Pressure reduction tips for specific foods:
Foods with a short cooking time:
Use fast pressure reduction as otherwise foods can become overcooked.
Vegetables with a long cooking time / soups / meats, completely
covered by liquid / potatoes / cereals / dried pulses:
Use slow pressure reduction. Do not use water to cool!
(Potatoes could otherwise fall apart)
Meat / vegetables / frozen vegetables / fresh fruits /
dried foods (excluding pulses):
Use normal or fast pressure reduction (for ready-prepared meals,
allow the pressure cooker to stand beside the heat source for one
minute before reducing pressure).
Fish / risotto:
Use fast pressure reduction.
Foods with a high fat content or mash-type foods (e.g. dried pulses):
Use slow pressure reduction and gently shake the cooker before opening
the lid to prevent the contents from spitting when the lid is opened.
After cooking meat with a skin (e.g. ox tongue) which may swell under
the effect of pressure, do not prick the meat while the skin is swollen
as you might be scalded.
10. Cleaning and care instructions
for the DUROMATIC
Under normal circumstances, the valve is self-cleaning. However, if
food particles have passed through the valve, then it is necessary to
take the valve apart in order to clean it. (See section 10.1.1)
Tighten loose handles or grips with a screwdriver. If you have
difficulties, contact your local dealer or a KUHN RIKON Service Center.
(See section 13)
After each use, remove the gasket from the lid. Rinse out and wash
both, the gasket and the lid, taking care to thoroughly clean the area
around the flanges.
