6. If the pressure drops and little or no steam comes out of the pressure valve,
raise the burner heat just until a gentle, steady stream of steam is released
and can be maintained.
7. While cooking, never inadvertently shake the pressure cooker. This can
cause the automatic valve to release steam, which will create a drop in
pressure.
NOTE TO ELECTRIC STOVE USERS
Since the coils on an electric stove retain heat for a long time, food often becomes
overcooked when the burner is turned down for simmering (when cooking time is
started). To compensate for that, we recommend using the Two-Burner Method:
Turn on one burner to medium heat and bring your cooker to pressure. Turn on
the second burner to low so that once pressure has been achieved and steam
starts to come out of the operating valve on your cooker you can carefully move
the pressure cooker with oven mittens to the low burner and start the pressure
cooking time. You can then turn off the burner with the medium heat. Make sure
you don't lower the heat too much on the low burner; there should always be a
steady steam of steam coming out of the pressure valve when cooking. If there is
no more steam coming out of the operating valve and/ or the pressure indicator
drops, raise the heat until steam starts coming out of the operating valve, and
adjust the cooking time by 1 or 2 minutes.
Once there is pressure inside the pressure cooker the heat indicator will show a
white ring, which means the pressure cooker is under working state and cannot
be opened. It will be visible while cooking. If you see the RED ring during the
cooking process it means the heat is too high inside the pressure cooker and it
should be removed to cool down. Only proceed with cooking after checking the
pressure valve for food particles and make sure the gasket is secured in place.
Releasing Pressure After Cooking
Always check your recipe to determine if the pressure cooker should be cooled
down naturally, or whether the quick release method should be used. The Fagor
Twirlock Pressure Cooker also features an automatic release position on the pres-
sure valve that can be used for releasing pressure automatically when cooking
foods such as stews, meats, poultry, soups. Do not use for vegetables or tender
foods as this will result in overcooking. You can choose one of the following 3
methods to release the pressure.
1. Natural Release Method: To use this method, remove the pressure cooker
from the hot burner and let the pressure drop and cool down naturally.
Depending on the amount of food and liquid in the cooker, this method
can take from 10-15 minutes. Once pressure has totally been released, the
pressure indicator has dropped and there isn't any more steam coming out
of the operating valve, go to # 4 in this section.
