VEGETABLES
Vegetables should be well washed and peeled, if necessary. Vegetables cook very
quickly – be sure to use Quick Pressure Release immediately after audible beep sounds.
If vegetables require more cooking, turn pressure cooker off, and cover to steam the
vegetables until preferred texture is reached. Add ½ cup water or liquid for cooking.
If pressure cooking frozen vegetables, 1 to 2 minutes additional cooking time and longer
steaming time may be needed. When cooking vegetables, it is always best to undercook,
then allow additional time to steam – to avoid overcooking. All cooking is on High pressure
unless otherwise indicated.
