User Tips
- Utilize Dual Pots: Use the Crystal Diamond pot for dishes where non-stick is crucial, like rice or porridge, and the Stainless Steel pot for stews, soups, or dishes requiring high heat.
- Pre-soak Grains/Beans: For certain grains or beans, pre-soaking can reduce cooking time and improve texture.
- Layering Ingredients: When cooking multiple ingredients, consider layering them according to their cooking times, with longer-cooking items at the bottom.
- Natural Release vs. Quick Release: For delicate foods or foamy ingredients, allow for natural pressure release. For quicker results with sturdy foods, use the one-key reverse exhaust.
- Experiment with Open Lid Cooking: This feature is excellent for browning ingredients before pressure cooking or reducing sauces after, adding depth of flavor.
