Petunjuk Pengoperasian
Ikuti langkah-langkah berikut untuk memasak dengan panci presto yang aman dan efektif:
- Tambahkan Bahan: Place food and the required amount of liquid into the pressure cooker. Do not overfill; typically, the cooker should not be more than two-thirds full for most foods, and half full for foods that expand, such as beans or grains.
- Amankan Tutupnya: Place the lid on the pot, aligning the handles. Rotate the lid clockwise until the handles are aligned and the lid is securely locked. The cover lock indicator should be in the down position.
- Penerapan Panas: Place the cooker on a burner over high heat. The air vent/cover lock will rise, indicating pressure is building. Once the pressure regulator begins to rock gently, reduce the heat to maintain a slow, steady rocking motion.
- Waktu Memasak: Begin timing your recipe once the pressure regulator starts rocking.
- Pelepasan Tekanan: Once cooking is complete, remove the cooker from heat. Allow pressure to reduce naturally, or use the quick cold water release method by running cold water over the rim of the lid (avoiding the pressure regulator) until the cover lock indicator drops.
- Buka Kompor: Once the cover lock indicator has dropped completely, indicating no pressure inside, twist the lid counter-clockwise to open. Always open the lid away from your face to avoid steam burns.
