Can I put
my pressure
cooker into
the oven?
The DUROMATIC pressure cooker
can go into the oven only at settings
below 300° F because of the stay-
cool, phenolic handles and valves. Most foods
prepared in a pressure cooker would not require
placement into an oven for cooking. Sometimes,
you may want to put the smaller pressure frypan
into the oven to keep it warm and that can safely
be done at settings below 300° F.
Place the lid upside down on the pan
for storage, so that there is no stress
on the ring seal in the lid and all
components are well ventilated. You may wish to
place a towel between the lid and the pan in
order to protect the finish from scratches.
Immediately after use, remove the
gasket and wash the lid by hand
thoroughly inside and out. The
exposed inside edge of the lid should be given
special attention. The gasket should be cleaned,
dried and returned to the lid. If the pressure
cooker lid is hard to turn when closing, the gas-
ket has become dried out and should be lightly
rubbed with cooking oil. The pan is dishwasher
safe. If difficult stains and/or baked-in spots
occur, try simply soaking the pan or adding
water to the pan and bringing it to a boil. If white
stains occur, this is a natural result of calcium
deposits due to hard water, or starch deposits
from foods like rice or beans.
