As it happens I didn't cook any veg (except new potatoes ... but I do cook
my veg in it. The day was very warm and sunny so I made a salad.

BUT it works fine, You have to be very careful about timing! For
example - broccoli takes exactly TWO minutes after it comes up to pressure
and you must depressurise it FAST! I stick my cooker in a sink of cold
water!
I am doing a lot of my veg in it now and it works good, so long as you do
take care or you will end up with mush.

I don't know about how it works in other pressure cookers though, I can only
talk about my Prestige.

I don't know. I bought a Tefal once and it was rubbish. Anyway I am very
pleased to get my old one back.
