If you have an electric pressure cooker it will automatically pressurise itself.
QUICK-RELEASE METHOD
For the quick-release method referred to in our recipes, always use tongs (steam can burn your fingers) to turn the pressure valve on top of the cooker to open the valve and release the steam. This will release the pressure quickly before you remove the lid. To check the food towards the end of the cooking time or to add more ingredients, follow this method.
We have used a 6-litre (24-cup) pressure cooker for the recipes on the following pages.
