3-PRONG GROUNDED TYPE PLUG  
This appliance is equipped with a grounded type 3-wire cord (3-prong plug).  
This plug will only fit into an electrical outlet made for a 3-prong plug. This is a  
safety feature. If the plug should fail to fit the outlet, contact an electrician to  
replace the obsolete outlet. Do not attempt to defeat the safety purpose of the  
Grounding Pin part of the 3-prong plug.  
SHORT CORD INSTRUCTIONS  
A short power supply cord is provided to reduce the risk resulting from  
becoming entangled in or tripping over a longer cord.  
Longer detachable power-supply cords or extension cords are available and  
may be used if care is exercised in their use.  
If a longer detachable power-supply or extension cord is used, (1) the marked  
electrical rating of the cord set or extension cord should be at least as great  
as the electrical rating of the appliance, and (2) the cord should be arranged  
so that it will not drape over the countertop or tabletop where it can be pulled  
on by children or tripped over accidentally.  
The extension cord should be a grounding-type 3-wire cord.  
ELECTRIC POWER  
If the electric circuit is overloaded with other appliances, your appliance may  
not operate. It should be operated on a separate electrical circuit.  
PLASTICIZER WARNING  
CAUTION: To prevent Plasticizers to migrate from the finish of the counter  
top or table top or other furniture, place NON-PLASTIC coasters or placemats  
between the appliance and the finish of the counter top or table top.  
Failure to do so may cause the finish to darken, permanent blemishes may  
occur or stains can appear.

A NOTE REGARDING YOUR NUTRITIONIST by RUSSELL HOBBS  
PROGRAMMABLE ELECTRIC PRESSURE COOKER  
Congratulations on your purchase of the Nutritionist® Programmable Electric  
Pressure Cooker featuring a Removable Cooking Pot with a non-stick interior  
finish. The special coating on the Removable Cooking Pot has been designed  
to add durability and ease of use and cleaning. It has been specially formulat-  
ed for selected premium performance appliances.  
The interior finish offers increased scratch and abrasion protection, while still  
maintaining the convenience of non-stick cooking and easy cleaning. It is  
great for the health conscious, allowing you to cook without fats or oils.  
Care and cleaning of your Programmable Electric Pressure Cooker is a snap.  
Washing or rinsing with warm, soapy water and a sponge or a cloth is all that  
is needed. Do not use steel wool, course scouring pads or harsh abrasives on  
any non-stick surface. Not only are they unnecessary, but they may damage  
the coating.

Introduction  
d e l ’ a u t o c u i s e u r p r  
m i t é e .  
Congratulations! You are about to learn how to cook and prepare deli-  
cious, home made meals in a fraction of the time it normally takes, without  
sacrificing flavor or nutrition. Your Nutritionist® Programmable Pressure  
d i f  
Cooker is quick, safe and easy to use. And best of all, it can shorten the  
E L A Y T I M E e t S T A R T / S T O P  
n n e à r l « ’ a f traditional cooking time of most foods by up to 70 percent.

times. Since an air tight seal is formed when the Lid is closed and  
( D E L A  
locked, the heat and steam stay trapped inside the Removable  
e s d u T E M P S D E C U I S S O N ( C O O K T I M E ) e t d e l a C U I S S O N  
Cooking Pot. As the steam builds and the pressure rises, the cooking  
i m e n t s t e l s q u e d e s l é g u m e s , d e s c r u s t a c é s e t m ê m e d u r i z .  
temperature will get as hot as 250º F, which is 38º F hotter than when  
n s l e r é c i p i e n t a m o v i b l e p o u r c u i r  
food is cooked in a standard pot with liquid. This combination of high  
heat and pressure cooks the food faster while retaining water soluble

nutrients and flavor.

temperature and pressure you are able to reduce the cooking time of most  
foods by up to 70 percent.  
1. Place the Removable Cooking Pot in the Cool-to-the-Touch Housing.  
Brown ingredients, if you wish, then add remaining ingredients.  
2. Add at least 1 cup (8 ounces) of liquid to the Removable Cooking Pot  
when cooking under pressure. Do not fill the Removable Cooking Pot  
more than one-third full when cooking dried beans and legumes; no  
more than half full when cooking soups and stews; and no higher than  
the MAX Fill Line when cooking vegetables or whole pieces of meat.

s l u m i n e u x c l i g n o t e n t p l u s r a p i d e m e n t à m e s u r  
Release or Quick Steam Release feature.  
g p n o o u t e r r l a . b a s s e p r  
10. The Natural Release Feature is preferred when cooking foods like  
z s o u s h a u t e p r  
stocks, sauces, and certain large cuts of meat which will benefit from  
u r S S i T A R T / S T O P  
continued cooking in the Pressure Cooker as the pressure and tem-  
perature drop naturally as the unit cools. DO NOT use with foods that  
t e i n t e e t n e c o m p r  
can over-cook easily and quickly. When pressure is completely  
c u i s s o n d é b u t e à p a r t i r d u m o m e n t o ù l a  
released, the Pressure Indicator Rod will drop.  
11. To release pressure immediately after cooking, use the Quick Steam  
l o n l e s i n d i c a t i o n s d e l a r  
Release Feature. Press the QUICK STEAM RELEASE Button in short  
u r C O O K T I M E  
bursts only, until pressure is reduced – steam will stop coming out of  
u t e p r  
the Steam Release Valve and the Pressure Indicator Rod will drop.

o u B A S S E p r  
CAUTION: Escaping steam is very hot. To avoid serious injuries or  
a t o u c h e P R E S S U R E M O D E  
burns, keep bare skin, face and eyes away from the Steam Release  
Valve.  
u r d e p r  
K .  
o u v e r  
CAUTION: When preparing recipes with a high volume of liquid,  
some liquid may spurt through the vent when you use the Quick  
Steam Release Feature. If this happens, allow the pressure to  
come down naturally, or wait for a minute, then resume releasing  
the steam in very short bursts.

Cooking with Your Pressure Cooker (Cont.)  
PRESSURE COOKING (Continued)  
12. Once pressure is released, regardless of method, slide the Safety Lock to  
UNLOCK. Remove the Lid, tilting it away from you to avoid steam. Check  
the food to see if it has been cooked sufficiently. If not, replace the Lid  
and slide the Safety Lock to LOCK. Repeat PRESSURE COOKING Steps  
4-8, cooking under pressure an additional 2 to 3 minutes.  
13. To pressure cook foods like vegetables, add water to the Removable  
Cooking Pot. Place a small heat resistant steaming rack or basket (NOT  
INCLUDED) in the Removable Cooking Pot. Place the food on the rack.  
For best results, do not overfill or pack the food down. Follow the same  
procedure for cooking under pressure, see PRESSURE COOKING Steps  
3-8. Use the Quick Steam Release Feature for releasing the pressure.  
14. Since steam is hotter than boiling water, always take care when opening  
the appliance after cooking under pressure. Never place your face over  
the Pressure Cooker when removing the Lid. Also, be aware that hot, boil-  
ing liquid increases in volume when under pressure.  
CAUTION: Never attempt to open the Pressure Cooker before the red  
Pressure Indicator Rod has dropped.  
When opening the Pressure Cooker after making soups and stock, let the  
food sit several minutes before releasing the pressure and removing the  
Lid to make sure the hot liquid will not boil over.  
15. Since overcooked food cannot be corrected, it is advisable to err on the  
undercooked side by cooking an unfamiliar food for a shorter period of  
time than you may think necessary. You can always go back and continue  
cooking under pressure a minute or two longer if need be (see PRES-  
SURE COOKING Steps 4-8).  
®
16. It is easy to adapt your favorite recipe for use in the Nutritionist  
Programmable Pressure Cooker. For the most part, soups, stews, braised  
and slow roasted meats and legumes, steamed and braised vegetables,  
and slow-simmered recipes like tomato sauce, provide the best results.  
Instructions and timing charts for cooking commonly prepared foods  
under pressure can be found in the following Section.  
Bear in mind that the amount of cooking liquid used when adapting a  
recipe will be much less since you will be cooking in a sealed pot for a  
much shorter time. You must, however, use sufficient liquid, since the  
Pressure Cooker is constantly building steam during the entire cooking  
process. If you run out of liquid, and continue cooking, the food will not  
cook properly and may burn. While there is no universal guide for adapt-  
ing recipes, trial and error will come into play until you understand how a  
Pressure Cooker cooks.  
When adapting other pressure cooker recipes, use the HIGH PRESSURE  
Mode and cook for the shortest amount of time you expect it might take.  
If food is not fully cooked, replace the Lid, and slide the Safety Lock to the  
LOCK position. Repeat PRESSURE COOKING Steps 4-8, cooking under  
pressure until done.

Cooking Times and Basic Instructions  
In the following pages you'll find all the information you need for preparing a wide vari-  
ety of ingredients in your Nutritionist® Programmable Electric Pressure Cooker.  
NOTE: Unlike the microwave, pressure-cooking time does not increase when quantity  
increases. In other words, whether you cook 1 pound or 2 pounds of chicken drum-  
sticks, timing will remain 12 minutes.  
The only exception to this rule is when the size of individual ingredients increase. For  
example, a 3-pound pot roast takes 60 minutes while a 5-pound pot roast takes 80  
minutes, and a large potato takes longer to cook than a small potato.

GENERAL TIPS FOR COOKING BEANS  
i l e v é g é t a l e  
• Set dried beans in a strainer or colander and rinse well. Discard any broken beans.  
• Pre-soaking beans is optional, but encourages more even cooking and aids

Strained bean b oth may be used as a base for soups and stews.  
• Since the time required to cook beans varies from batch to batch, it is best to do the

GRAINS  
Whole grains cook so quickly in the Pressure Cooker that they can become a regular  
part of your diet. Here are a few things to keep in mind:  
• Timing varies from one batch of grains to the next, depending upon age and storage  
conditions. So it is wise to do the majority of cooking under pressure and then do  
any additional cooking, if needed, on the STEAM setting. Remember that whole  
grains such as wheat berries and brown rice always remain a bit chewy, even when  
thoroughly cooked.  
• Grains that have the same cooking time may be cooked together.  
• Leftover grains may be frozen in convenient portion sizes. Defrost them in the  
microwave.  
v a g e  
PRECAUTIONS WHEN COOKING GRAINS  
d e s e i g l e  
• When cooking grains alone (rather than in a soup or stew), never fill Pressure Cooker  
d e b l é  
more than one-third full.  
TO CONTROL FOAMING AS GRAINS COOK, ALWAYS ADD 1 TABLESPOON OF  
OIL PER CUP OF DRIED GRAINS TO THE COOKING LIQUID.  
• Do not cook more than 2 cups of dried grains at a time.  
• Clean the Pressure Regulator Knob, Steam Release Valve, Safety Valves and Rubber  
Gasket thoroughly after cooking grains.

Basic Instructions (Cont.)  
BASIC RECIPE FOR GRAINS  
This recipe calls for cooking grains in a fair amount of water, then draining off the  
excess. This approach accommodates the fact that no two batches of grains absorb  
the same amount of liquid. This recipe calls for 2 cups of dry grain which yields about  
4 1/2 cups cooked. You may cut this recipe in half, if you wish, but DO NOT COOK  
MORE THAN THIS AMOUNT.  
2 cups grains  
6 1/2 cups water  
2 tablespoons taste-free oil, such as canola  
1/2 teaspoon salt (optional)  
1. Place grains, water, oil, and salt (if using) in the Removable Cooking Pot.  
2. Pull Lid Handles apart and set Lid on Pressure Cooker. Slide Safety Lock to LOCK  
position. Point Pressure Regulator Knob to PRESSURE.  
3. Set Pressure Mode for HIGH and COOK TIME according to type of grain (see pre-  
vious chart). Press the START/STOP Button to begin operation.  
4. When Pressure Cooker beeps three times, STOP Light will illuminate.  
5. Quickly release pressure by pressing QUICK STEAM RELEASE Button in short  
bursts. If liquid spurts from the regulator vent, wait a few seconds before continu-  
ing to release pressure.  
6. If grains are not sufficiently tender, add a bit more water if mixture seems dry, and  
steam until done.  
7. Use a ladle to transfer grains to a colander to drain. Bounce colander up and down  
a few times to release excess liquid. For drier, fluffier grains, transfer grains to a  
bowl and cover tightly with plastic wrap. Set aside for 10 minutes, then fluff.  
FRUIT  
The Pressure Cooker is good for stewing dried fruits or making quick compotes. You  
can also make a variety of recipes using fresh fruit, including whole, stuffed fresh  
apples, or wine-poached pears.  
DRIED FRUIT  
• Consult the following chart and use minimum timing for moist dried fruit and maxi-  
mum timing if fruit is leathery and dry.  
You can mix fruits that have different cooking times if you don't mind that quicker-  
cooking fruits will become very soft.  
You can combine dried and fresh fruit in a compote, but keep in mind that the fresh  
fruit is likely to "melt down" into a sauce.  
• If you wish, add a few tablespoons of fruit liquor before or after cooking.  
• Do not cook dates under pressure as they dissolve into mush.  
• Do not fill Pressure Cooker more than half full.

• For best flavor and texture, use ripe fruit that is still firm.  
You can cook fruit in a steaming basket or directly in the liquid.  
• When cooking fruit directly in liquid, you may use wine instead of water.  
• When cooking stuffed apples and Anjou pears, wrap them in aluminum foil to main-  
tain their shape and keep their skins intact.  
To maintain shape, cook Bosc pears with peels intact; it is easy to slip peels off after  
cooking.  
• When preparing foil-wrapped fruit, do not fill Pressure Cooker more than half full.  
When preparing unwrapped fruit, do not fill more than one-third full.

SMOKEY BLACK BEAN SOUP (22 minutes, high pressure)  
Use either homemade unsalted chicken broth or low-sodium canned as the smoked  
ham hock and chorizo sausage usually provide sufficient salt for the entire soup.  
1 tablespoon olive oil  
3 cups coarsely chopped onions  
1 tablespoon minced garlic  
2 teaspoons whole cumin seeds  
1 tablespoon dried oregano leaves  
1 tablespoon sweet paprika  
4 cups water  
4 cups unsalted or low-sodium chicken broth or additional water  
1 pound (2 1/2 cups) dried black beans, picked over and rinsed  
1 meaty smoked ham hock or turkey drumstick  
1/2 pound chorizo or kielbasa sausage, halved lengthwise, then cut into  
1/2-inch slices  
2 large green bell peppers, seeded and diced  
3 large bay leaves  
2 tablespoons dry sherry  
Salt to taste  
Optional garnishes: chopped cilantro, diced tomato and/or avocado  
1. Press COOK MODE Button until the Red Indicator Light next to BROWN is lit.  
Press the START/STOP Button until the Green START Indicator Light illuminates  
and the Red BROWN Indicator Light flashes. Heat oil in Pressure Cooker. Add  
onions, cook, stirring frequently, for 1 minute. Add garlic, cumin, and oregano.  
Cook onions about 2 minutes more. Turn off heat, stir in paprika. Immediately  
transfer onion mixture to a small bowl and set aside.  
2. Add water, broth, beans, ham hock, sausage, peppers, bay leaves to Pressure  
Cooker.  
3. Pull Lid Handles apart and set Lid on Pressure Cooker. Slide Safety Lock to  
LOCK position. Point Pressure Regulator Knob to PRESSURE.  
4. Set PRESSURE MODE for HIGH and COOK TIME for 22 minutes. Press START  
Button.  
5. When Pressure Cooker beeps three times, STOP Light will illuminate. Allow pres-  
sure to come down naturally for 10 minutes. Quickly release any remaining pres-  
sure by holding down QUICK STEAM RELEASE Button until red Pressure  
Indicator Rod drops.  
6. Slide Safety Lock to UNLOCK. Pull Lid Handles apart and remove Lid.  
7. Remove ham hock and bay leaves. Stir in onion mixture and sherry. Add salt to  
taste. Press COOK MODE Button until the Red Indicator Light next to BROWN  
is lit. Press the START/STOP Button until the Green START Indicator Light illumi-  
nates and the Red BROWN Indicator Light flashes. Boil uncovered, stirring occa-  
sionally, for 5 minutes (or longer, if needed, for beans to become very tender.)  
8. Meanwhile, chop meat from ham hock (there won't be much) and add it to  
soup. Soup will thicken as it stands, but if you wish to thicken it immediately,  
mash about a cupful of beans against side of Pressure Cooker, blend mash into  
soup.  
9. Garnish individual portions with cilantro, diced tomatoes and/or avocados, if you  
wish.

BRISKET IN BARBECUE SAUCE (70 minutes, high pressure)  
Here's a recipe for fork-tender brisket in record time. Your favorite barbecue  
sauce will provide so much flavor that it's not necessary to brown the meat.  
Be forewarned: the brisket will shrink about 25%.  
For best results, cook the brisket a day in advance and refrigerate the sliced  
meat and sauce overnight in separate containers. Remove the congealed fat  
from the sauce and reheat in a covered pot by simmering the slices and pota-  
toes in the sauce. Just before serving, thicken sauce as described in Step 8  
below.  
1 tablespoon olive oil  
1 1/2 pounds onions, peeled and cut into thick slices  
3 large green bell peppers, seeded and cut into 1-inch slices  
1/2 cup beef broth or water  
4 1/2-pound boneless beef brisket, trimmed  
1 1/4 cups store bought barbecue sauce  
6 to 8 large potatoes, scrubbed and halved  
3 tablespoons quick-cooking polenta or cornstarch  
Salt and freshly ground black pepper  
1. Press COOK MODE Button until the Red Indicator Light next to BROWN is  
lit. Press the START/STOP Button until the Green START Indicator Light  
illuminates and the Red BROWN Indicator Light flashes. Heat oil in  
Pressure Cooker. Add onions and cook, stirring frequently, until they soften  
slightly, about 2 minutes.  
2. Add peppers and broth and set brisket on top. Pour barbecue sauce over  
brisket. Arrange potatoes over and around brisket.  
3. Pull Lid Handles apart and set Lid on Pressure Cooker. Slide Safety Lock  
to LOCK position. Point Pressure Regulator Knob to PRESSURE.  
4. Set PRESSURE MODE for HIGH and COOK TIME for 70 minutes. Press  
START Button.  
5. When Pressure Cooker beeps three times, STOP Light will illuminate.  
Allow pressure to come down naturally for at least 15 minutes. If you wish,  
quick-release any remaining pressure by holding down QUICK STEAM  
RELEASE Button until red Pressure Indicator Rod drops.  
6. Slide Safety Lock to UNLOCK. Pull Lid Handles apart and remove Lid.  
7. Transfer potatoes to a platter and cover with foil. Set brisket on a cutting  
board. Let cool slightly before slicing on the bias.  
8. If serving immediately, strain cooking broth into a gravy separator and  
degrease. Return to Pressure Cooker along with vegetable solids. Press  
COOK MODE Button until the Red Indicator Light next to BROWN is lit.  
Press the START/STOP Button until the Green START Indicator Light illu-  
minates and the Red BROWN Indicator Light flashes. If using polenta, stir  
it directly into sauce. If using cornstarch, dissolve it in 1/2 cup sauce and  
then stir mixture into remaining sauce in pot. Cook, stirring frequently, until  
sauce thickens, 1 to 3 minutes.  
9. Arrange sliced brisket on platter along with potatoes. Pour some sauce on  
top and pass remaining sauce at the table.

LEMON CHEESECAKE (35 minutes, high pressure)  
To make this dense and delicious cheesecake, you'll need a 7-inch springform  
pan and aluminum foil (preferably extra-wide, heavy duty).  
Butter for greasing springform pan  
1/2 cup chocolate cookie or graham cracker crumbs  
Two 8-ounce packages Philadelphia cream cheese (see Cook's Notes below)  
1 cup sugar  
1/2 cup sour cream or plain yogurt  
2 tablespoons flour  
Zest of 1 large lemon  
2 1/2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice  
3 large eggs  
Garnishes: sliced strawberries, blueberries, or raspberries  
1. Liberally butter springform pan. Coat sides with cookie crumbs and spread  
remaining crumbs evenly on bottom. Set aside.  
2. In a food processor, blend cream cheese, sugar, sour cream, lemon zest  
and juice. Scrape down sides of bowl. Add eggs and process just until  
blended in.  
3. Pour mixture into prepared pan. Place pan in center of a sheet of aluminum  
foil about 2 1/2 feet long. (If not heavy duty, use a double layer.) Press foil  
tightly against sides of pan. Bring two longer ends up to meet, then fold  
over to seal, creating a tent to allow space on top for cheesecake to puff  
up. Use another sheet of foil, if needed, so that pan and cheesecake are  
entirely enclosed.  
4. Set rack in Pressure Cooker and gently place pan on top. Pour in enough  
water to reach halfway up sides of pan.  
5. Pull Lid Handles apart and set Lid on Pressure Cooker. Slide Safety Lock to  
LOCK position. Point Pressure Regulator Knob to PRESSURE.  
6. Set PRESSURE MODE for HIGH and COOK TIME for 35 minutes. Press  
START Button.  
7. When Pressure Cooker beeps three times, STOP Light will illuminate. Allow  
pressure to come down naturally until red Pressure Indicator Rod drops,  
about 20 minutes.  
8. Slide Safety Lock to UNLOCK. Pull Lid Handles apart and remove Lid.  
9. Let cheesecake cool for a few minutes, then transfer to a cooling rack set  
over a plate to catch dripping water. Open foil seal. Use a paper towel to  
blot up any moisture on top of cheesecake. While cheesecake is still hot,  
gently smooth off top if necessary.  
10. When cooled to room temperature, cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate  
at least 6 hours or overnight. (You may also freeze for up to 2 months.)  
When ready to serve, release and remove sides of springform pan. Leave  
base in place and set cheesecake on a platter. Arrange berries decoratively  
on top.  
Serves 8  
Cook's Notes: This recipe was tested with traditional cream cheese and sour  
cream. Low-fat or fat-free versions may prevent the cheesecake from setting  
properly.
