Vegetables

Pressure cooking is a preferred method for preparing vegetables. Because of the fast
cooking time and super-heated steam, vegetables retain most of their natural color,
texture, flavor, and nutrients.
FOR FRESH VEGETABLES, DO NOT FILL COOKING POT OVER ⅔ FULL!
Fresh Vegetable Timetable
When using the following vegetable timetable, cook the vegetables the minimum amount
of time indicated if you prefer your vegetables crisp. If you prefer your vegetables soft,
cook them the maximum amount of time indicated.
TO PREVENT OVERCOOKING, USE THE QUICK PRESSURE RELEASE
METHOD AFTER COOKING VEGETABLES.
If the timetable says to cook 0 minutes, press the VEGETABLES–LOW button. Unit
will beep 10 times as soon as pressure is reached. Use the quick pressure release method
immediately after pressure cooker reaches cooking pressure.
Quantity of vegetables does not change pressure cooking times. More mature vegetables
may require longer pressure cooking times than given in timetable.
For fresh vegetables, pour 1 cup liquid into cooking pot. Place vegetables on rack in
cooking pot. Close cover securely. Place quick pressure release valve on vent pipe. Press
VEGETABLES–LOW or VEGETABLES–HIGH and adjust time, if necessary, according
to the following timetable.
