Recipe Note
- Add shredded parmesan cheese and extra black pepper on top for taste.
- When under pressure, ensure a light, steady steam is escaping from the steam outlet. If the pressure indicator button is raised too much and too much steam is escaping, simply lower the temperature. If the pressure indicator button is lowered and not enough steam has built, simply raise the temperature.
