Thanks for the replies. I tried rice tonight and it turned out great. I think I'll use this pot a lot. I saw the Instant Cooker on sale at William Sonoma's last week with and extra 25% off, I thought what the heck I'll buy it.

Cooking rice in anything else is a waste of time.

Throw the rice and water in the pot. Plug it in. Snap on the lid and push the rice button.

As the timer counts up after cooking it is naturally releasing pressure. After about 10 minutes most of the pressure is gone.

The directions say: "If you don’t want to do a quick pressure release, that’s totally fine. You can just leave the eggs in there until the pressure cooker cools down naturally."

And: " It will take the cooker approximately 5 minutes to build to pressure and then 5 minutes to cook. I let the pressure naturally reduce for an additional 5 minutes after the cooking cycle completed, and then did a quick pressure release. That’s around 15 minutes, total."

I did a tough chunk of beef. I doubled the time and it was the best pot roast I've ever had at home.

After it cooks, it immediately switches to the keep warm setting and then the display starts counting up showing the number of minutes it has been done cooking.
