I use a Power Pressure Cooker XL 8 quart model to cook these lip-smacking collards. Collards work well with beef, chicken, and pork. It is also works as compliment to other cooked vegetables. Despite their odor during the cooking process, the flavor more than makes up for that. Choose collards green in color throughout, not wilted or yellowed. Bunch size varies during the time of year. Two very large bunches should be enough to feed 4 adults. Three average size bunches should fill an 8 quart container. Remember not go beyond the fill line in your multi-cooker.

How To Make easy collard greens

    Then, gather greens and layer them. Roll them into cigar-shaped bundles. Begin to slice the greens into one - two inch wide sections. You’ll need the multi-cooker container near to place the cut greens inside.
