Cooking Times and Basic Instructions
In the following pages you'll find all the information you need for preparing a wide vari-
ety of ingredients in your Nutritionist
NOTE: Unlike the microwave, pressure-cooking time does not increase when quantity
increases. In other words, whether you cook 1 pound or 2 pounds of chicken drum-
sticks, timing will remain 12 minutes.
The only exception to this rule is when the size of individual ingredients increase. For
example, a 3-pound pot roast takes 60 minutes while a 5-pound pot roast takes 80
minutes, and a large potato takes longer to cook than a small potato.
