NATURAL & QUICK RELEASE
Once the Nutri-Pot
®
has nished cooking, the unit beeps to let you know the
current cooking cycle is nished. Then, you will need to release pressure,
either by performing a quick release or a natural release and quick release
combination (allowing the pressure cooker to release pressure naturally rst
and then using a quick release to allow all remaining pressure and steam to
escape before opening).
When performing a natural release, it is recommended to unplug the unit. The
time necessary to naturally release pressure can vary depending on the model,
ingredients, and quantity of ingredients used.
The average times for allowing the Nutri-Pot Pressure Cookers to
naturally release pressure are as follows:
For the 6-quart Nutri-Pot: 35 minutes*
For the 8-quart Nutri-Pot: 40 minutes*
For the 10-quart Nutri-Pot: 42 minutes*
For the 13-quart Nutri-Pot: 48 minutes*
* These times can vary depending on the model, ingredients, and quantity of
ingredients used. Always perform a quick release on the Nutri-Pot Pressure
Cooker AFTER performing a natural release.
ALWAYS PERFORM A QUICK RELEASE AFTER THE COMPLETION
OF A NATURAL RELEASE AND DO SO UNTIL ALL STEAM/PRESSURE
IS OUT. DO NOT ATTEMPT TO OPEN the pressure cooker if there is any
resistance or if the Floater Valve is still up, indicating that there is still steam/
pressure remaining inside the unit. Also, do not overll the Inner Pot past the
maximum ll line, as food expanding while cooking can clog the Pressure
Release Valve resulting in excess pressure or incorrect pressure readings.
For rice, beans, and grains, do not ll more than half full.
For soups, sauces, and broths do not ll more than ¾ full.
Please refer to the max ll lines in the inner pot.
