Reduce time spent in the kitchen preparing meals with the help
of this 6-quart electric pressure cooker--it cuts cooking times
up to 70-percent when compared to traditional stovetop cooking
methods. The unit traps steam inside, which builds up pressure to
create hotter temperatures, and its tight seal locks in heat,
moisture, and flavor, as well as s and minerals for
exceptionally y, great-tasting meals like soup, chili, and
other one-dish entrees. It also works well for cheesecake and
custard, because dessert should never be left off the menu. The
unit's push-button controls and easy-to-read digital display
eliminate guesswork, while its precision digital thermostat
regulates temperatures. Choose from preprogrammed settings for
high- or low-pressure cooking, browning, simmering, sauteing, and
warming. For safety, the cooker must be fully locked for pressure
to build, and it will remain locked until the pressure inside
drops to zero. Other highlights include a 99-minute timer with an
LED countdown display, cool-touch side handles, and a nonstick
cooking pot that cleans up easily by hand or in the dishwasher. A
dishwasher-safe trivet also comes included. Housed in brushed
stainless steel, the 1000-watt pressure cooker measures 12-1/5 by
12-1/5 by 13-1/5 inches and carries a three-year limited
warranty.

Pressure Cooker Settings
------------------------
• Low Pressure
• High Pressure
• Browning – This preset temperature allows cooking over high
heat, without the lid, before pressure cooking. Browning foods in
a small a of in this way seals the outer surfaces of
meats and vegetables, producing a visually appealing, flavorful
exterior with a moist, tender interior.
• Sauté – The preset temperature, done prior to pressure cooking
with lid removed, allows you to quickly soften vegetables in a
small a of or liquid without browning, and to cook items
such as rice (Arborio, brown, Carnaroli, white, etc.) for pilafs
and risottos.
• Simmer – This preset temperature allows you to cook liquids at
a lower temperature. It is primarily used to finish cooking some
items, i.e. to add ingredients to a risotto, sauce, or stew or to
continue cooking process to achieve preferred texture.
• Keep Warm – Holds and keeps cooked food warm for up to 12
hours. Automatic Keep Warm Feature: When LED display reaches, the
pressure cooker automatically shifts to Keep Warm temperature.
The Keep Warm light will turn on and unit will beep to indicate
cooking is complete.

Recipe Tips and Hints
---------------------
• Many family favorites can be easily adapted for preparation in
your Cuisinart Electric Pressure Cooker – soups, stews, side
dishes and more.
• The a of liquid needed is much less than for traditional
cooking methods.
• Never exceed the Maximum Fill A of the pressure cooker.
• Make sure the lid is on firmly and tightly, and moved as far
counterclockwise as it will go to allow proper locking.
• Hot foods/liquids will come to pressure more quickly than cold
foods/liquids.
• When pressure cooking is completed, follow recipe instructions
for releasing pressure. For Quick Pressure Release it is
important to begin immediately upon completion of pressure
cooking; otherwise foods will continue to cook, and may overcook.
• Do not store pressure cooker with lid on tightly. This saves
on ket wear and tear.
• More ents are preserved during pressure cooking than with
traditional cooking methods, as less liquid is used and thus
fewer ents are lost to evaporation.
• To adapt your own recipes, find a similar one in our cookbook
and use it as a guide. In general, cooking time will be at least
1⁄3 to . of the traditional cooking time. Reduce your cooking
liquid by at least half – you may need to "play" with your recipe
to get it right. You may wish to add vegetables at the end of
cooking to avoid overcooking. You can also use the cooking charts
provided as a guide.
