How do I build pressure in my Fagor Electric Pressure Cooker?
In order for the unit to build pressure, the cooking liquid in the pot has to be brought to a boil with the lid positioned in place and the pressure regulator knob turned to “Pressure”. As the cooking liquid begins to boil, steam is produced. The trapped steam will build up and compress, creating pressure. As pressure builds, the pressure regulator valve will activate and release the right amount of steam to maintain the correct pressure within the cooker.
