We have a pressure cooker and you put about a 1/2 inch of water in the bottom, make sure the rack is in bottom under food. then put lid on tight and make sure the seal around the inside of the lid is still soft and movable this means it will seal properly and not leak out the hot air. once the steam starts to build up when it has been on the burner for a couple of minutes, steam should be coming out the center of the lid and there is a little valve that has a pin in the middle of it that will lift up when the pressure is high enough to cook the food, some times I have to tap it with a fork, once the little pin is sticking up by its self put the pressure cap on, ours has a little black stick in the middle that rises as the pressure builds and with practice I know that when I can see 2 rings on the black center then the potatoes are cooked. they can be a very great time safer but dangerous if not used correctly. once the desired amount of rings have raised turn off the heat. NOW DO NOT OPEN until the little silver pin lays flat in the lid again then you know the pressure has reduced enough to safely open the cooker. always open away for your face as it will still be very hot. hope this helps.
