This is a set of two pots,one 4 quart and one 6 quart, and a single lid that fits either of them. Obviously, the smaller pot should be used when cooking smaller quantities of food.
I believe this is 6 quarts. It barely fits two quart jars placed sideways.


This has safety features, but as with all equipment, nothing is foolproof.

The big thing about this cooker seems to be making sure it doesn't run dry. You need at least a cup of water (probably an inch of water is better) in the bottom of the pot. It's also a good idea to have something separating the pot bottom from whatever you're cooking. I use canning rings and/or jar lids.

It's also a good idea to have something separating the pot bottom from any container separate from the pot. I use canning rings and/or jar lids. Otherwise simply put the food directly in the pot with sufficient cooking liquid.

Note

This is a set of two pots,one 4 quart and one 6 quart, and a single lid that fits either of them. Obviously, the smaller pot should be used when cooking smaller quantities of food.

This has safety features, but as with all equipment, nothing is foolproof.

  • The yellow dot above the handle pops up to lock the cooker close.
  • The relief valve is at 15psi - it's the pot icon.

The big thing about this cooker seems to be making sure it doesn't run dry. You need at least a cup of water (probably an inch of water is better) in the bottom of the pot. It's also a good idea to have something separating the pot bottom from any container separate from the pot. I use canning rings and/or jar lids. Otherwise simply put the food directly in the pot with sufficient cooking liquid.

  1. If cooking something in a container inside the pot (canning, for example), load the pot with something to prevent the food/jars/whatever from contacting the bottom. Canning rings, stones, aluminum foil balls, etc might all work. Load with at least 1 cup of water.
  2. Fill pot up to 2/3 full, no more. If cooking something that could foam up, like pasta, go no more than halfway to the top.
  3. Put food and cooking liquid in pot or load your interior cooking vessel.
  4. Push the purple lever forward.
  5. Turn the dial to the "pot" icon.
  6. Place on burner.
  7. If using on the small, single "burner" CookTek Magnawave Systems, what seems to work is to put it on high, until steam is escaping from the vent in front of the dial.
