2. Release the steam
See figure U
You can use the safety slide to release steam. To do
so, move the safety slide to the left to the “open”
position. Steam will stream out to the side from
under the lid handle and over the lid. When there
is no more steam escaping, close the safety slide and
shake the cooker. Then move the safety slide to the
left to the “open” position, so that the remain-
ing steam can escape. Repeat these steps until no
there is no steam escaping and the safety slide can
be easily moved to the “open” position . Then
open the cooker.
3. Set the cooker aside and let cool
With this method, it takes quite a while for the tem-
perature to be sufficiently reduced. It should thus
not be used for food that are prepared with short
cooking times such as fish or vegetables. For other
food, such as pea soup, etc., it is not that important
whether it is cooked a little longer.
When the pressure indicator is no longer visible,
shake the cooker gently, then move the safety slide
to the left to the “open” position. When there is
no more steam escaping, close the safety slide and
shake the cooker. Then move the safety slide to the
left to the “open” position, so that the remain-
ing steam can escape. Repeat these steps until there
is no steam escaping and the safety slide can be eas-
ily moved to the “open” position. Then open the
cooker.
Opening the cooker during cooking
If you wish to open the cooker during cooking, you
must first release the pressure as described above.
Please note that the lid is hot! Proceed with special
care when opening and closing the lid. Only touch
the side and lid handles, to avoid burning yourself.
When the cooker is opened during cooking, the
cooking process is obviously interrupted. Adjust
the overall cooking time accordingly.
Caution:
Do not depressurise the cooker with the steam
release method, if it contains soup, legumes,
stews, tongue or similar food, which tends to
swell or froth. Never cook apple sauce or stewed
fruit in the pressure cooker as there is a serious
risk of scalding!
