FRESH AND FROZEN VEGETABLE TIMETABLE
When using the vegetable timetables below and on page 28, 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 OVER-
COOKING, COOL COOKER AT ONCE AFTER COOKING VEGETABLES, EXCEPT
WHEN NOTED.
If the timetable says to cook 0 minutes, this means to cook food until the pressure regulator
begins to rock, then cool cooker at once.
quantity of vegetables does not change pressure cooking times. More mature vegetables
may require longer pressure cooking times than given in chart.
To assure even heating, separate a block of frozen vegetables.
For fresh and frozen vegetables, pour liquid into cooker. Place vegetables on rack in
cooker.
