Pressure Cooking
Release the pressure using one of the following methods (refer to recipe):
7
Natural Release: Allow the cooker to cool down naturally until the float
valve drops down.
This may take 10 to 40 minutes, or even more, depending on the amount
of food in the cooker. Place a damp towel on the metal part of the lid to
speed up cooling (do not cover the steam release).
Quick Release: Turn the steam release handle to the Venting position to
let steam out until the float valve drops down. Never pull out the steam
release handle while releasing steam, as escaping steam is extremely hot
and can cause scalding. When cooking food with large liquid volume or
starch content, immediately turn the steam release handle back to the
Sealing position at the first sign of spattering. Quick Release should
ALWAYS be closely attended.
Do not place hand over
