Pressure Cooking Times

We've included some basic pressure cooking times in this chart below. These calculations are based on cooking with a pressure cooker at 15 psi. Make sure you read all about cooking with pressure cookers. Doublecheck your pressure cooker manual for the correct amount of liquid to add before cooking.

Zucchini – 2 minutes
Pinto Beans, soaked, using natural release-1 to 3 minutes
Beef pot roast, 1-1/2 lb to 2 lbs. – 35 to 40 minutes
