Depressurising the Cooker
Always follow recipe instructions for depressurising the cooker.
Venting Methods
Once cooking completes, there are several methods to release pressure:
Natural Release (NR)
Leave the quick release switch in the
Seal
position. The cooker dissipates
heat so pressure releases naturally over time.
Quick Release (QR)
Move the quick release switch from
Seal
to
Vent
. Steam is released continuously
through the top of the steam release valve.
Note:
It will be loud!
If spatter occurs, move the quick release switch back to
Seal
and try again after
a few minutes. If spatter continues, use NR to vent remaining pressure.
NOTICE
Use NR to depressurise the cooker after cooking high-starch foods (e.g., soups, stews,
chilis, pasta, oatmeal and congee) or after cooking foods that expand when cooked
(e.g., beans and grains).
NOTICE
Do not use QR when cooking high-starch foods (e.g., stews, chilis, pasta and congee)
or when cooking foods that expand when cooked (e.g., beans and grains).
