Fish And Seafood - Presto Electric Pressure Cooker Plus Instructions And Recipes Manual

Fish and Seafood

Fish and seafood are the basis of some of the healthiest and most nutritious meals you can
make. Steaming them in the pressure cooker brings out their finest, fullest flavors.
Fish and seafood cook very quickly under pressure, and the cooking time required is
directly related to the thickness of the seafood. To prevent overcooking, do not cook fish
or seafood that is less than ¾ inch thick. For fish or seafood more than 1 inch thick, cook
for the suggested time in the timetable below and then allow the cover to remain on the
pressure cooker for another minute after the air vent/cover lock has dropped.
FOR FISH AND SEAFOOD, DO NOT FILL COOKING POT OVER ⅔ FULL!
