Cooking With The Ucook Pressure Cooker Set; Getting Started - Fagor uCOOK Manual De Usuario

10. Safety valve: Located under the lid han-
dle. Safety valve is activated in case of an
excess pressure build up.
11. Thermo Heat Conductive Base: Since
the objective of a pressure
is rapid cooking, the bottom of the
pressure cooker pot has a thermo heat
conductive base comprised of three
layers of metal. Aluminum, one of the
fastest heat conductors, is
ched between two sheets of stainless
steel, which makes contact with the
burner and does not contain any mag-
netic elements. This allows for induction
cooking.
12. Pressure Indicator: Indicates whether
there is pressure inside the cooker.
If the pressure indicator is rai-
sed, there is pressure inside the
cooker and the pressure cooker
cannot be opened . If the pressure
indicator is not raised, there is no
pressure inside the cooker .
13. Stainless Steel Steamer Basket: The
uCook Pressure Cooker Set also comes
with a stainless steel steamer basket. It
is used for steaming foods under pres-
sure without placing them directly in the
cooking liquid. The steamer basket rests
on the inner ridge of the 6 qt pressure
cooker pot for easy steaming and also
doubles as a handy food grater!
14. Pasta Basket: The stainless steel Pasta
Basket is used along with the glass lid
and the 6 qt pressure cooker pot to
convert the pressure cooker into an
6
everyday pasta pot when not being used
for pressure cooking.
15. Glass Lid: Fits both Pressure Cooker
Pots. Converts the 4qt into a simple
saucepan and the 6qt pot into a basic
stockpot.

Getting started

1. When using the cooker for the first time,
sandwi-
wash all the parts and components with
warm water and mild dish washing soap.
Rinse well and towel dry. Never place
any of the parts or components in the
dishwasher.
2. Always remove the silicone gasket when
washing the lid. Wash the gasket with
warm, soapy water; rinse well and towel
dry. Cover with a thin coat of cooking oil
(i.e. vegetable, olive, canola, etc) Follow
this procedure every time you wash the
pressure cooker in order to extend the
life of the gasket and to facilitate locking
the lid in place.
3. Use the operating valve to select one
of the two levels of pressure you will
be using during the pressure cooking
time. When using the cooker for the
first time, the operating valve is placed
on the high level of pressure – Level 2.
To open the pressure cooker, pull the
pressure lock towards you and move
the lid handle to the right holding the
base handle with your left hand. (fig 4)
