Vegetables Vegetables should be well washed and peeled if necessary. Vegetables cook very quickly - be sure to use Quick Pressure Release immediately after audible beep sounds. If vegetables require more cooking, turn pressure cooker off, and cover to steam the vegetables until preferred texture is reached. Add ½ cup water or liquid for cooking. If pressure cooking frozen vegetables, 1 to 2 minutes additional cooking time and longer steaming time may be needed. When cooking vegetables it is always best to undercook, then allow additional time to steam to avoid overcooking. All cooking is on High Pressure unless otherwise indicated.
