Yes, it is excellent for cooking grains and beans quickly. Ensure you follow the recommended liquid ratios and cooking times for best results.

If the pressure regulator starts to rock or hiss excessively, it might indicate it's under too much pressure. Reduce the heat slightly. If steam escapes from the sides, the cooker has not reached full pressure, and you should check the lid seal and vents.

Ensure the lid is securely locked. Check that the rubber gasket is clean, properly seated, and not damaged. Verify that the pressure release valve is closed and free of debris. Make sure there is enough liquid inside the cooker (at least 250ml recommended).

This often indicates the pressure regulator or safety valve needs cleaning, or the gasket may be worn. Clean the relevant parts thoroughly. If the gasket is old or damaged, it may need replacement.

Ensure sufficient liquid was used. Avoid overheating the empty cooker. For very sticky foods, use the included trivet or steamer to keep food slightly elevated from the direct heat source.

This is normal for aluminium cookers and does not affect performance. To reduce discoloration, avoid using high heat on an empty pan and add a tablespoon of vinegar or lemon juice to the water when cooking starchy foods or boiling water.
