Pressure Cooker: How to Decide Whistles for Perfect Meals

• Pressure cooker whistle count depends on food type, soaking time, water quantity, and flame intensity.
• General whistle counts: Rice (1-2), Dal (2-3), Whole pulses (1-2), Chickpeas/Rajma (4-6), Mutton (5-7).
• Soaking ingredients reduces the required whistle count; unsoaked food needs more.
• Reduce flame after the first whistle for even cooking; do not open cooker immediately after whistles.
• Experienced cooks may rely on cooking time (e.g., 2-3 minutes per whistle) instead of just whistle count.
