There are eight Pre-Set MENU BUTTONS programmed for your pressure cooker. They are
RICE, SOUP & STEW, MEAT & CHICKEN, POTATOES & YAMS, BEANS, PORK, FISH &
VEGETABLES, AND DESSERTS. The default times are preset for quick and easy cooking for
small portions of food. (When cooking food that is more than 3lbs. or more than 6-cups,
please use the Timed Cooking function.) Each of the default times is programmed to
detect the weight of food being cooked and how much liquid is inside the pot during the
cooking cycle. The unit will automatically build up the pressure, cook the food and go to
KEEP WARM when cooking is complete.
