IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS

When using pressure cookers, basic safety precautions should always be
followed:

1 Read all instructions.
2 Do not touch hot surfaces. Use handles or knobs.
3 Close supervision is necessary when the pressure cooker is used near

children.

4 Do not place the pressure cooker in a heated oven.
5 Extreme caution must be used when moving a pressure cooker

containing hot liquids.
6 Do not use pressure cooker for other than intended use.
7 This appliance cooks under pressure. Improper use may result in

scalding injury. Make certain unit is properly closed before operating.

See “Operating Instructions”.
8 Do not fill the unit over mark “M” inside the pot (less than 2/3 full).

When cooking foods that expand during cooking such as rice or dried

vegetables, do not fill the unit over 1/2 height of mark “M” (less than

1/2 full). Over filling may cause a risk of clogging the vent pipe and

developing excess pressure. See “Food Preparation Instructions”.
9 Be aware that 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.

10 Always check the pressure release devices for clogging before use.
11 Do not open the pressure cooker until the unit has cooled and all

internal pressure has been released. If the handles are difficult to push

apart, this indicates that the cooker is still pressurized - do not force it

open. Any pressure in the cooker can be hazardous. See “Operating

Instructions”.

12 Do not use this pressure cooker for pressure frying with oil.
13 When the normal operating pressure is reached, turn the heat down so

all the liquid, which creates the steam, does not evaporate.

GENERAL RECOMMENDATIONS

Read the Use and Care instructions completely before using for the first time.

• Never use your Emerilware One Pot without liquid, it could damage it severely.

• Always put at least 1 cup (250 ml) liquid in the One Pot

• Be careful to use heat sources which are suitable to the One Pot

• When using a gas burner: make sure that the flame is not larger than the base of the
One Pot.

• When using an electric or radiant range: choose a cooking plate with a diameter equal
to or less than that of the One Pot.

• Before placing the One Pot onto a hotplate or ceramic glass cook top, be sure that the
base of the cooker is dry and thoroughly clean.

• In the case of starchy foods, lightly shake the quick cooker before opening the lid to
avoid food sputtering.

• Always place the steam vent facing the rear of the cook top and therefore away
from your face because pointing the release device towards you could cause a steam
burn.

• Do not tamper with the central unit, except for cleaning and maintenance see
instructions (page 9-10)

• Never open the central unit.

• Use only Emerilware One Pot replacement parts for your specific model.

INTRODUCTION

Congratulations, you are about to experience an easier and faster way to prepare tastier and healthier
food. You can prepare roasts, risotto, even desserts. Plus, you can finish off by flash steaming your
vegetables...a whole meal in “One Pot”.

The Emerilware One Pot utilizes our exciting new Steam-Surround technology that speed cooks an
amazing array of recipes. The magic of this technology lies in the special One Pot lid that surrounds
your food with pressurized steam, cooking the flavors in while not cooking the nutrients out. The
result is tastier, healthier food 25% faster than conventional stove-top cooking.

You can cook everything you need for a whole meal in the Emerilware One Pot. Unlike other
products that operate under pressure, the magic feature of the One Pot is that you can interrupt the
Steam-Surround cooking process at any time you like to taste, add other ingredients and spices, or
insert the steamer to begin cooking your vegetables.

The Emerilware One Pot is simple to use. Once you have gotten the recipe to the point where the
pot is ready to cover, you simply lock the lid into place. Now set the heat control dial of your cooktop
on high and heat until you see the steam escaping in a gentle steady stream, similar to the plume of
steam you see when boiling water in a tea kettle. This generally takes only a few minutes. As the
steam is gently released, you will hear a soft « sshhh » sound which tells you that things are cooking.
When you reach this point you lower the heat and let the One Pot do the rest.

If the recipe you are making calls for adding ingredients during the cooking process, or if you simply
want to see how the food is cooking, all you do is turn the open/close knob and wait for the small rod
in the cover to drop. This switches off the steam-surround process and allows you to open the lid.
Since it only takes about 5 seconds to release the steam, you can stir, add ingredients as needed or just
take a peek to see how your food is cooking. When you have finished, simply lock the lid back in
place and finish cooking. It doesn't matter how many times you open the pot since the surround steam
process kicks back in within a minute.

Now you can get gourmet results with easy preparation using fresh ingredients, in a fraction
of the time that you might expect. Cooking with steam-surround technology reduces the
cooking time and increases the intensity of the flavor of the cooked food.

The easy to prepare recipes included with the product look and taste like you spent hours
in the kitchen. Best of all there is only One pot to wash. Who can argue with that? Quick,
easy, healthy, delicious recipes with practically no clean up.

Now you can make Rissoto with Crimini Mushrooms,Tomatoes and Basil in about 20
minutes. Conventional preparation takes up to 35 minutes and involves 20 minutes of pot
watching. Using the Emeril One Pot you will find that in a fraction of the time you are used
to you, will have a perfect creamy risotto. Once you lock the cover of your One Pot in
place, you can walk away and in 15 minutes dinner is done.

Make a tender beef roast with intensely flavored gravy that has an Asian flare, in just over
an hour.

Clams and Mussels in a Garlic White Wine Broth is a perfect dinner when paired with a
loaf of crusty Italian bread, a fresh garden salad and bottle of well chilled white wine - and
it cooks in the time it takes to set the table.

We hope you will try and enjoy Emeril’s recipes provided with the One Pot. Use them as a
guide to adapt your favorite recipes. Just remember to cook as you normally would, but
reduce the cooking time by about one fourth. Use this rule of thumb as your guide but
check on the progress from time to time to see how the cooking is progressing. Once you
have established how much less time is needed, jot it down on your recipe so you will know
how long you need to cook the next time you prepare the recipe.
