  • Pressure Cook: Place the wrapped burgers on the trivet, stacking as necessary. Lock the lid in place, turn the valve to the sealing position, and choose the manual or pressure cook button (high pressure). Set the time for 12 minutes. (If making larger, 8-ounce burgers, increase the pressure cook time to 14 minutes.) When the time is up, carefully turn the valve to the venting position for a quick release.
