Pressure Release Styles
Your MultiPot 2.0 supports three pressure release styles: Natural, Quick, and Auto. After you
select a program you can adjust the pressure release style by pressing the Pressure Release
button:
Natural:
When Natural release is selected, pressure releases on its own, which can take
anywhere from 5 to 30 minutes. Natural release is ideal for foods that will toughen if using
quick release, such as stew meats or roasts - these foods can get tough. When the red
float descends to its down position the lid will unlock. Never attempt to force the lid open
before the float falls to its original position.
Quick:
When Quick release is selected, pressure releases at a quicker pace, which can
take a few seconds or up to 2 minutes. Steam will briefly release, then pause, then release
again after a few seconds until all steam is released from the pot. Quick release is great
for foods that need to stop cooking right away, like hard or soft boiled eggs. When the red
float descends to its down position the lid will unlock. Never attempt to force the lid open
before the float falls to its original position.
Auto:
When Auto is selected, steam is released at regular programmed intervals, which
can take several seconds to 3 minutes. This is ideal for foods that foam, such as rice, soups,
and beans. When the red float descends to its down position the lid will unlock. Never
attempt to force the lid open before the float falls to its original position.
Manual Pressure Release
You can manually release steam from your MultiPot 2.0 by completing the following steps:
1. Press Cancel to stop the cooking cycle.
2. Press Pressure Release once to relieve a short burst of steam. Press and hold Pressure
Release for at least 3 seconds to have steam release continuously.
CAUTION
Never attempt to force the lid open before the float falls to its original position.
