Information on using your pressure cooker
Filling capacity
See Fig. L
Please note the following information on filling amounts. A scale found on the inside of the pot will make it easier to
measure these amounts.
„min“
Depending on the diameter of the pressure cooker, at least 200-300 ml of liquid is necessary to produce steam,
regardlessofwhetheryouareusinganinsetornot.Neverusethepressurecookerwithouthavingthisminimum
amount of liquid (see „min“ marking).
Ø 18 cm: 200 ml
Ø 22 cm: 250 ml
Ø 26 cm: 300 ml
„max“
The pressure cooker may only be filled up to ⅔ full to function safely (see „max“ marking).
„½“
For foods that foam or expand during cooking, such as rice, legumes, broths, or dried vegetables, the pressure cooker
may only be filled half full (see „½“ marking).
Important:
Never cook without sufficient liquid, and make sure that the liquid in the pressure cooker never steams away
completely. Otherwise, the food may burn and the cooker, handles and burner can be damaged (see safety inst-
ructions).
Suitable stoves
The fully encapsulated CookStar all-stove base ensures optimal heat absorption, distribution and storage and can be
used on all kinds of stoves, including induction. The integrated expansion joints, seen as a star on the bottom of the
cooker, ensure that the base will be absolutely stable. The proper contact between the base and the burner is thus
ensured – for the best of cooking results.
