FISH AND SEAFOOD
GENERAL INDICATIONS
Regular cooking times of fish and
seafood are not normally long so the
pressure cooker will not save you too
much time. There are however other
advantages. Cooking smells, which are
so difficult to get out of the house
afterwards, are reduced or eliminated
and steam cooling or casserole cooking
under pressure improve the taste and
nutritional value of the fish.
• Season carfully as rather less
seasoning is needed. Lemon juice is
a good substitute for salt during
cooking. Salt may be added
afterwards.
• Frozen fish do not need to be
thawed, as cooking times are the
same.
• Vegetables can be combined for
"meal-in-one" cooking as times are
similar.
