Alternatively, for faster release, follow specific instructions in your recipe or product guide for quick pressure release methods, ensuring safety.
- Opening the Lid: Once the pressure indicator has dropped, you can safely open the lid by disengaging the lock mechanism.
5.2. Using the Toughened Glass Lid
The toughened glass lid can be used when you wish to cook without pressure, or for serving food directly from the cooker body. Simply place it on the cooker body as you would with a regular pot lid.
