Notes:

1Natural Release Method.  To use this method, remove the pressure cooker from the hot burner and let the pressure drop by cooling down naturally.

2Quick Release Method.  Also called the cold-water release method, is used to release pressure quickly.  To use this method, remove the pressure cooker from the burner, place in the sink and run cold tap water gently over the lid until steam dissipates and the pressure indicator is lowered.  When putting the pressure cooker in the sink, tilt the handle up so the water flows away from you.

3Automatic Release Method.  Turn the pressure selector dial on the lid to the release position and the steam will release.
