How does Instant Pot depressurizes when it has finished cooking without releasing the steam. How long does this process take?
Instant Pot depressurizes by dissipating heat from the cover (specifically the metal parts). Depending on the volume of liquid in the cooking pot, it takes 8~25 minutes to depressurize naturally. The more liquid content, the longer it takes. Manual releasing the steam takes 60~90 seconds to depressurize.
