End of Cooking Time
Releasing Pressure:
When cooking is completed, turn off heat source. Remove the
pressure cooker from heat source. Place on a suitable surface.
Release pressure using one of the following three options:
1. Let it cool down:
Wait until the safety valve/pressure indicator has completely
gone down and returned to the starting position. This is the
recommended method for foods that are mushy or tend to foam.
2. Gradual release of pressure:
Turn the pressure regulator
valve slowly to this position:
Warning:
Escaping steam is extremely hot.
The steam escapes vertically. Do not hold
your hands above the valve. Wait until all
the steam has escaped, and the safety
valve/pressure indicator has gone down and has returned to the
starting position. This method is not suitable for foods that are
mushy or tend to foam.
3. Quick release of pressure:
Carry the pot to the sink and let cold water
run over the lid, (but not the valve), letting
it run down the side of the pressure cooker
to cool it quickly.
