IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS Pressure Cooker Safety Rules

Pressure cookers work differently from conventional pots and pans and require some special safety practices in addition to normal cooking safety precautions.

  1. Before using your pressure cooker, read all instructions and be sure you understand them.

  2. Do not touch hot surfaces. Use handles or knobs.

  3. Use your pressure cooker on top of the stove only-never put it in the oven.

  4. Be very careful when using the pressure cooker near children. Supervise children closely.

  5. Before use, always check that the vent tube in the cover is open and that the pressure control is not clogged.

  6. Never cook foods that tend to foam or froth, as they may clog the vent tube and pressure control. Foods that are especially likely to do this are listed below.

    • Never cook these foods In the pressure cooker:
    • applesauce
    • oatmeal or other cereals
    • noodles,. macaroni; spaghetti or other pasta
    • split peas
    • pearl barley
    • cranberries or rhubarb
      If the vent tube or pressure control is blocked, the pressure may seem to be down when the pressure control ls removed, even though the contents may be above the boiling point and under pressure for a long  time after the cooker is removed from heat.
  7. Never fill the cooker more than % full. If you are cooking food that expands during cooking (such as rice or dried vegetables), fill the cooker only ½ full, see ”food preparation instructions!’

  8. This appliance cooks under pressure. Improper use nay result in scalding injury. Make certain unit is properly closed-before operating. See How to Operate Cooker, page 7.

  9. Never try to .open your pressure cooker until the unit is thoroughly cool and the Internal pressure is down. When the pressure is down, the cover should turn easily. Never try to force open the cover if it seems locked tight. See-Cooker Problems, page 8.

  10. If the vent tube becomes blocked· while cooker is -being heated, the pressure control will stop jiggling or rocking. immediately turn off heat and allow cooker to cool. WARNING: If vent tube is  blocked, overpressure plug may release and hot food and steam spray out. Keep face and head away from cooker. |
    When cooker Is thoroughly cool, clean the vent tube and check the contents to find out why the blockage occurred. Correct the problem before you resume cooking.

  11. If the vent tube becomes blocked during booking, and you do not notice the problem, the overpressure plug will release. Immediately turn off heat and allow cooker to cool. WARNING: If overpressure plug releases, cooker may spray scalding hot steam and food. Keep away until cooker has cooled.  Never reuse a blown overpressure plug. Replace it with a new plug. See “Overpressure plug has released” in Cooker Problems, page 8.

  12. Never use your pressure cooker for pressure frying with oil and never “breast” (pressure cooking with oil or shortening instead of water) iri your cooker.

  13. Never use your pressure cooker for other than its intended use. icy

  14. Always remove the gasket before using the cooker as a conventional (non-pressurized) covered pan without the pressure control. If you leave the gasket in, some pressure may develop in the cooker. Without the gasket, pressure will not develop.

  15. Be extremely careful when moving a pressure cooker full of hot liquids.

IMPORTANT

  • Steam may sometimes escape through lock lever and around cover handle. This Is not a malfunction as steam escapes until lock lever is fully engaged.
  • If steam continues for several minutes, tap cover handle lightly or open and reclose cooker to ensure proper gasket seal.
  • If pressure cannot be maintained in cooker, check gasket for replacement.
  • The overpressure plug will release _when vent tube is blocked. Do not reuse a blown overpressure plug. Replace with a new plug. To install, push rounded portion through underside of cover. Indented  portion will be visible from underside of cover when correctly installed.
  • If unable to obtain replacement parts from .a local dealer, use order form on page 96 and send directly to manufacturer.

Getting to Know Your Pressure Cooker

  • To use your pressure cooker properly, you must be familiar with its parts and features. Many of these parts are common to all models of cookers, but some differ for different models.

  • This information covers these models:Mirro-M-0536-11-Pressure-Cooker- \(2\)

  • Automatic Pressure Control (Selective or Single)

  • These precision-made controls never require adjustment or testing for accuracy. They automatically maintain the proper pressure for cooking. Your cooker has one of two types of pressure controls:

  • Selective Control

  • The selective control lets you select one of three pressure settings:

  • Pressure

    • 5 lbs. (35 kPa) 10 lbs. (70 kPa) 15 lbs. (103 kPa)
  • Cooking Temperature

    • 228° F (109° C) 240° F (11-5° C) 250° F (121 ° C)
  • Single Control
    The single control has one pressure setting:

  • Pressure
    15 lbs. (103 kPa)

  • Cooking Temperature
    250° F (121 ° C)

  • When the cooker reaches the proper temperature, the single control rocks gently.

  • V-type Self-Sealing Gasket

  • The gasket inside the cover automatically seals the cover when the cooker is closed according to directions and brought under operating pressure!;). The gasket may easily be removed for cleaning.

  • Overpressure Plug

  • The overpressure plug releases if the vent tube becomes blocked arid cooker develops too much pressure. This is a protection that permits excess pressure to be released safely. If you follow directions for using the cooker properly, the plug will probably never release. To replace a blown plug, see page 32.

Vent Tube

  • Your cooker has one of two types of vent tubes, to match the two types of pressure controls:

  • A. Selective (5-, and 10-, and 15-lb.) control

  • B. Single (15-lb.) control.

  • Lift: Pin Assembly
    As the pressure increases and decreases inside the cooker, the lift pin moves the lock lever in the handle.

  • Lock Lever

  • When the cover is properly closed and pressure begins to rise in the cooker, the lock lever drops intq the locked position in the bottom handle. It releases and unlocks when the pressure goes down.

  • Handles/Grips

  • B-, 12-, and 22-quart {7.6,11.4-, and 20.9-llter) models
    These models have matching grips on each side of the cover and pan. To close, rotate cover clockwise until the grips on the cover · are directly over the grips on the pan.
    4- and &-quart (3,8.- and 5,7-:liter) models cover clockwise until the cover handle.is directly over the pan handle.

    • To open either type, wait until pressure Is down, then gently rotate cover counter-clockwise.
  • All-Aluminum Cooking Rack
    The rack is used for canning and steaming foods and whenever directions specify its use.

  • Caver Positive Stop-Notch

  • There is a stop-notch located on the flange of the pan. Specifically on the first lug to the right of the handle. The stop-notch is a designed part of the pressure cooker/canner flange system. The purpose of the stop notch is to be a positive stop when you rotate your cover to the closed position.

How to Cook With Your  Pressure Cooker

  • General Tips- Read Before You Cook

  • Recipes and Timetables Pressure cookers use different recipes from conventional pa!’)s. This book includes recipes and timetables for many popular foods. The quantities of ingredients used depend on the size of the cooker, and the time needed to cook the food properly depends on the pressure used. For this reason, the recipes and timetables have information in several columns to correspond to different pressures and sizes of cookers. ·

  • Ingredient amounts are listed in four columns, corresponding to different size cookers and U.S. and metric measures (metric measures are rounded):

    • 4-quart cooker, U.S. measure
    • 6- or 8-quart cooker, U.S. measure
    • 3.8liter cooker, metric measure
    • 5.7- or 7.6-liter cooker, metric measure-
  • The timetables give minutes needed to cook in two columns, corresponding to two different pressures:

    • 10 lbs. pressure
    • 15 lbs. pressure
  • CAUTION: Be sure you use the columns for your cooker and the pressure you are using.
    Cooking times are only guidelines, because meats and vegetables vary i11 tenderness. Adjust cooking time!! to your taste.

  • To use these recipes in one. of the larger canners, follow this guide:

    • 12-quart (11.4-liter) canner: double the recipe for the 6- to 8-quart (5.7- to 7.6 liter) canner and increase the water by one cup (250 ml).
    • 22-quart (20.9-liter) canner: triple the recipe for the 6- to 8-quart (5.7- to 7.6-liter) increase the water by one cup (250 ml).
    • CAUTION : If you reduce any of the recipes in this book, you must still use the FULL AMOUNT of liquids called for.
  • Canning
    To pressure can, you must use a model with a selective control, because canning is done only at the lower pressures (5 and 10 lbs.).

    • CAUTION : Do not attempt to pressure can with a single-pressure control or a selective control set at 15 lbs.
    • See specific instructions and recipes for canning on  pages 25-31.
    • Cooking and Canning at High Altitude
    • At altitude above 1,000 feet (300 meters), increase pressure by 5 lbs. For example, if the recipe calls for 1 0 lbs. of pressure, cook at 15 lbs. If the recipe calls for 15 lbs. of pressure, increase cooking time slighly.

How to Operate Cooker

Your pressure cooker is very simple to operate. Follow these steps.

  1. Check to make sure vent tube is clear. Hold the cover up to a light. You should be able to see light through the vent tube. If you cannot see light, the tube may be blocked. Insert a piece of wire into the tube and run it gently in and out until you are sure the tube Is clear.

  2. Put food in the cooker, add the required amount of water, and wipe the rim of the pan. At first, until you become familiar with your cooker; use a little more water than-ls called for.

  3. Place gasket In position inside the cover and set the cover on the pan with the handles apart and the arrow on the cover pointing to the center of the pan handle.

  4.   Rotate cover clockwise until handle  (or grips) on-the cover are directly over handles (or grips). on the_pan. If a new gasket makes closing difficult, press-down. on the cover with one hand while rotating the cover with the other hand.
    WARNING
    : Handles or grips on cover must be  directly over handles or grips on pan. Never attempt to cook with handles or. grips in any other position. ·

  5. Set pressure control over vent tube. For selective pressure controls, be sure to align the control so that hole corresponding to the desired pressure is directly over the vent tube.

  6. Unless the recipe directs otherwise, set the cooker with contents over high heat.

    • Some recipes specify medium heat at this time.
    • As the cooker heats and ·pressure builds up, the lock lever will drop Into the locked position in the pan handle.
    • Some steam may appear around the handle during heating  you may hear a hissing sound as air and steam escape from the cooker. This is normal and will stop before cooker reaches operating pressure.
  7. When pressure control begins to jiggle and sputter (selective control) or rock (single control), reduce heat until selective control jiggles about 1 to 4 times per mi_n…ie or single control rocks gently.

    • The pressure control jiggles or rocks twine the cooker reaches the selected pressure. Lowering  heat so that the selective pressure control jiggles (1-4 times per minute) single control rocks occasionally maintain the proper or pressure while preventing excessive fuel use and excessive loss of cooking liquid as steam. Experience will teach you what setting on your stove will maintain pressure. Generally a setting of “medium” or “low” will be right. How long it takes to· bring the pressure up to the point where the pressure control jiggles or rocks depends on the size of the cooker and the amount of food being cooked or canned. A small cooker may take only 5 or iO minutes to reach pressure, while a large pressure canner with a full load may take 45 minutes to an hour.
    • CAUTION : If steam escapes in a steady stream  after. heat is reduc ed, gently nudge the pressure control to reseat it so that it jiggles intermittently or rocks gently.
  8. Count cooking time from the first jiggle or rock of the pressure control.

  9. When food has cooked under proper pressur.e for the required length of time, remove cooker from heat and reduce pressure.

    • CAUTION : Do not remove pressure control until pressure is completely reduced.
    • You can reduce pressure in three ways: fast-for fresh vegetables and fish. Run cold water over the cooker ·or place it in a pan of cold water. Depending on the amount of food in the cooker; it will take 15-60 seconds for pressure to go down fully.
    • normally-for canning. Let the cooker cool slowly to room temperature. This will take 25-35 minutes for a small cooker, 40- 45 minutes for the largest canner.
    • ·combination-for meats and dried vegetables. Let the·cooker cool norm·any at room temperature for 5 minutes, then place the cooker under cold water to reduce the remaining pressure:
    • As the pressure is reduced; air will re-enter the cooker, making a hissing or squealing sound. When the hissing stops, the lock lever in the cover will release.
  10. When the pressure is reduced, nudge the pressure control to make sure pressure is down, and if it is, remove the pressure control.
    WARNING: Escaping steam can scald you, and the  pressure control may be hot. Protect your hand with a pot holder or oven mitt.

    • CAUTION : If steam spurts out when control is nudged, pressure is not completely down. Continue to cool the cooker.
    • To remove the selective control, insert the tine of a fork Into one of the holes (see Illustration) and lift.
    • WARNING : The pressure control may be hot. Handle with care. 
    • To remove the single control, using a pot holder or oven mitt, grasp the plastic knob and lift straight up.
  11.  Open the cover by turning the cover counter­ clockwise until handles or grips are apart and cover is in the open position.
    When the pressure is fully reduced, the cover should slide open easily.
    WARNING : Never tug at the handles rotary to force them  apart If they seem locked. The lock lever will not release if any steam press1,1re remains in the cooker. Cool the cooker until pressure is fully reduced.

Cooker Problems

  • Problem: Pressure will not build up.
  • Steam continues to escape around the edge of the cover or around the handle, and pressure does not increase to make the pressure control jiggle or rock.

Causes and Remedies:

  1. Food particles have lodged in lift pin cavity, preventing it from sealing and actuating the lock lever. Reduce the pressure as instructed in the recipe. When pressure is fully down, remove the pressure control and open the cooker. Clean the cover (see page 9) and try again.

  2. Gasket or edge of cover is wet, with water escaping as steam and giving the appearance of_ a leak. Reduce the pressure as instructed ‘in the recipe. When pressure is fully down, remove the pressure control and open the cooker. Remove the gasket from the cover, and wipe the gasket, the pan rim, and the inside of the cover. Dry thoroughly and start over ..

  3. Gasket has shrunk·, so that it does not form a tight seal. Reduce the pressure as indicated in the recipe. When pressure is fully down, remove the pressure control and open the cooker. Remove the gasket from the cover and stretch It gently to its original size, replace It and try again. If gasket continues to leak, replace it.
    Problem : Caver is stuck closed. Cover won’t tum easily so it can be removed.
    Causes and Remedies :
    WARNING : Check these possible causes IN THE ORDER GIVEN.

  4. Cooker is not fully cooled, so pressure is not fully down, preventing the lock lever from releasing.
    Cool cooker until pressure is fully down.

  5. Vent lube is blocked, so pressure cannot be fully reduced. Cool cooker until you are sure it is thoroughly cool. Insert a piece of wire into vent tube and run it in and out until you are sure vent tube is clear.

  6. Food such as meat broth has collected on the gasket and “glued” it tight when the pressure was reduced.
    With the pressure control off the cover, put the cooker back on low heat until steam escapes from vent tube. Take the cooker oft the heat and let it cool until steam stops coming from the vent tube. Then remove the cover. Often, reheating for a short time will soften the material and allow the cover to be removed

  7. Food such as soup has boiled up and gotten between the gasket and the rim of the cooker, causing it to stick. Reheating, as in step 3, often will soften the food material and allow the cover to be removed.

  8. Gasket has stretched, so that it no longer fits properly.
    If the cooker is thoroughly cool, the vent tube is clear, and pressure is fully down, the gasket may have stretched until it no longer fits properly.
    Note : If this is the case, the cover will have been hard to close as well as hard to remove. Replace gasket with a new one.

Problem: Lock lever does not release after pressure is down.
Causes and Remedy:
Pressure is not fully down.
Cool cooker to room temperature. Remove pressure control, then slip a knife blades between the cover handle and the pan handle and slip the lock lever up.

  • WARNING : If steam escapes when the lock lever  is pushed up, the pressure Is not fully down. Cool to room temperature.

  • Problem : Overpressure plug
    has released.

  • Causes and Remedy:

  • The vent tube is blocked.

  • If the vent tube becomes blocked, and this condition goes unnoticed, excess pressure can build up in the cooker; causing the overpressure plug to release.

1. Cool the cooker and, when cool, remove cover.
2. Inspect the-cover and pan for damage.
3. Clean the vent tube by inserting a piece of wire into the vent tube and running it in and out until you are sure the tube is open.
4. Install a new overpressure plug. To install, push the rounded end of the plug through the underside of the cover. When properly installed, the indented part of the plug will be visible from the underside of the cover.  

WARNING : Never reuse a blown overpressure plug. Replace with a new plug.

Cleaning and Care of Your Pressure Cooker

Before using your cooker the first time, wash it thoroughly in hot Interior To make cleaning easier, run warm water into your cooker immediately after removing food. Wash in hot, soapy water. Remove food stains. and hard-water stains with a soap-filled steel wool pad; or bring to a boil one quart (1 L) of water. and 2 level tablespoons (30 ml) of cream of tartar, and let that solution boil in the cooker (cover off) for a few minutes .. You can also use a solution of equal amounts of water and

  • Exterior
  • Clean the exterior occasionally with silver polish. Remove water stains on the cover with a mild cleansing powder or silver polish. Do not soak cover or pan in water or wash in the dishwasher, as this will dull the outside polished finish.
  • The outside of the pan bottom may be scoured with a steel wool pad if necessary.
  • CAUTION : Never. beat a spoon, potato masher, or other utensil on the rim of the cooker. Any mar or dent in the rim may prevent a good seal from forming and prevent the cooker from pressurizing properly.
  • Gasket
    After each use of the cooker; remove the gasket from the cover. Wash it thoroughly in hot, soapy water; and rinse arid dry it thoroughly. Then slip the gasket back in place in the cover so the cooker is always ready to use

Lift Pin and Lock Lever

  • Always wash the cover thoroughly after each· use. Run hot water around all openings in handle to keep 11ft pin and Jock lever free of grease or food particles that could keep them from operating properly.

  • Note : If moisture remains inside handle  steam may appear around handle when the cooker is next used.  This is normal .

  • VentTube
    After washing and rinsing the cover and always before using, hold it up to the fight to see if the vent tube is clear. You should be able to see If you cannot, the tube may be blocked. Carefully insert a piece of wire in the vent tube and run it gently in and out to be sure the tube is clear and unobstructed. Then rinse again in hot water.

  • WARNING: The vent tube must.be open. Always check it before use

Pressure Control

  • Usually the pressure control will remain clean because it is “steam7cleaned” during operation. However, washing in hot, soapy water followed by thorugh rinsing will not harm it.
  • CAUTION : Be sure that stove top is level. If the top  is tilted, the pressure control may bind and not  operate properly.
  • Storage
    Store cooker with cover off or upside-down on cooker. Do not store with cover and gasket closed tight on pan.

Questions and Answers

  • How can I tell if the correct pressure is being maintained?
    As long as the pressure control jiggles (about 1-4 times per minute) or rocks gently, you can be sure the correct pressure is being maintained.  The control is precision-made and accurate. It never needs to be tested or adjusted for accuracy. control jiggles too often or rises on the vent tube , and emits a steady flow of steam. Too much heat results in excessive loss of cooking liquid.

  • Sometimes a trickle of moisture appears- around the vent tube or the overpressure plug. Is this normal?
    As the pressure is brought up, steam contacts the cold metal of the tube and condenses as water: The moisture usually disappears when the control jiggles and the metal has
    fully heated.

  • What makes the overpressure plug rebase?
    The overpressure plug is a safety feature to release pressure if the vent tube becomes blocked and excess pressure develops. If you follow the directions in this manual, you will probably never have the overpressure plug release.”
    WARNING: Never reuse a blown overpressure plug.  Replace it with a new one. (For installation, see “Cooker Problem_s” page 8.)

  • WHY does steam and moisture escape  around the rim of the cooker and the over handle?
    Moisture inside the handle or between the gasket and cover will escape as steam when the cooker is heated. The steam should stop as-the pressure builds up. If it does not stop, follow instructions In “Cooker Problems” section under “Pressure will not build up” page.a:

  • How can I tell if my cooker needs a new gasket?
    If steam escapes around the rim of the cooker and pressure will not build up (and the lift pin and locking lever are clean), you probably need a new gasket
    If gasket has become hard and shiny after long use, replace it. If gasket has stretched so that it no longer fits easily into the cover, replace it.

  • When my cooker was new, the cover flit very snugly. Now the cover slides on and off easily. Should I stretch the gasket?
    No. As long as pressure builds up properly and the cooker operates normally, the gasket is fine. As the cooker is heated, the gasket expands tC> s.eal the rim.
    After a gasket has been under pressure a few times, it naturally shrinks a tittle. Stretch it only if it fails to hold pressure.

  • What causes a squeal or hissing sound sometimes when the cooker  is cooled under running water?
    When the pressure is-reduced quickly, it produces a vacuum inside the cooker: The. noise you hear Is air rushing in to fill the vacuum. It is normal and harmless.  You can minimize the noise by running a moderate stream of. water on the rim of the cooker rather than directly on top.

  • What makes a gasket stretch or swell?
    Sometimes, after a gasket has been used for a long time, it stretches so that ii no longer fits properly. Replace it with a new.one. If a gasket stretches in less than a year, it is probably because of excess grease. Be sure to wash the gasket thoroughly after each use.

  • What makes the cooker hard to close?

  • In a-new cooker, the gasket is often very snug fitting. Pressing down on the cover with one·harid, while you open or close the cooker with the other; will often help. In a few instances, It may be necessary to lubricate the gasket with cooking oil or shortening for the firsttwo or three uses.

  • CAUTION : Do not lubricate gasket after the first two or three uses. Continued lubrication will cause the gasket to swell and not fit properly.

  • If your cooker has seen extended use, the gasket may have stretched so that it no longer fits. Replace it·with a new one .

  • Are the pressure controls inter­ changeable on the three-pressure (selective) model cooker and the one-pressure (single) model cooker?
    No. Pressure controls are. not interchangeable and must be used with the model of cooker for which they were intended.

  • May 1 use a one-pressure (single) model cooker for canning?

  • No: Toe one-pressure model can be used at 15 lbs. pressure only. Canning requires 5 lbs. and 10 lbs. also. See specific instructions for canning on pages 25-31.
