DO NOT use QR when cooking fatty, oily, thick or high-starch foods (e.g., stews,
chilis, pasta and congee) or when cooking foods that expand when cooked (e.g.,
beans and grains).
If you see a lot of spatter while releasing pressure, touch the Venting field to return to
Natural, then touch Start. Wait a few minutes before trying to release pressure again. If spatter
continues, use NR to safely release the remaining pressure.
Pulse release
When cooking completes, the Pro Plus releases timed bursts of steam to release pressure
– perfect for rice, grains, and much more.
