Important !

Follow the recipe exactly.

Use standard equipment.

Do not scale up or down, at least the first time.

Never force open a cooker.

FAQ:

I don't have a 2liter stainless steel cooker/ induction stove!

Buy them - else you need to figure out the right timings.

My cooker does not whistle!

Get it checked. Most Indian cookers whistle.

How to check my cooker?

Add 1/4C water to your 2L cooker. On high heat, first whistle comes in around 1-2 minutes. On medium heat, it takes around 3-4 minutes.

Common complaints:

Food is overcooked/ undercooked!

Reduce/ increase cooking time.

Food is burnt!

Reduce cooking time/ add more water. Use standard equipment. Do not cook beyond 5 minutes for no water recipes.

Recipes do not work for me !

Check your cooker. Cook at 600W/ 900W settings as per the recipe. If using gas/ electric stoves, check timings by heating 1/4C of water in your 2l cooker.

Remember:

1. Pressure cooking is always with whistle on, right from the beginning.

2. Do not use an inner vessel/ add water, unless the recipe calls for it.

3. Preheat electric stove tops before cooking and remove cooker after cooking.

4. Safety first! Understand a recipe before attempting it !
