Product Manuals

Q: Perception is the cooker blow up a lot. How safe it is ?

A: That perception of danger likely comes from the old stove top pressure cookers. My mom was a great cook, but knew only one burner setting - 100% wide open. So our stove top pressure cooker would be hissing, venting clouds of steam, rattling, seemingly ready to blow up. By contrast, modern automatic pressure cookers use only the heat needed to reach and maintain temperature and pressure, and they vent very little steam. Additionally, the Cuisinart Instruction Booklet lists seven safety features which provide several independent safety redundancies. These include features that limit temperature and pressure in the cooker.

Q: Is this comparable to the Insta Pot?

A: There are a number of electric pressure cooker brands out there, and they all pretty much do the same thing. Some of different functions (I believe the Instant Pot can make yogurt, the others can't). Some have preset buttons (which are just minutes to cook - all the pressure/temp is the same), and others just have the times you push. Some you can adjust pressure, others you can't - however, most recipes will be cooked on HIGH, which is what the cookers default to.

Q: Can this pressure cooker be used to cook rice?

A: Yes. There's a chart in the cookbook portion of the directions book that tells you how long to cook rice. It even breaks down to different types of rice.

Q: this was so hard to put together I have no idea if the relief valve is on correctly. need better instructions and pictures

A: I had to go online and look up the instruction manual. I didnt get one for some reason. But once I looked it up there were easy instructions.

Q: If I cook 2lb potatoes-it takes about 20min to build up pressure and about 20 min of cooking time. If I cook it on the stove It’s about 45 min. What’s the benefit to getting this one?

A: Not too much of a benefit for potatoes here. Large meats though, say a pot roast for example, have greatly reduced cooking times, and come out very juicy and tender. I do a pot roast with potatoes and carrots in about 90 minutes total. The same meal takes nearly 4 hours in my oven or at least 8 hours in my crock pot. Ribs take me 45 minutes in the pressure cooker versus 3.5 in the oven (plus 15 in the broiler after saucing them up). I can cook fall apart, tender chicken in about 20 minutes, too. I guess it all just comes down to what you would be using it to cook at home.

Q: how do you set time for 7 hours

A: This is a pressure cooker. Not a slow cooker, such as a crock pot Anything you would cook in a pressure cooker for 7 hours would be ,not good.
