Tips
- Immediately heat the chicken in the pressure cooker then lower the temperature to the lowest heat while still cooking.
- Different pressure cookers have different pressure control knobs or knobs. Read the manual to find out how to use the pressure cooker. The Fagor brand Presto has a knob that will fully stretch when under pressure.
- Cooking time will vary depending on the type of pressure cooker and the altitude you are at. Read the manual for more information. The recipe practiced here is based on an altitude of approximately 2,300 above sea level, using the Fagor pressure set to 15 Psi (1.05 Kg/cm2). Your Presto may require different settings.
- Read your pressure cooker's manual to find out how much water you need. Each pressure cooker determines the minimum amount of water needed for proper cooking.
Warning
- Always be careful when opening the pressure cooker. The temperature of the food inside is very hot.
- Cool the food cooked in the pressure cooker before tasting it. The pressure cooker reaches its highest temperature when cooked.
- Never cook chicken in a pressure cooker with only oil. This is very dangerous and is not recommended. You can fry the chicken until brown in the pan, and then cook it in a pressure cooker using water.
- Always follow the instructions in the pressure manual.
- Always make sure your vent or pressure valve system is clean. Read the manual for more information.
- This pressure cooker is safe as long as you read and follow the instructions in the manual.
- Always read your pressure manual before using it.
