5.4. Rilascioasing Pressione

Esistono generalmente due metodi per la releasinpressione g:

• Rilascio naturale: Remove the cooker from the heat source and allow it to cool down naturally. The pressure indicator will drop on its own. This method is ideal for foods that benefit from continued cooking or for foamy foods.
• Rilascio rapido: For faster pressure release, carefully position the cooker under a cold water tap, allowing water to run over the lid (avoiding the steam valve). Alternatively, use the vertical steam discharge valve to release steam gradually. Always direct steam away from your face and body.
