Seafood
Seafood is the basis of some of the healthiest and most nutritious meals you can make. It is an excellent source of protein, a good source of minerals, and some vitamins, and it’s low in fat and sodium.
Steaming in the pressure cooker brings out the finest, fullest flavors of seafood. The cooking time required is directly related to the thickness of the seafood. To be safe, if the fish you are cooking seems thin for its weight or if it weighs less than the recipe specifies, reduce the cooking time. Overcooking tends to toughen seafood.
FOR FISH AND SEAFOOD,
DO NOT FILL PRESSURE COOKER OVER 2⁄3 FULL!
Operating the cooker without cooking liquid oR
allowing the cooker to boil dry will damage the cooker.
