Steps

  1. 1To begin pressure cooking or steaming vegetables in the pressure cooker, first add the cut vegetables into the pressure cooker and add in some salt to taste.
  2. 2For every 350 to 500 grams of cut vegetables, add in 3 to 4 tablespoons of water. That's just the amount of water that is required to steam all the vegetables in the pressure cooker.
  3. 3Place the lid on the pressure cooker pan with its weight placed on it and allow it to cook until you hear two whistles.
  4. 4After two whistles, turn off the pressure cooker and carefully release the pressure weight from the cooker immediately.
  5. 5You can do this by holding the cooker under running water. This process helps retain all the colour and nutrition in the vegetables while also having them perfectly steamed, and not overcooked.
  6. 6Once the pressure has released completely and the lid opens with ease, the pressure cooked vegetables are ready for use.
