Cooking is more "art" than "science". Add a minute or two and then examine the result and then decide how much to adjust the next time.

The cook book could be better.Reply to solitaire40's post: The cook book, charts, times and temps are only a guide. You have to use a thermometer to test for doneness...that's the only way to go.

My instruction booklet says to use at least 1 cup of water. Thats what I use for vegetables, anything cooked under 15 minutes.

Wow, I'm far from a cooking expert. Only thing I'll suggest is if you're not already using a cooking spray (i.e. PAM,Crisco or Smart Balance) try that with just a 10 second reduction on time you're MWaving them.

I have used a 12 inch Pan that worked fine. You could probably use up to 15 inch. Ray

I don't think there is any conversion needed. I use various pressure cooker cookbooks and recipes from the web without changing any of the cooking times. Pressure Cooking for Dummies has a lot of useful info and good recipes too. I love this, bought it to replace a Wolfgang Puck machine that died just at a year. The Cuisinart has been going and going. Just made delicious corned beef, so tender, cook the meat for 1 hour in 2 cups of broth, take the meat out, add your veggies and cook for a few more minutes, then slice corned beef and dinner is done. So easy and yummy! The guys in my husband's office perk up their heads when he reheats these leftovers! I don't think there is any conversion needed.

I have the Pampered Chef Stoneware Cookbook and their recipes do not go over 450 degrees. I hope this helps you. C. Adams

I contacted the company via phone. The customer service agent took that question to their supplier and within 24 hours I had an answer that the machine only goes to 12PSI. Which was not enough for me. Were it not for that I ABSOLUTELY would have purchased this machine. I loved the stainless steal liner plus the great customer service I received with something I had not even purchased. I ended up getting the Big Boss 8.5 qt because it does go to 15PSI. As far as I know it is the only one on the market that goes that high. Not a perfect machine, but does the job.

I have a cookbook that is 10 3/16 which just fits. Anything less than that should be fine.

Mine is the 220-05NS NS for non stick. I don't see wattage. Has a light that goes out when it is heated. Only takes a few seconds to bake these cookies.Recipes are versatile and easy for adjust. I have chopped nuts and used liquers for flavoring. Can't eat just "6" !

Hi, I have the Hamilton Beach 33140 oval slow cooker. It doesn't come with recipes, but it does have guidelines to use the slow cooker. If you follow the exact guidelines, your food cooks faster than stated, so check after 2 hours on high. Enjoy.

Sorry, cannot answer as I bought this as a gift, however they love this pressure cooker, it has exceeded their expectations and can cook entire meals in 15 minutes.

420-220 and "simmer". I estimate that it comes on at 150-175. When new, I used 350 for a burger or chicken cutlet. Now it takes 400 for the same result.

My favorite PC cookbook is the Great Big Pressure Cooker Book by Bruce Weinstein and Mark Scarbrough. They tested all the recipes on this model, so I recommend it as there is some variance in cooking time.
