Rice cookers with a documented high-pressure cooking method
If the selected cooking method itself must use high pressure, the CRP-P0609S manual documents a 2–4-cup high-pressure Brown Rice plan; the CMC-QSB501S separately lists a pressure Jasmine routine with a four-serving ceiling and no confirmed minimum. Choose by grain, portion, and recipe, not by a cooker-wide pressure label.
- The selected cooking plan—not just the cooker—must document high pressure.
- Keep each grain's batch ceiling and units attached to its own recipe.
- This does not say that every menu on a pressure-capable cooker is high-pressure.

Pressure is a method choice
A pressure-capable cooker may also offer non-pressure programs. The mode requirement applies to the same grain and recipe you plan to cook, so look for an exact operating plan rather than relying on an appliance-wide feature label.
Choose a confirmed plan
The P0609S Brown Rice plan is high-pressure at 2–4 supplied cups. The CMC-QSB501S Jasmine routine is also high-pressure, with a recommendation of no more than four supplied-cup servings but no stated minimum. The latter is not a complete batch range.
Do not transfer pressure between menus
On a dual-mode cooker, a White, Brown, Turbo, GABA, or Porridge program can have different pressure and timer rules. If a pressure mode is essential, check that it belongs to the exact method and amount you will use.
Questions that change the choice
Does pressure-capable mean every rice program is high-pressure?
No. The selector concerns the chosen method. A dual-mode cooker may offer a high-pressure plan and a different non-pressure plan; verify the exact grain-specific entry.
Can I infer the CMC-QSB501S minimum from its serving maximum?
No. The exact Jasmine recipe recommends up to four servings but does not establish a minimum. Treat the lower amount as unknown unless the specific instructions provide it.
