Releasing pressure
Natural Release (NR or NPR)
Cooking stops gradually. As the temperature within the multicooker drops, the Instant Pot
Pro depressurizes naturally over time.
What to do
After cooking finishes, leave
the quick release switch in the
Seal position until the float
valve drops into the lid.

Use NR to depressurize the multicooker after cooking high-starch foods (like
soups, stews, chilis, pasta, oatmeal and congee) or after cooking foods that
expand when cooked (like beans and grains).
Quick Release (QR or QPR)
Stops cooking quickly and prevents overcooking. Perfect for quick-cooking vegetables and
delicate seafood!
What to do
Move the quick release switch from Seal to
Vent and wait until the float valve drops
into the lid.

Your meal continues to cook even after the Smart
Program ends.
Instant Tip: This is called "carryover cooking" or "resting", and
it's great for large cuts of meat.
The depressurization time may vary based upon the
volume, type and temperature of food and liquid.
Unless you use QuickCool™ technology, NR can take
up to 40 minutes with some dishes, so plan ahead —
it's well worth the wait!
See QuickCool to find out how to naturally release
pressure faster than ever before!
NOTICE
When the steam release cover is installed
properly, you'll hear a muffled hiss as
steam hits the cover and disperses.
If the cover is not installed properly, a loud
jet of steam will eject through the top of
the steam release valve.
