Manufacturer's Description
Eating habits have changed. Busy professionals, working parents and large families now want to prepare meals quicker but also want to eat healthily. Quickness and healthiness: both requirements are met perfectly by WMF pressure cookers. Healthy nutrients in the food are largely conserved and cooking times are reduced by up to 70% compared to conventional cooking. In addition WMF pressure cookers are safe and only require little maintenance.

Simple Operations

Mind the fill quantity: All WMF pressure cookers have an inside scaling for easy measuring. To produce steam, on which cooking with the pressure cooker is based, you need at least ¼ litre of liquid. Never fill the WMF pressure cooker more than the maximum of 2/3 of the pot. For bubbling dishes or dishes with beans, pulses or cooking rice never fill more than half the pot as they will need more room to expand. You will find further information about cooking times and fill quantity in the Cooking time chart which comes with your pressure cooker.

Putting on the lid



In order to put on the lid you need to make sure that the dot on the lid and the handle are in one line. Now you can lock the lid by turning it clockwise while your hand is slightly pressing the lid from above on the opposite side. Then push the cooking slide to “zu/locked”

Heating

Put the filled and locked pot on the hob and set the heat source to a maximum energy supply. The start-up automatic valve causes air to escape so that you will see steam escaping and a hissing sound. When this stops the pressure can build up. The cooker indicator will rise as pressure is building up and depending on the pressure various coloured rings will appear.

The first yellow ring is the residual pressure locking indicator and is not used for cooking. It is one of the 4 security features which will be explained further down. The other two (orange) rings indicate the two cooking stages: Cooking on the 1st orange ring (109°C) is best suited for delicate vegetables, fish and poultry while the 2nd orange ring (117°C) is great for substantial dishes and meat.

Cooking time  The cooking time starts with the required cooking ring emerges. As soon as you can see the right orange ring please turn down the heat source but please make sure that the required ring will remain visible. You will get to know your pressure cooker and this will get easier in time. During the whole cooking process no steam will escape from the pot.

The Cooking time table included contains reference values for the cooking times and on which ring you should cook. In the beginning you will need some practice in order to select the appropriate cooking time, which depends on the food to be cooked and the individual preferences.

Opening the pot

There are 3 options to reduce the pressure and open the pot:

1. Wait until the cooking indicator has completely disappeared in the lid. This is best for dishes which require a long cooking time like potatoes in their skin, bubbling dishes and soups.

2. Or: Push the cooking slide slowly to the medium position “Abdampfen/ Release steam” and leave it there until no steam escapes anymore.

3. Or: Put the pot into the sink and pour slowly and carefully cold water over the lid. As soon as the cooking indicator has dropped, no more steam will escape anymore.

N.B. Shake the pot before opening so that bubbles formed in the cooked food can dissolve.

Safe Technology All WMF pressure cookers are very safe. They bear the GS seal for certified safety assigned by the German TÜV as well as the CE sign and get quality checked several times during the production process.

Further safety features:

1.  Pressure can only build, if the lid has been closed and locked correctly. The pressurised pot cannot be opened until the yellow ring has fully disappeared. The residual pressure locking (yellow ring) indicates any residual pressure in the pot.

2. If the pot is heated beyond the second orange ring, the main valve will release steam between lid and handle reducing the pressure. This will also sound the audible alarm. Please remove from heat and slightly pull back the lock, which will stop the alarm allow the excess steam to escape. The valve will go down, once you get to the orange cooking ring you need lock the pressure cooker and carry on cooking. The steam will always flow away from your body, when the handle is facing you.

3. Additional safety is guaranteed by the start-up automatic valve. In case of over pressurising the ball in the lid will rise and release the valve.

4. The last safety feature is the slot in the side of the lid which will release steam through squeezing the sealing ring through the slot when over pressurising the pot.

As you can see the WMF pressure cookers are one of the safest on the market.

Easy Cleaning



The WMF pressure cookers are very easy to clean as you don’t need to take it apart to clean the valves.

WMF Perfect Plus the technology is integrated in the handle! Steam will only flow between lid and handle, but not through the valve or the cooking indicator. Both parts are protected by a rubber seal, which means nothing gets dirty. Even with starchy dishes such as rice or potatos nothing will agglutinate. That’s why cleaning is so easy!

The removable handle is a solution from WMF. Just remove the handle from the lid and rinse it under the tap water – finished! At the end attach the handle again to the clean lid.

Never submerge it in water.

We recommend cleaning the sealing ring manually in water.

In addition please read the care instructions for WMF cookware made out of Cromargan 18/10 stainless steel.

Most Helpful Customer Reviews   1 of 1 people found the following review helpful: 5.0 out of 5 stars Ideal for one or two people, 1 Feb 2009 By  R. Pengilley - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)    This "Perfect Plus" pressure cooker lives up to its name. It has a good, solid, induction-compatible (so can be used as an extra saucepan) base and the detachable handle makes for easy, thorough cleaning. The lock feels secure and the whole thing looks good and feels well-built. It works very well, needing very little water so saves energy. I bought it primarily to cook dried pulses, which it does very quickly. A little trial and error is needed at first to get the timing right, e.g. the manual suggests 10-15 minutes, with up to 10 minutes longer for large beans, but you soon learn the best times for different pulses. It's great for beetroot too. A very good product. Comment Comment | Permalink | Was this review helpful to you?
