Cook meat, fish, chicken, vegetables, beans, rice, grains, even desserts. Select function settings for high pressure, low pressure, slow cook, brown, saut, and keep warm. High-speed pressure cooking preserves flavors and nutrients, even tenderizes less expensive cuts of meat. It cooks up to 70% faster than ordinary cooking methods, saving time, energy, and money. The proper pressure is maintained automatically. A special rack is included for cooking several foods at once with no intermingling of flavors. Digital controls with an LED display count down the remaining cooking time. When the timer signals that cooking is complete, the cooker switches to keep warm to let the pressure release on its own, or you can activate the valve lever for quick pressure release. The removable pot with nonstick surface is dishwasher safe for easy cleaning. Provides eight built-in safety features including a cover locking system that allows pressure to build only when the cover is securely closed and prevents the cover from being opened until pressure is safely reduced.
