How much food and liquid should be in the inner pot when cooking?

As a general requirement for pressure cooking, always ensure that your inner pot has the following minimum amount of liquid (this depends on the size of your cooker

 

  • 6 L: 1 ½ cups (375 mL)

 

However, if you are cooking a recipe that specifies the amount of liquid to be added on the inner pot, follow the liquid requirements based on the recipe to ensure best cooking results.

 

Note: These liquids should be water-based, including stock, broth, juice, cooking sauces, as well as wine and beer. Oils and oil-based sauces do not have enough water content to account for the required liquid volume. Add suitable liquid to thin condensed cream-based soups and thick sauces. Do not fill the inner pot higher than the MAX Line (Pressure Cooking Maximum), as indicated on the inner pot. Exercise extreme caution when cooking and venting food such as applesauce, cranberries, pearl barley, oatmeal, split peas, noodles, etc., as these foods may foam, froth, or spatter, and may clog the pressure release hole and/or pressure release valve. Do not fill the inner pot higher than the — 1/2 (both liquid and food) when cooking these foods.

 

Note: The combined amount of liquid and food should never go beyond the recommended maximum fill lines as indicated in the inner pot.
