How long does this take to release the pressure when cooking is done?

I sent my unit back because it never would start the timer, as if it hadn't gotten to pressure. However, what was in there got cooked. Ok....if you just let the pressure go down by itself, it may take 15 minutes before it will unlock. Just keep in mind that it will continue to cook some during this process. If you want to lower the pressure quickly, and think it will be messy, you can hold paper towels loosely over the valve while you release it.

If you raise the little pressure valve in the cover to manually release the steam, it takes only a minute or two. I don't know how long it takes by not manually releasing the pressure,as we have not used that method.

A quick release only takes a minute or two. Letting the pressure come down naturally can take up to 20 minutes or more and a short quick release is still sometimes needed.

approximately between 15 & 20 minutes. But you can manually release it if you don't want to wait. It makes less mess in the lid if you let it slowly release rather than doing it manually.

SisterZ, I do not know the answer to that question, but if you go to www.missvickie.com, Vickie Smith will probably be able to help. She has a website dedicated entirely to pressure cooking. One of her services is to answer questions such as this. You could also try contacting the manufacturer of your range.

Not long, about 5-7 minutes. Put a timer on because the pot does not whistle and before you know it the pot is boiling.

It does not take much time. About 20 to 30 min for steam veggie. Same reason. To stops the microwave.

It means how long the cooker needs to get to operating pressure. The cooking time is 99 min max.

I think it's like 10 min, not for sure. I used a microwave steamer, steamer bag or the dishwasher. I didn't have time to wait around for water to boil etc.

Low pressure is generally around 5 psi, medium 10 psi, and high pressure 15 psi. Depending on altitude and food acid levels, the pressure and processing time is unique for each. We process our meats at 15 psi for around 95 minutes and our altitude is 1300 ft. above sea level. Meat being a low acid food. I would be using the high pressure setting of this device to process this adding about 5 minutes for each additional 1000 ft. above sea level. Hope this helps out and happy processing!

This is a pressure cooker, not a crock pot. The theory of a pressure cooker is that, under pressure, water's boiling point is much higher. So, it cooks very fast, perhaps 6-8 minutes of cook time, a few minutes to get to pressure. The result is as if the vegetables were steamed. Ideal for preserving flavors and nutrients in your foods. It is not a slow cooker, like a crockpot. It only cooks when it is sealed airtight.

HI! I would say about 10 minutes give or take! WONDERFUL deep fryer! The best home unit I have ever seen or had! If you purchase this, I believe you will be very happy with it! Hope this helps!

Yes, the same as Bruno answer. You also could just unplug the pressure cooker. If pressure is built up, you must wait until the pressure has released (by either moving the release value or just naturally letting the pressure go down).

According to the Product Description: "Fingertip touch controls include Low, High, and Warm cook settings, as well as Time Up or Time Down options for setting the cooking time from 30 minutes up to 20 hours." The unit will also go into a Warm setting for up to 6 hours after the time has ran out. So that is just barely into your minimum desired 24 hours. You might wish to do more research on the information you have that recommends 24-72 hours. Perhaps they can recommend a unit that can accomplish this. You could also look into pressure cooking, which uses pressure and heat to achieve some of the same results as slow cooking but in less time - up to a third of the time is the claim.

I use all my recipes with this Presure cooker. I time it to 1/4 of the time it would take to do on top of the stove or in the oven once the top starts rattling. Adjust times with microwave wattage

It takes roughly 3-5 mins after filling it up to build enough pressure. It's not quite continuous, you will eventually use up the built up steam and will need to wait a minute or two to allow up to build back up. This unit wasnt meant to be a continuous steamer, more of a spot cleaner.

Why would you want to set it in the morning and have it at night? Cooking rice only takes 7 or 8 minutes plus natural pressure release. And yes that is in the cusinart pressure cooker in the high pressure setting. Its a great unit Ray

Hi. I have never overshot the cooking time. There is also a "1 minute" button that I use more often. So if I need 4 minutes, I just press that button 4 times. I almost never use the knob actually.

Usually mine is done about 15 minutes after pouring it into the boiling water, depending on how hot the stove burner is.
