6 Instant Pot Zero Minute Vegetables

Steaming vegetables in the Instant Pot is so easy and some vegetables only require a ZERO minute pressure cooking time! To steam vegetables in the Instant Pot add 1.5 cups of water into the Instant Pot liner. Place your steamer basket into the pot and then add vegetables into the basket. Lock the lid into place and secure the lid. Make sure the valve is set to sealing. Set the manual/pressure cook button to 0 minutes by using the - (minus) button to decrease the time down to zero. When the timer beeps move the valve to venting. Remove the lid. Your vegetables should be ready to go! Some great vegetables to steam in the Instant Pot are: cauliflower florets, broccoli florets. frozen corn, asparagus, zucchini slices and green beans.

Admire how well edited your videos are; pragmatic, to the point. Thanks Karen😊

Amen sister! Since my Bella steamer died I have been missing my veggies so bad. Thank you so much!!

I have used aero time for broccoli, cauliflower, and asparagus and it always works great. Now I know a few other things to use zero time. Thank you.

Oh no now I've got no excuses for avoiding vegetables;-)

This video needs more views. God bless whoever programmed the cooking time of the instant pot settings, but the veggies always come out mushy. Setting the cooking time to Zero is not in the manual, and it probably should be

You cook vegetables separately. Can't you mix them? I'm a one person household & don't cook a lot at a time. Can't l cook squash & broccoli together? Might be a mixing of flavors but don't care. Any other reason for cooking separately l should know about? Thanks. Leonard Wiggins

I'm new to pressure cooking, and I love vegetables, especially steamed. I noticed you didn't mix the vegetables. Can I steam some cauliflower with broccoli and zucchini and green beans, or should I steam them individually? Thank you for the video and thank you for your time.

She must not have seen your question. Did you figure it out? Please let me know if it works to mix the vegetables!

[@Kidsevalan]

@@UniquelyGeeky Thank you so much for responding. I didn't figure it out. I did try steaming mixed vegetables, but the zucchini turned to mush. Do you have a tip for me? Thank you again.

[@UniquelyGeeky]

@@Kidsevalan No, I’m fairly new to the Instant Pot and air fryer. But I’ll definitely try different ways to cook vegetables together. I’m guessing that it would turn out good to cook broccoli and cauliflower together at the same time and maybe the zucchini, too. But I’m not so sure about adding in green beans to that mix.

[@Kidsevalan]

@@UniquelyGeeky I wish you good luck. I still have so much to learn about pressure cooking, though I have made veggie soup a few times and it's been very good. :)

I was thinking that basket that comes with the duo that is intended for the air fryer could work good for steaming.

[@santiagobriones410]

What do you do for flavor? Can you add seasoning while it's in the 0 minute process or do you always add after? Thanks in advance

[@alexavasquez1992]

I generally season them after pressure cooking, add some oil and put it under the broiler. Soft and creamy on the inside, and flavorful with some crunch on the outside

Can someone help? I have the new instant pot duo plus. And it doesn't come with a steamer option. Is there another way to steam? Idk why they decided go take out the steam option out if the new one.

[@peggyunderhill601]

Normal pressure cooking is by steam - the steam function is just a pre set

[@Resist4]

Why not just mix all the vegetables together and do one cooking? That's what I would do in a pan on the stove, so it would work with the instant pot.

[@raymondschneider5217]

Indeed, it will, Dan. A timesaver (maybe) is just to use a bag of frozen veg and do the zero minutes. Y'all Be Safe!

[@Bovine_University93]

Different vegetables have different cook times. For instance, if you cook broccoli and asparagus together the broccoli will be too soft and the asparagus will be cooked, and vice versa. It's a technique that needs mastering, but when you know how long to pressure steam, it's very convenient.

[@Resist4]

@@Bovine_University93 I've never had an issue cooking broccoli and asparagus together, both come out slightly crunchy just the way I like them.

[@Bovine_University93]

@@Resist4 In my experience the broccoli only needs about 20 - 30 seconds on low heat after the bobber valve. Asparagus requires 2 - 3 minutes. Just make sure to steam the broccoli outside. 😀

Can you cook multiple veg together

Is it possible to cook veggies without having water left in the bottom? I don't want to lose the veggie nutrients into the water. Thanks

[@somedudeinatunnel3102]

Hey Matt, fortunately since the veggies aren't being boiled, they retain their nutrients and lose none of them since they're not physically being cooked in the water. I also don't recommend a steamer basket, but rather the trivet that comes with the Instant Pot. Hope this helps.

I love your recipes! My instant pot lux has a steam button .is there a reason you use the manual button instead of steam?

[@karenbellessapeterse]

For these vegetables you can use either the steam or the manual button. I should have said that but forgot :)

[@gpace9751]

it would be helpful if you would tell us how well done each vegetable is after cooking them. We certainly can't tell from the picture. Some veggies are not that great if they are crunchy or too firm.

[@TheOriginalRick]

There's still a bit of crunch at zero minutes. You will have to experiment on your own to determine the best amount of time. I would suggest you start with one minute of time.
