Hi ljshee,

We get this question a lot but unfortunately, neither of us has a safety valve cooker…all of them whistle! The best thing to do is experiment (with smaller portions so you don’t waste much). As a guideline, you can use 1 minute (after full pressure is attained) per 1 whistle and go up from there.

Hi Hetal
I am enjoying your web site so much! I have gone out and purchased a pressure cooker.
My pressure cooker does not whistle it has a safety valve release instead.
My question is, how long is two whistles? I don’t want to overcook the dal.
thank you so much for your help and wonderful site

Hi Kay,
