What is the minimal amount of liquid needed for the pressure pan. I have several recipes that use a very small amount of liquid

Two cups will cook my complete dinner in 10 to 12 minutes and still have liquid left. Do not let it run out of liquid. hope this helped

Even though it is low volume it is a wide bottom pan. If I were cooking something with a small volume of fluid I would get a smaller bottom but deeper pan. Another thing I do for small quantities is I put what I am cooking in a small stainless steel bowl and put it in the larger pan with water and cook it that way. Some have bowls with lids but I do not and it works just fine. I hope this helps. Have a wonderful day.

This is all I could find... hope it helps...higher altitude more time and liquid.. gg By:sailorgirl Location: sailing the upper Great Lakes Gear Style: Comfort Driven Describe Yourself: Casual Adventurer PRACTICE BEFORE PACKING November 6, 2011 GSI pressure cookers seem to cook slightly slower than standard home use units. One document I read said they max. out at about 12.5 psi where houshold ones work at 15 psi. I've found that cook times for standard presure cooker recipies must be extended by a few minutes. It would be handy if the max. psi were given on the instructions or in the product description above. Also, don't be too conservative with liquids, especially where cook times get up to 20 min. or more (i.e. breads), as these lose a fair bit of steam out the pressure valve - not a failure, just a "design feature". Where a recipe calls for 1 C. liquid, go with 1.25 C., if 3 C. go with 4 C. Still, they're light weight and a good size for 1 person up to maybe 4. I use mine on a boat and it lets me eat well on long trips.

That's exactly what I'd like to know... it seems difficult to find this information on pressure cookers... I'm trying to research before I buy, and I can't find exact pressure settings (just 'low', 'medium', or 'high'). ? ? ?

There are 3 pressure settings; high, medium, low, ranging from 10.5 psi to 4.5 psi. Cooker comes with an excellent instruction book. Follow easy instructions for perfect results. Rick

You can use less pressure, it just takes a little longer. A slightly coarser grind will decrease the amount of pressure needed. A thin silicone pot holder under the cup will keep it form moving on the counter if that is a problem.

I use a recipe that calls for 2 cream cheeses and 2 eggs and no sour cream or additional liquids and it makes roughly 12-15 mini cheesecakes depending on how thick the crust is. Hope that helps

I would recommend used a spoon or spatula for just dry ingredients. This is great for dry and liquid put together. Pancake mix, dough, cake mix, etc.

Hi Alice, a minimum of 10 drops and maximum of about 30. It really depends on how long you want to use it and at what power level. If you run it on high power, you will need more oil for sure.

I use a small amount of butter. Small amount of oil works well. Dry not so much.

Yes, you use less. The measuring cap is also smaller, so it is really easy to figure out. I estimate that I fill the cap about 1/2", that little is enough.

This one seems too small. The Presto site discusses canning. A cooker with a pressure gage would let you make sure I got it hot enough.

The minimum I cook is one cup, and there is never any problem. I don't think it would be worth cooking less. It has never boiled and bubbled to the top

all the instructional videos I watched on youtube.com specifically recommend using only light pressure. One mentioned two pounds of pressure.

Did you get a water measurer? I did and I also got instructions, which I lost. I do 4 eggs at a time and fill the measuring cup up to the four. I measured it for you -- it is just a tat over 5 Tablespoons. I hope that helps. I love this little cooker. Dorothy Morgan

hi there. there is no 15psi. its 12 psi for the 2 setting and 7psi for the 1 setting. i then add a few minutes to the cooking time for a 15psi need. it really isnt that big a difference and you will get the same results. promise. I love my pressure cooker to death and use it for everything from whole octopus to potatoes. mmm

1 (one) liter - Relatively small and I've been advised by the manufacturer that it should not be used as a "pressure fryer" although that's why I bought it - pressure cooker, yes, but not pressure fryer.
