Notes

If you have not done a quick release on the Instant Pot, refer to your owners manual for directions.
Make sure you know where the pressure valve, and the float valve are, and how to identify when the float valve has dropped down in order to remove the lid on the IP after all pressure has been released.
Also, make sure you turn the pressure valve with a pot holder so you do not steam/burn your hand or fingers.
