Salter EK1847 5 Litre Pressure Cooker F.A.Q.

How do I safely release pressure from the Salter EK1847 pressure cooker?

To safely release pressure from the Salter EK1847, turn the pressure release valve to the 'venting' position using a long-handled utensil to avoid steam burns. Ensure your hands and face are away from the steam outlet.

What should I do if the pressure cooker lid is stuck and won't open?

If the lid is stuck, ensure all pressure is released by checking the pressure indicator. If it is still stuck, allow the cooker to cool completely, then try opening the lid. Avoid forcing it open as this can damage the seal.

How can I clean the Salter EK1847 pressure cooker after use?

After use, unplug the cooker and allow it to cool. Remove the inner pot and wash it with warm, soapy water. Wipe the exterior with a damp cloth and clean the sealing ring and lid components separately to ensure no food particles remain.

What is the maximum fill level for the Salter EK1847 pressure cooker?

Do not fill the pressure cooker more than two-thirds full. For foods that expand during cooking, such as rice or beans, fill no more than halfway to prevent clogging the steam vent.

How do I troubleshoot if the Salter EK1847 is not building pressure?

Ensure the lid is correctly sealed and the pressure valve is set to 'sealing'. Check for any obstructions in the steam release valve and ensure the gasket is properly placed and not damaged.

Can I cook frozen food in the Salter EK1847 pressure cooker?

Yes, you can cook frozen food. However, increase the cooking time to account for the thawing process. Always ensure that the food reaches a safe internal temperature before serving.

What maintenance does the pressure cooker require to ensure longevity?

Regularly check the sealing ring for wear and replace it annually or as needed. Clean the pressure valve and float valve to ensure they are not blocked. Store the cooker with the lid upside down to maintain the seal's integrity.

How can I prevent food from sticking to the bottom of the inner pot?

To prevent sticking, add a small amount of oil to the pot before cooking, or use the sauté function to pre-cook ingredients like onions and garlic. Stir occasionally during cooking if the recipe allows.

How do I set the cooking time on the Salter EK1847 pressure cooker?

Select the desired cooking function, then use the '+' and '-' buttons to adjust the cooking time. Once set, the cooker will start automatically after a few seconds.

Why is steam escaping from the sides of the lid during cooking?

Steam escaping from the sides may indicate an improperly sealed lid or a worn-out gasket. Ensure the sealing ring is correctly positioned, and replace it if it shows signs of damage or wear.
