Vegetable Pressure Cooking Chart:

Pressure Cooking Fresh or Dried Fruits: To achieve best results when pressure cooking dried or fresh fruit, please refer to the below tips and hints:

  1. Quick release method is recommended when pressure cooking fruit to prevent from overcooking.
  2. One half cup of water is sufficient for cooking any quantity of fruit because the cooking time is very short.
  3. Add sugar to fruit only after it is cooked, not before.

Pressure Cooking Beans/Legumes (Dry & Soaked): To achieve best results when cooking with dried or soaked beans/legumes, please refer to the below tips and hints:

  1. Rinse dried beans/legumes under cold water and drain; discard any pebbles or other debris in batch.
  2. Do not fill cooker more than half full to allow for beans/legumes to expand in size.
  3. Use enough liquid to cover the beans/legumes
  4. Do not salt beans/legumes. Using salt while cooking the beans/legumes will prevent them from cooking properly.
  5. Add 1-2 tablespoons of oil to beans/legumes to minimize frothing.
  6. Release pressure when cooking dried beans/legumes by using the natural release method for best results.

Pressure Cooking Rice/Grains: To achieve best results when pressure cooking rice/grains, please refer to the below tips and hints:

  1. Add 1-2 tablespoons of oil to the dried grains to minimize frothing.
  2. Do not fill removable cooking pot more than half way to allow rice/grain to expand in size.
  3. Do not use the quick release method to release pressure; Use the natural release method instead to release pressure from the cooker.
  4. Pearl Barley tends to froth, foam and sputter which may block the pressure valve if filled too high in the removable cooking pot. Please be sure to not fill the removable cooking pot more than half way.

Pressure Cooking Meat/Poultry: To achieve best results when cooking meat/ poultry, please refer to the below tips and hints:

  1. Cut meat/poultry into pieces of uniform size for even cooking.
  2. When mixing meats, cut those that cook more quickly into larger pieces and those that cook more slowly into smaller pieces.
  3. Brown meat in small batches – overcrowding the cooker can result in the meat becoming tough and flavorless.

Pressure Cooking Seafood: To achieve best results when cooking seafood, please refer to the below tips and hints:

  1. Always leave at least 2 inches from the top rim to prevent overflowing.
  2. Smaller types of seafood, such as clams and shrimp, do not take long to cook, therefore, it’s best to add these types of seafood to a dish during the last few minutes of cooking.

Pressure Cooking Program

This program will allow food to cook faster under pressure by reducing cooking time up to 70% compared to traditional cooking methods. Pressure cooking is fast, easy, safe and healthy!
