COOKING RECIPES
Soups and Stews
This pressure cooker is perfect for preparing delicious soups and stews. Included are a few favorite recipes. If you have a favorite recipe of
your own, try it using one of the recipes in this book as your guide. If adding dry beans and peas, they rst must be soaked according to the
directions on page 20.
CAUTION! Do not pressure cook soups or soup mixes containing barley, rice, pasta, grains, or split peas because they have a tendency to
foam, froth, and sputter and could block the vent pipe. These foods should be added to the soup AFTER pressure cooking.
FOR SOUPS AND STEWS, DO NOT FILL COOKING POT OVER ½ FULL!

12. I believe I am thoroughly cleaning my cooker, but sometimes I notice the odor of my last meal remains in the cooker. What
can I do to remove the odor?
The sealing ring is made of silicone. Silicone has many wonderful properties but it does tend to retain odors. Unfortunately, there
is no good way to remove the odors, but over time they will dissipate.
13. I live at a high altitude and normally need to adjust my pressure cooking times. What adjustments should I make with this
pressure cooker?
No adjustments are needed. The temperature sensor automatically assures the correct temperature is maintained for precise
cooking no matter where you live.
