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
