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.
