The following cooking times will vastly differ
depending on size, age and type of potato you
use. The following cooking times are based on
second red ring using the Natural Release
Method, when cooking time is reached.
When cooking larger potatoes, pressure
may drop below 2nd red ring after the initial heat
adjustment on the stove. We suggest not adjust-
ing the heat to “low” heat for first five minutes.
Keeping the heat at medium will prevent the
pressure from dropping. Also consider how long
it will be before you eat the potatoes, as the
insides will keep cooking after they have been
removed from the cooker.
Never leave a pressure cooker unattended
while cooking.
