RELEASING PRESSURE
Natural release (NR or NPR)
Cooking stops gradually. As the temperature within the multicooker drops, the Instant Pot
Pro depressurises naturally over time.
What to do What to expect
After cooking fi nishes, leave
the quick release switch in the
Seal position until the fl oat
valve drops into the lid.
Your meal continues to cook even after the Smart
Programme ends.
Instant tip: This is called “carryover cooking” or
“resting”, and it’s great for large cuts of meat.
The depressurisation 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 fi nd out how to naturally release
pressure faster than ever before!
NOTICE
Use NR to depressurise 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 What to expect
Move the quick release switch from
Seal to Vent and wait until the fl oat
valve drops into the lid.
When the steam release cover is installed
properly, you’ll hear a muffl ed 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.
