Pressure control features
QuickCool™
For the fastest Natural Release after pressure cooking, use the QuickCool tray*.
What we love about it
It's a huge timer saver — you can release
pressure naturally up to 50% faster!
To use the QuickCool tray, fill it with ice or water and freeze it. Once frozen, remove the
protective cover from the pressure cooking lid, and position the QuickCool tray on the
exposed metal of the lid.
When the float valve to drops into the lid, remove the QuickCool tray, discard the water
and open the lid. Use caution when removing the tray as some or all of the ice may have
melted.
*QuickCool tray sold separately at store.instantpot.com.
The lid will be hot during and after cooking. Do not touch the exposed metal with
bare skin to avoid injury.
Quick release switch
The quick release switch controls the steam release valve — the part that releases pressure.
What we love about it
It's super easy to use, and keeps our
hands far away from the steam when the
multicooker is releasing pressure!

What you should know about it
The metal portion of the lid gets
extremely hot, so don't remove the
protective cover unless you're using
QuickCool.
CAUTION
What you should know about it
It automatically sets to Seal when you
close the lid, so make sure to move it to
Vent when you're not pressure cooking.
