Tips To Use A Pressure Cooker With European Appliances

• Electric Stove Heat: Start cooking on medium-high, then reduce the heat once the cooker reaches pressure to keep it consistent.
• Whistle Check: Make sure the whistle works appropriately. If it doesn’t go off, check for blockages in the vent.
• Gasket Care: Regularly inspect and replace the gasket to ensure the cooker builds pressure properly and cooks evenly.
• Adjust Cooking Times: Appliances in Europe may cook faster, so reduce cooking times for recipes like dal and rice, especially on induction stoves.

Tips to Clean Indian Cookwares in Europe 

• Stainless Steel Cookware
• How to Clean: Use a soft sponge and mild dish soap. For stubborn stains, soak in warm water with a couple of tablespoons of baking soda for 15-30 minutes, then scrub gently.
• Non-Stick Cookware
• How to Clean: Use a soft sponge with a non-abrasive cleaner. For burnt food, fill the pan with water and bring it to a boil to loosen the residue, then wash as usual.
• Cast Iron Cookware
• How to Clean: Rinse with hot water and use a stiff brush. Avoid soap, as it can strip the seasoning. After cleaning, dry it thoroughly and apply a thin layer of cooking oil to maintain its non-stick surface.
• Copper Cookware
• How to Clean: Mix equal parts vinegar and salt or lemon juice with baking soda to form a paste. Apply to tarnished areas, scrub gently, and rinse well. Polish with a soft cloth to keep it shiny.
• Pressure Cookers
• How to Clean: Remove the gasket and wash it with warm, soapy water. For mineral buildup, boil a mixture of equal parts water and vinegar in the cooker for about 10 minutes, then rinse.
• For Tough Residue
• How to Clean: Soak pots and pans in warm, soapy water overnight. For tough stains, apply a paste of baking soda and water to the residue, let it sit for 30 minutes, then scrub off.

Storage Tips

To prevent rust, ensure all cookware is completely dry before storing. When stacking, place protective liners between items to avoid scratches.
