3. Wait until the safety float valve has
gone down before removing the
cover. Always lift the cover away
from you to release any remaining
steam so that you do not get
burned.
Normal Method
Allowing the steam to release naturally
is preferred when cooking foods like
stocks, sauces and certain large cuts of
meat which will benefit from continuing
to cook in the pressure cooker. As the
temperature decreases, so does the
pressure.
