help if this happens:
If the cover seems hard to close, press the palm of your hand on the cover area directly opposite the cover handle while
moving the cover handle to the closed position with your other hand.

from heating. Remove the cover and allow the pressure cooker body to cool slightly and try again. Do not place the
pressure cooker back on the burner until it is fully closed.
If necessary, to help make the cover easier to open and close, a very
light coating of cooking oil may be applied to the sealing ring and to the

liquid than desired?

How does one prevent overcooking?
Remember to begin timing as soon as the pressure regulator begins to rock gently. It is very important to accurately time
the cooking period. A Presto
kitchen timer is very helpful for this purpose. Also be sure to follow the recipe instructions
for cooling the pressure cooker.
What if the food is not completely done after the recommended cooking time?
Simply bring the cooker back up to pressure and cook the food a minute or two longer.
Can I use my pressure cooker on all types of ranges?

pressure cookers will work on induction ranges. However, because aluminum pressure cookers are not magnetic, they will
not work on induction ranges.
When cooking rst begins, is it normal for steam to escape and moisture to form on the cover and between the
handles?
It is normal for steam to escape and a slight amount of moisture leakage to form on the cover and between the handles
