1 lb. Bag frozen whole green beans
3 Tbs. butter
2 cloves garlic, finely minced
½ tsp. salt
½ tsp. ground black pepper
1 cup hot water
Melt butter on medium in 3 ½ qt. pressure pan. Add garlic, salt and pepper
and sir for 30 seconds being careful not to brown the garlic. Add frozen
green beans; toss to cover with butter. Pour water around beans. Increase
heat to high, secure lid. Bring to medium pressure (II) and cook 3 minutes.
Quickly release pressure, remove lid and toss with fork.

Buttery Corn-on-the-Cob
4 – 12 ears of fresh corn, husk and silk removed
1 stick butter
2 tsp. salt
¼ tsp. granulated sugar
cool water to cover
In 8 qt. pressure pot, melt butter in 1 cup water. Add salt, sugar and corn.
Just cover with cool water. Attach lid, bring to highest pressure (III), reduce
heat and cook 6 minutes. Quickly release pressure; remove lid. Use long
tongs and carefully remove corn.
NATURAL STEAMING OFF
Turn the heat off. Allow the pressure to fall naturally, then open
the Pressure Cooker. This method is recommended for frothing
foods or foods that expand greatly such as beans and rice.
Combination Method:
Turn the heat off. Allow the pressure cooker to cool off and the
pressure to naturally decrease for the amount of time indicated on
the recipe (standing time). Release the remaining pressure by
using either the natural Steaming-Off method or the Quick
Release method.
Quick Release Method:
Caution must be exercised when using this
method as a large volume of steam will
escape from pressure selector dial and may
cause a scalding injury if your face or any
other part of your body is in front of this
valve when steam is being released.
When using the Quick release method, you
must be prepared for a loud hissing sound.
This sound is normal and only occurs when
you use this method of steam release.
You can either release the pressure on the stove or take it to the
sink or a counter. When removing the pressure cooker from the
stove, use two hands and only touch the stay cool handles.
Slowly turn the pressure setting to “0”. You should momentarily
stop at each interim pressure setting before reaching zero. Once
all the steam has escaped, you can remove the lid by opening it
away from your face or body.
DO NOT USE THIS METHOD WITH FOODS LIKE LEGUMES,
GRAIN OR OTHER FOODS THAT FROTH OR WHEN THE
PRESSURE COOKER IS VERY FULL.
Never put any part of your body in front of the Quick release
Valve.
Never force the lid open.
Never open the lid towards your face.
