Vegetables
Prepare vegetables in the usual manner and season. Pour about

2
-inch of water in the bottom of the cooker.
Place vegetables on rack or in a metal pan resting on the rack.
For best color and texture, when done cooking, turn the heat off, allow pressure to reach zero, remove the
regulator weight, then remove the cover, raising the farthest edge first to protect face and arms from steam.
Do not allow the vegetables to remain in the cooker once the pressure is down to zero.
