NATURAL & QUICK RELEASE
Once the Nutri-Pot
®
has finished cooking, the unit beeps to let you know the
current cooking cycle is finished. Then, you will need to release pressure,
either by performing a quick release or a natural release and quick release
combination (allowing the pressure cooker to release pressure naturally first
and then using a quick release to allow all remaining pressure and steam to
escape before opening).
When performing a natural release it is recommended to unplug the unit. The
time necessary to naturally release pressure can vary depending on the model,
ingredients, and quantity of ingredients used.
The average times for allowing the Nutri-Pot Pressure Cookers to naturally
release pressure are as follows:
For the 6-quart Nutri-Pot: 35 minutes*
For the 8-quart Nutri-Pot: 40 minutes*
For the 10-quart Nutri-Pot: 42 minutes*
For the 13-quart Nutri-Pot: 48 minutes*
* These times can vary depending on the model, ingredients, and quantity of
ingredients used. Always perform a quick release on the Nutri-Pot Pressure
Cooker AFTER performing a natural release.
ALWAYS PERFORM A QUICK RELEASE AFTER THE COMPLETION
OF A NATURAL RELEASE AND DO SO UNTIL ALL STEAM/PRESSURE
IS OUT. DO NOT ATTEMPT TO OPEN the pressure cooker if there is any
resistance or if the Floater Valve or Pressure Indicator is still up, indicating
that there is still steam/pressure remaining inside the unit. Also, do not
overfill the Inner Pot past the
maximum
fill line, as food expanding while
cooking can clog the Pressure Release Valve resulting in excess pressure
or incorrect pressure readings.
For rice, beans, and grains, do not fill more than half full.
For soups, sauces, and broths do not fill more than ¾ full.
Please refer to the max fill lines in the inner pot.
