Can u steam veggies in a pressure cooker ?
Answers:
Doubt it, its a different process.
A pressure cooker uses super-heated steam to get a higher temperature - its cooks the life out of food.
A steamer is much more gentle and leaves the food with more taste and a firmer texture. A steamer has a way of condesing the steam to re-use it.
guess it might work if you took off the valve and just used it as a big pot with a fixed lid...but you are likely to boil it dry.
It cooks so quickly, I doubt it? Unless you were doing potatoes, then it is great.
you could, but a pressure cooker is more designed for long slow cooking and tends to break food down a bit. It would be a better idea to steam them in a normal pan or the microave!
Nope. Pressure cookers are used to release the pressure in a diver's head so he can come up for air.
You cook food under pressure in the pressure cooker... steaming is a more delicate method of cooking (and not just veggies). I wouldn't use the pressure cooker unless, like one of our colleagues said, you are doing potatoes.
Too quick. Most veggies would be a soggy in a minute. We used a microwave pressure cooker which isn't even close to the heat of a regular pressure cooker & yet in less than 5 min. the tomatoes were sauce. Besides that you'd steam out most of the nutrients.
U could steam them that way; but U would have to be careful to not "overcook" them...
