The additional advantages of your pressure cooker with non-stick coating
In addition to the well-known features of KUHN RIKON pressure cookers, this coating offers you further decisive advantages:
- Hard, highly-resistant titanium base coating
- Non-stick coating (no difficult-to-remove food residues)
- Quick browning possible
- Simple cleaning
- Multifunctional pan: crisp fry in the traditional manner, then cook until done under pressure (cooking time under pressure approx. a 1/3 of normal cooking time)
Using the pressure cooker for the first time
Before using the pressure cooker the first time, wash the pan, lid and gasket with hot, soapy water. On electric cookers, the diameter of the pressure cooker base should match that of the hotplate or ring. The compatible hob diameter is etched into the base of the pan. (See section 13)
On some induction cookers noise may be generated whilst cooking under certain conditions on account of cookware oscillation in sympathy with the magnetic field. Unfortunately this cannot be prevented when using this cookware. If you cook on gas, never allow the gas flame to lick the sides of the pan. If you do, the exterior of the pan will become discoloured and the grips (or handles) will overheat and degrade. We recommend using a flame protector. (See section 16)
Using your non-stick DUROMATIC pressure cooker for the first time
After washing out the pressure cooker thoroughly with warm water to which washing-up liquid has been added, place a few drops of cooking oil into the pressure cooker prior to its first use and then wipe out with a paper kitchen towel.
