Pressure Cooking Charts
Pressure cooking times are approximate times. Use these cooking times as a
general guideline. Size and variety will alter cooking times.
Pressure Cooking Vegetables (Fresh & Frozen): To achieve best results when
pressure cooking fresh or frozen vegetables, please refer to the below tips and
hints:
1. Use the STEAM function when making steamed vegetable dishes.
2. Use the quick release method when pressure cooking vegetables so they do
not overcook.
3. Use a minimum of 1 cup of liquid when cooking vegetables.
4. When steaming vegetables, use the ZAVOR Stainless Steel Steamer
Basket and Trivet, which can be purchased at the ZAVOR website at www.
zavoramerica.com or by calling a ZAVOR Representative at 1-855-928-6748.
