6- & 8-Quart Emeril Lagasse Pressure Air Fryer™

Releasing Pressure After Pressure Cooking
To use rapid release, once the active cooking
cycle is complete, cancel the cooking cycle
by pressing the Cancel Button. Then, slide the
Steam Release Switch to the Open position, let
go of the Steam Release Switch, and wait for the
steam to evacuate. Once the steam has been
released, the Pressure Lid will slide open freely.
The rapid release process requires an extra degree
of care because a burst of steam is released through
the Pressure Release Valve. Rapid release takes no
more than a few minutes and works best with foods
like eggs, vegetables, or delicate ingredients that
do not benefit from any extra cooking time. This
method is also helpful when you need to check the
doneness of food or to add additional ingredients to
the Emeril Lagasse Pressure Air Fryer, such as when
cooking a stew.
Avoid using rapid release when cooking foods that
foam, froth, or increase in volume, such as legumes,
or foods that are mostly liquid, such as soup,
because the liquid can boil up and vent through
the Pressure Release Valve.
