seafood
Seafood is the basis of some of the healthiest and most nutritious meals you can make. It is an excellent source of protein,
a good source of minerals, and one of the few sources of benecial omega-3 fatty acids.
Steaming in the pressure cooker brings out the nest, fullest avors of seafood. The cooking time required is directly
related to the thickness of the seafood. To be safe, if the sh you are cooking seems thin for its weight or if it weighs less
than the recipe species, reduce the cooking time. Overcooking tends to toughen seafood.
