I cook broccoli in my pressure cookers all the time. It doesn't make them mushy. Just cook them at pressure for about 3 minutes in about 1/2 cup of water. They will be bright, tender, and definitely not mushy.t doesn't take that long in a covered pot on the stove. My pressure cooker cookbook from 1977 cites a 2-1/2 minute cooking time at 15 pounds pressure, using 1 lb of broccoli, 1/2 cup water, and a little salt.
