Sterilizing
Baby bottles or other items for use in the home (not for medical use) can be sterilized in the pressure cooker.
• Place at least 200-300 ml of liquid (see "min" marking) in the pressure cooker.
• Place the bottles with their opening pointed downward in the perforated inset.
• Close the cooker.
• Build the pressure and control at cooking setting 2 (second white ring), and sterilize for 20 minutes.
Do not depressurize the cooker quickly, but let it cool off slowly.
Cooking a whole meal
By using the insets, you can prepare several foods at the same time, one on top of the other.
Rules:
• Cook fish over vegetables.
• Cook vegetables over meat.
• Foods with similar cooking times should be placed in the cooker and cooked at the same time.
• For foods with different cooking times, first place the food with the longest cooking time in the cooker and start
cooking it. When the remaining cooking time of this food is the same as the cooking time of the other foods,
remove the cooker from the stove, depressurize and open it, add the other foods, and then finish cooking.
• Since some steam will escape when the cooker is opened, at least 300 ml of liquid should be added to begin with.
Example:
Beef roulades (20 min.) with boiled potatoes (8 min.)
First place the roulades in the cooker and cook them at Setting 2 for 12 minutes. Then remove the cooker from the
burner, depressurize it, open the cooker, and place the potatoes in the cooker in the perforated inset over the roula-
des by using the tripod. Close the cooker, build pressure, and cook at Setting 2 for an additional 8 minutes.

9. Cooking times

The cooking times shown here should serve as guidelines and are calculated on the basis of approximately 2-3
portions.
Basic rules:
- The cooking time at Setting 2 is about ½ to ⅓ of the normal cooking time.
- The cooking time at Setting 1 is about 50% longer than at Setting 2.
- Cooking times for the same food can vary, depending on the amount, shape, size and consistency.
- The smaller the pieces of food, the shorter the cooking time will be.
- The greater the total amount of food, the longer the cooking time
Example:
Jacket potatoes (whole), approx. 12 minutes; boiled potatoes (cut in half or quarters), about 8 minutes
Use the cooking times given here to work out your own personal times.
If you are not certain about a cooking time, cook the food for a shorter period to begin with. You can always conti-
nue cooking it.
