Your pressure cooker cooks using pressure. Improper use may result
in scalding injuries. Make sure the pressure cooker is properly closed
before use. (See "Closing" section).
During cooking, check that the valve murmurs regularly. If there is
not enough steam being released, release the pressure and open the
lid then check that there is sufficient liquid, and check that the steam
release valve is not blocked. If there is still not enough steam being
released valve, increase the heat source slightly.
Do not cook food that could block the vents of the safety
components:
- blueberries, cranberries
- pearl barley, spelt, millet

When cooking large pieces of meat and food with a surface skin
BEFORE
layer (whole sausages, tongue, poultry, etc.) : we recommend that
AND
you prick the skin using a knife or fork before cooking. During
cooking, boiling liquid could become trapped under the skin and
DURING
create spatters.
COOKING
Never use your pressure cooker to cook milk-based recipes (such as
rice pudding, semolina pudding...).
Never use coarse salt in your pressure cooker, only use fine salt at the
end of cooking. That way you will avoid the appearance of "pitting",
which could damage the base of your pressure cooker.
Never use your pressure cooker to fry under pressure using oil.
Do not leave your pressure cooker unsupervised when heating oil
or fats. Continuing to heat a smoking oil will degrade it and may
increase the temperature of the oil enough for flames to appear.
Do not use your pressure cooker for any other purpose than the one
it is meant for.
Do not put your pressure cooker in a hot oven.
Never use aluminium foil unsecured on a container in your pressure
cooker. Always secure with string.
Never use cling film in your pressure cooker.
Alcohol vapours are flammable. Bring to the boil for approximately
2 minutes before putting the lid on. Check your pressure cooker on a
regular basis when cooking alcohol-based recipes.
