Releasing pressure
Natural Release (NR or NPR)
Cooking stops gradually. As the temperature within the multicooker drops, the Instant Pot
Pro Crisp depressurizes naturally over time.
What to do What to expect
After cooking nishes, leave
the quick release switch in the
Seal position until the oat
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 nd out how to naturally release
pressure faster than ever before!
NOTICE
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 What to expect
Move the quick release switch from Seal
to Vent and wait until the oat valve drops
into the lid.
Vent position
When the steam release cover is installed
properly, you’ll hear a mufed 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.
