PROBLEM:
Steam is escaping around the edge of the lid.
REASON:
1. The pressure cooker is too full.
2. The pressure cooker was not closed
properly.
3. The rubber gasket is not in place, or is
dirty or worn.
SOLUTION:
1. Never fill the pressure cooker more than
half or 2/3 full, depending on the type of
food being prepared.
2. Following the instructions given in this
manual, close the pressure cooker so
that a tight seal is created which will
allow for adequate pressure build-up.
3. Make sure the gasket is clean and well
positioned before using the pressure
cooker. After continued use, the gasket
will begin to wear and should be replaced
after at least once a year if the pressure
cooker is used frequently.
PROBLEM:
The pressure cooker cannot be opened
after cooking.
REASON:
1. There is still built-up pressure in the
pressure cooker.
SOLUTION:
1. Use the quick release method to release any
remaining pressure. Try opening again.
PROBLEM:
Foods are under-cooked.
REASON:
1. Cooking time is too short.
2. Quick release method was used to
release the pressure.
SOLUTION:
1. Always check the cooking time in your
recipe. If still under-cooked, extend cooking
time by approx. 1 to 2 minutes and cook
under pressure, or simmer without lid and
pressure under desired texture is achieved.
2. Use natural release method so that food
has benefit of additional cooking time as
pressure drops.
PROBLEM:
Food is overcooked.
SOLUTION:
1. Always check the cooking times in your
recipe. If food is overcooked, shorten the
cooking time by at least 1 to 2 minutes.
2. Use quick release method so that pressure
drops immediately.
