Cooking with the Twirlock Pressure Cooker.

NOTE: FAGOR PRESSURE COOKERS ARE INTENDED FOR DOMESTIC

COOKING SURFACES FOR HOUSEHOLD USE ONLY

Before the First Use

To open the pressure cooker, put it on a flat surface and turn the turning handle

toward the direction the arrow marked on the handle (open). Before using the

pressure cooker for the first time, hand wash all the parts and components with

warm water and mild dishwashing soap. Rinse well and towel dry. The pressure

cooker pot is dishwasher safe. Always remove the gasket when washing the lid.

Wash the gasket with warm, soapy water; rinse well and towel dry. Cover the

gasket with a thin coat of cooking oil (e.g., 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.

Adding Food and Liquid

To cook with the Twirlock Pressure Cooker, it is very important to use at least

1/2 a cup of liquid if you're cooking for 10 minutes or less, or 2 cups of water

if you're cooking for more than 10 minutes; NEVER USE LESS. It is important

to always use some cooking liquid in a pressure cooker since it is the liquid

that creates the steam necessary to build the pressure. Without liquid the

pressure cooker cannot build any pressure. You can use water, broth, wine

or any other kind of liquid to cook, except oil. You can use oil to brown meat

or soften onions directly in your pressure cooker before adding the rest of

the ingredients, but the oil should never be the ONLY cooking liquid.

WARNING: Pressure cookers are NOT pressure fryers.

Never fill the pressure cooker past the "Max 2/3" line. It is necessary to

leave enough space in the cooker for it to be able to build pressure. Fill the

pressure cooker pot only halfway when cooking with foods that will either

expand in size and/ or produce foam as they cook, such as dried beans or

other legumes and grains. Also fill only halfway when preparing soups or

stock.

You can add food and liquid directly into the pressure cooker, or, optionally,

you can steam your food in the stainless steel steamer basket. To use the

stainless steel steamer basket, place the metal support trivet on the bottom

of the pressure cooker, add at least half a cup of liquid, and place the

steamer basket containing the food on top.
