Presto 8-Quart Stainless Steel Pressure Cooker and Canner warranty For Fresh And Frozen Vegetables

FRESH AND FROZEN VEGETABLE TIMETABLE

When using the fresh vegetable timetables below and on page 29, 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 you hear and/or see a steady flow of steam escaping from the pressure regulator, 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. Position trivet in cooker. Place vegetables in steamer basket on trivet.

FOR FRESH AND FROZEN VEGETABLES,

DO NOT FILL PRESSURE COOKER OVER 2⁄3 FULL!
