Vegetables; Cabbage With Apples; Garlic Mashed Potatoes - Presto 6-Quart Stainless Steel Instructions Manual

Vegetables have assumed new importance and prominence on the menu. Health-conscious cooks feature an abundance of vegetables on
the family meal plan, while restaurants increasingly cater to a more "vegetable-conscious" clientele.
Pressure cooking is the 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. And pressure cooking offers an additional health advantage, because so
much more natural taste is retained, vegetables require much less salt and seasonings.
A garden variety of fresh or frozen vegetables can be cooked at the same time in the pressure cooker. By using the cooking rack to keep
them out of the cooking liquid, each vegetable retains its own distinctive flavor and appearance. Just be sure that all vegetables cooked
together require the same cooking time. It is important to accurately time the cooking period, because vegetables cook very quickly in
the pressure cooker. If you wish to blend the vegetable flavors, place them in the cooking liquid and omit the rack.
