SAFETY FIRST!

 WHEN USING THE ULTRAPOT PRESSURE COOKER Mueller ultrapot 6Q, BASIC SAFETY PRECAUTIONS SHOULD ALWAYS BE FOLLOWED.

The UltraPot cooks under pressure. Improper use may result in scalding injury to your body if exposed to steam. 

KEEP AWAY from the steam when releasing pressure or when opening the lid. 

DO NOT open the pressure cooker Mueller ultrapot 6Q until the unit has cooled and all internal pressure has been released. If the handles are difcult to push apart, this indicates that the cooker Mueller ultrapot 6Q is still pressurized – do not open it by force. Any pressure in the cooker Mueller ultrapot 6Q can be hazardous. 

The appliance is for household and noncommercial use ONLY. Keep away from children. 

For countertop use ONLY. DO NOT place on or near a hot gas or electric burner, or in a heated oven, and DO NOT move it while working. 

Never use it without the INNER POT. Make sure the contact surface between the Inner Pot and the Electronic Heater is always clean. 

Turn the lid counterclockwise until you reach Close Lid position. A clamping sound should be heard. ALWAYS check if the lid is locked in place before pressure cooking. 

DO NOT fill the unit over 2/3 full. When cooking foods that expand during cooking, such as rice or dried vegetables, do not ll the unit over 1/2 full. 

It is equipped with a 3-prong grounding plug. The plug must be plugged into an outlet which is properly installed and grounded.

Always attach plug to appliance first, then plug cord into the wall outlet. To disconnect, turn the cooker Mueller ultrapot 6Q off, then remove plug from wall outlet.

DO NOT immerse the base, cord or the plug in any liquids. 

If steam releases around the Lid during the cooking process, please unplug from the power supply immediately, let cool, remove content and contact the customer service. 

Certain foods, such as applesauce, cranberries, pearl barley, oatmeal or other cereals, split peas, noodles, macaroni, rhubarb, or spaghetti can foam, froth, and sputter, and clog the pressure release device (steam vent). These foods should not be cooked in a pressure cooker Mueller ultrapot 6Q. 

If there is any malfunction of the cooker Mueller ultrapot 6Q during the cooking process, please stop using the device. Do not operate this appliance with a damaged cord or plug or after it malfunctions or has been damaged in any manner.

AFTER CYCLE COMPLETES, TURN TO EXHAUST FOR QUICK RELEASE

REMOVING LID AFTER PRESSURE COOKING

When the pressure cooking cycle has completed, the unit will automatically switch to keep Warm. At this point you may release pressure in one of two ways - Natural Pressure Release or Quick Pressure Release.

Natural Release: Following pressure cooking, allow the unit to remain on keep Warm. The pressure will begin to drop - time for pressure to drop depends on the amount of liquid in the cooker Mueller ultrapot 6Q and the length of time that pressure was maintained. Natural Release can take from 15 to 30 minutes.

During this time cooking continues so it is recommended for certain cuts of meats, soups, rice, and some desserts. When pressure has fully released, the Float Valve will drop and the lid will unlock to open. As a safety feature, the lid will not open unless all pressure is released. Do not force the lid open. If the lid feels tight, please allow additional time for pressure to fully release before attempting to open the lid.

Quick Release (recommended for foods that should be Medium or Medium-Rare): Following pressure cooking the cooker Mueller ultrapot 6Q will beep and go to keep Warm. Press the keep Warm/Cancel button and the display will show OFF. Using an oven mitt or long utensil, carefully turn the Pressure Limiting Valve to the “Exhaust” position to release pressure until the Float Valve sinks. 

NOTE: You cannot adjust the Pressure Limiting Valve to the “Exhaust” position immediately after cooking, when using functions such as porridge or, soup. It is IMPORTANT that the Float Valve sinks before any attempts are made to open the lid. 

Float Valve sinked

CAUTION HOT STEAM – RISK OF SCALDING: USE TONGS OR LONG UTENSIL TO TURN THE VALVE. KEEP HANDS AND FACE AWAY FROM PRESSURE LIMITING VALVE DURING RELEASING PRESURISED STEAM.

COOKING POT / INNER POT MAKINGS 

Inside the removable cooking pot, there are two sets of markings.

To start cooking your food, open the lid, remove cooking pot from pressure cooker Mueller ultrapot 6Q and add food and liquids. 
NOTE: The total volume of food and liquid must not exceed 2/3 of the capacity of the cooking pot.

The total volume, for foods such as dried vegetables, beans, or rice and grains, must not exceed 1/2 the capacity. 
Overfilling may clog the pressure limit valve, which can cause excess pressure to develop. Always use at least ½ cup liquid when pressure cooking. 

WARNING: To avoid a serious burn injury when cooking foods other than rice, never exceed the 2/3 MAX PRESSURE COOK mark of the combined volume of liquids and solids. Be certain the inner receptacle, where the heating plate is located, is clean and dry before inserting the Inner Pot into the pressure cooker Mueller ultrapot 6Q and adjust the pot left and right to ensure optimal contact between the Inner Pot and the heating plate.

COOKING TIME CHART

Please note that the information below is for your reference only and can be adjusted according to the user’s preference. 

MEAT / POULTRY

• Always cook meat or poultry with at least 1-3 cups of liquid. If the cooking time exceeds 15 minutes, use 2 cups of liquid. If weight of meat or poultry is 3 lbs, use 3 cups of liquid. Preserved or salted meats should be immersed in water. 
• Cooking times for meat and poultry may vary according to the quality and quantity of meat or poultry being cooked. 
• Unless indicated. The cooking times given below are for 3 pounds of meat or poultry unless noted otherwise. Additionally, the denser the cut, the longer the cooking time should be. 

SEAFOOD

• Cooking times may vary according to the type of seafood being cooked. 
• Cook seafood on a cooking rack with a trivet on the bottom of the pot (if available), and add at least 3/4 cup of liquid. Lightly grease cooking rack with vegetable oil when cooking fish. 

VEGETABLE

• Always cook with at least 1-2 cups of liquid. 
• Add 1-2 additional minutes to cooking time when preparing frozen vegetables. 
• Use the quick release method at the end of cooking cycle to avoid over-cooking. 
*Split peas, applesauce, cranberries and rhubarb can foam, froth, and sputter, and can clog the pressure release device (steam vent). These foods should not be cooked in a pressure cooker Mueller ultrapot 6Q.

RISE & GRAINS

Before cooking, soak certain grains, such as wheat berries and pearl barley in four times their volume of lukewarm water for at least four (4) hours or overnight if required. Do not soak rice. Do not add salt to water, since it may toughen the grains and inhibit hydration. Rice and grains are best slightly undercooked if they are to be added to soups or casseroles. Oil or butter must be added to prevent foaming.

*Pear barleyy, oatmeal or other cereals can foam, froth, and sputter and can cog the pressure release device (steam vent). These foods should not be cooked in a pressure cooker Mueller ultrapot 6Q. 
*Cups referenced are with the included "rice measuring cup." 

Rice

Use this method for cooking long-grain or basmati rice. The texture will be more moist and slightly stickier than stovetop rice, more like rice from a rice cooker Mueller ultrapot 6Q or Asian restaurants. The butter or oil are to prevent foaming. Salt is optional to taste (you may wish to omit salt completely if using a purchased broth). 
White rice is cooked by selecting the RICE function and using Natural Release. 

DRIED BEANS AND OTHER LEGUMES

• Before cooking dried beans, pick over and discard any broken or shriveled beans or bits of dirt and debris. Rinse beans and drain. 
• Beans may be soaked overnight, but the pressure cooker Mueller ultrapot 6Q allows you to cook beans without presoaking. 
• Onions, garlic, celery, springs of fresh herbs or a bay leaf may be added for additional flavoring. Do not salt before cooking as salt inhibits cooking. 
• Never cook more than 2 cups of beans per batch (2 cups of beans + 8 cups of water + seasonings + onion, garlic, herbs to taste + 4 tsp oil). 
• Add 2 tsp oil per cup of beans to prevent foaming. 
• After cooking beans, clean lid, gasket, pressure limiting valve, and float valve carefully. 
• Use natural pressure release when cooking beans. 
• Cooking times may vary according to the quality of the beans or other legumes (this is partially dependent on the age of the dried beans, something you have no control over). If still hard after recommended cooking times, continue cooking uncovered. Add additional water, if necessary.
