Ya you should. I think many of us think it is similar to regular electric cooker but forgot to note it is "electric PRESSURE" cooker.

How does it work for different variety of pulses used in Indian cooking? For instance, I use x whistles in a conventional pressure cooker for one kind of daal vs y whistles for another kind. How well does the whistle semantic translate here?

Because here you have two settings/ways

1) Steam is contained inside and not released

2) Steam is released

So rather than x whistles it based on the time.

For example for one cup of Toor dal (Yellow peas / pigeon peas spilt ) we put it for 16minutes with steam valve closed.

so, its a trial and error way to figure out the time equivalent of whistles?

Already many people tried and have a pretty good documented time. So it will work.
