Step 1
Remove small outer leaves that are dry, and cut the stem off, leaving about 1/4". Then use a really sharp serrated knife to cut the top inch or two off of the artichoke. This exposes the inside and will allow the steam to penetrate it.
Step 2
Rinse the artichokes and pat dry with a paper towel. Then rub some lemon on the cut surface to prevent browning.
Step 3
Add the water to the stainless inner liner. Then add the aromatics, if using, (garlic, bay leaves, lemon slices, salt, onion, and rosemary).
Step 4
Place the trivet/rack into the pot.
Step 5
Place the artichokes into the pot, stem side up (cut side down). Close the lid and set the steam release knob to the Sealing position.
Step 6
Press the Pressure Cook/Manual Button or dial, then the + or - button or dial to select the cook time (cook times may vary*):Small artichokes - 7 minutesMedium Artichokes - 10 minutesLarge artichokes - 15 minutes
Step 7
When the cooking cycle is finished, do a Quick Release of the steam/pressure by turning the steam release knob to the Venting position, or pushing the release button, if applicable.
Step 8
