When should I use Natural Release versus Quick Release?

Natural Release is ideal for high-starch foods like soups, stews, chilis, pasta, oatmeal, and congee, as well as foods that expand when cooked like beans and grains. Quick Release is suitable for quick-cooking vegetables and delicate seafood, but should never be used for fatty, oily, thick, or high-starch foods.
