  • Put the pressure cooker on the stove over medium-high heat on the 'High Pressure' setting. When the pot reaches high pressure, the yellow button will pop up. Reduce the heat to medium-low and cook for 15 minutes. Make sure that you keep an eye on it so that it remains at high pressure. Adjust the heat as necessary.
