A:Answer The manual lists some of the cycles (Slow Cook, Sear, Keep Warm) as non-pressure, but I just wasted an hour this morning learning that the Oatmeal setting has no pressure (not stated in the manual). I had to re-cook using the Bean setting, which does have pressure. The manual is terrible. There is no mention of high vs low pressure, I suspect it uses the same for every cycle, or else it sets them internally, there's no adjustable setting. It seems to require a lot of trial and error to figure out what each cycle does. Now I know that if the cook time starts counting down immediately, before the pressure button pops up, it's non-pressure. Or else my unit is broken.
