Preparing frozen foods
Frozen foods can be very easily prepared in the pressure cooker.
• Meat: Thaw a bit before browning.
• Foods without sauce: Place in the cooker in the perforated inset.
• Foods with sauce: Place in the cooker in the unperforated inset.
• Place at least 200-300 ml of liquid (see “min“ marking) in the pressure cooker.
• Close the cooker.
• Build the pressure and regulate the required cooking setting. (See Chapter 6)
Preserving
The pressure cooker can also be used for preserving foods. Depending on the size of the preserving jars, you should
use the 4.5 l model or larger.
• When preserving, only use raw ingredients that are in good condition!
• Fill the jars up to about one finger’s breadth under the edge and close them.
• Place at least 200-300 ml of liquid (see “min“ marking) in the pressure cooker.
• Place the preserving jars in the cooker in the perforated inset.
• Close the cooker.
• Build the pressure and regulate the required cooking setting. (See Chapter 6)
Preserving times:
Marmelade Setting 1 1-2 min.
Fruits/pickled vegetables Setting 1 8-10 min.
Do not depressurize the cooker quickly, but let it cool off slowly, otherwise the jars could burst!
Extracting juice
Both the perforated and the unperforated insets are needed for extracting juice from small amounts of fruit.
• Prepare the fruit.
• Add at least 200-300 ml of liquid (see “min“ marking) to the pressure cooker.
• Place the fruit in the perforated inset.
• Put the perforated inset on the unperforated inset, and put this in the cooker.
• Close the cooker.
• Build the pressure and control at cooking setting 2 (second white ring). (See Chapter 6)
Juice extraction times:
Berries Setting 2 12 min.
Fruits with pits Setting 2 18 min.
Fruits with cores Setting 2 25 min.
Do not depressurize the cooker quickly, but let it cool off slowly.
