VeGeTables
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 veg-
etables. 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 advan-
tage, 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 trivet and
steamer basket 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 cook-
ing 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 steamer
basket and omit the trivet.
