Am I doing something wrong? Then when I tried to release pressure manually, I had fatty steam all over my counter!
that sounds fast to me! It really isn't "Instant" but your times sound about right. How long would it have cooked on the stove? I cooked a roast tonight for 100 minutes. I let it release totally. When I am in a situation like yours I do a controlled release. Just open the valve a bit at a time and you won't have the spray.
