burner, depressurize it, open the cooker, and place the potatoes in the cooker in the perforated inset over the roula-

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

nue cooking it.
