How do I open the pressure cooker?

Let the pressure down according to the recipe, either letting it sit or running a drizzle of cold water on the still sealed lid. I carefully test the 'jiggler' to see if ALL the pressure is out. When it is, just twist the top handle and carefully remove it.

This pressure cooker nearly blew up in our kitchen. I returned it and think you should, too, for safety reasons. I had owned a different brand for 20 years and never had a problem.

Did you already buy it ? If not don't. I threw mine away after a short time. You turn the handle to open it.

You have to make sure the vent is still open, then wait a minute or so and then lift the hinges ( or claps ). The lid should open, but be careful because the food will be hot. Deb M.

I'm sorry but I am unable to answer your question as I do not have a pressure cooker. I purchased this to use in a pan to poach fish and have not used it yet. Good luck.

I can open it easily with my fingernail. You may need to push the right point to open it.

You brown your meats first with high heat and olive oil. You can then use a paper towel to remove the extra oil, and finish slow cooking the meat with what else you are adding. Don't be afraid to experiment. These newer pressure cookers are a lot safer. Enjoy!

It's a pressure cooker, It does come with a lid OR how else will it build pressure to cook.

You have to put light pressure to the plastic cover on the side of the appliance, very near the top. Start with either end and work your way toward the other end.

You will need to have a port/hole in the lid of you pressure cooker that is threaded 1/8" pipe thread to screw the gauge into.

It is straightforward and simply by rotating the cover a short turn. You of course should not open until the pressure has dropped and there is a reliable indicator of this. This is a most useful appliance and the only negative I have is that the gasket will no longer hold the pressure and I have searched diligently and cannot find a replacement.

I was able to open it just by pressing down on the back and lighting it up. I hope this helps.

The lid is slow to open, because it is a pressurized cooker. Perfectly normal. Just push the button and wait for it to lift on its own.

Buy a pressure cooker. With Cuisinart CPC-600AMZ 1000-Watt 6-Quart Electric Pressure Cooker, Brushed Stainless and Matte Black , I put 1 cup rice with 1.3 cups water and set the cooker to high pressure for 3 minutes. It takes a total of abut 15 minutes; the 3 minute setting only means that the food will cook at maximum pressure for 3 minutes. Some time is spent on achieving that pressure and then cooling back to normal pressure so that you can open the cooker.
