Cooking Instructions
Rinse Corned Beef: Rinse corned beef under cold
tap water. Rinse well and pat dry with paper towel.
Pressure Cook Corned Beef: Add rinsed corned beef, quartered onion, 4 crushed
garlic cloves, pickling spices seasoning, and 4 cups (1L) cold water into the
pressure cooker. Close lid and pressure cook at High Pressure for 70 minutes +
Natural Release (~15 minutes). If the floating valve doesn’t drop

wedges in the pressure cooker. Close lid and pressure cook at High Pressure for
2 – 3 minutes + Quick Release. Open the lid carefully.
