Time to pressure will vary based on quantity
and temperature of ingredients, along with
selected pressure level, and can take upwards
of 20 minutes.
Natural release is used for large or delicate foods
and any starchy ingredients.
Quick release is used for smaller foods or
ingredients that are sensitive to overcooking.
DO NOT quick release pressure when cooking
starchy or foamy foods. To quick release the
pressure, turn the Pressure Release Valve to the
VENT position and allow pressure to release
until the float valve drops
Note: Steam exits from the top of the pressure
release valve. DO NOT reach over the valve.
If the unit is not coming to pressure, check
that the silicone ring is fully installed by
pressing it into place all around the metal
ring rack. (See image below.)

Pressure Cooking Tips
Helpful Hints
To convert oven recipes, use the
Bake/Roast function and reduce
the cook temperature by 25F.
Any liquid can be used for pressure
cooking. Use broths or sauces instead
of water to infuse additional flavor.
Always use at least 2 cups of liquid
for pressure cooking.
When switching from the pressure
lid to the crisping lid after pressure
cooking, empty the pot of any
remaining liquid for best crisping
results.

Why are there 2 lids?
We’re glad you asked. The 2-lid
design allows you to pressure cook
and crisp in the same pot.
Use both lids to unlock a world
of delicious, TenderCrisp meals.
