Tips
¡ Recommendations for cooking:

same time when cooking soups, creams, lentil stews
or chickpeas.

frying the food, maintain the temperature by adjusting
the power if necessary. Maintain the temperature of
the oil between different batches and turn the food
frequently.

legumes. Follow the manufacturer's instructions of
the pressure cooker. Add all the ingredients at the
same time at the start.
– Bring the water to a boil before adding pasta, rice or
potatoes and then adjust the power level to continue
boiling.
