When making soup can I use frozen vegetables?

I would thoroughly read through the reviews about the low integrity of the product. Burn out rate is pretty quick and I imagine frozen foods would only make it worse

You can use both, but I recommend you: don't but this product, is horrible. It has problem every time.

The Cuisinart SBC-1000 does not discriminate between fresh or frozen. Out of season frozen veg's pack as much if not more nutrients than fresh (often trucked or flown from great distances). Fresh broccoli can loose as much as 50% of its Vit.C in a week, whereas frozen broc might loose 10% over a full year. So yeah, fear not, the SBC-1000 heats frozen as well as fresh, might take a tad bit longer though. Who really cares? Right?

Yes. I use them to freeze soup. But, I seal the top with plastic wrap as a precautionary measure.

yes, you can can vegetables. I have Miss Vickies pressure cooker recipes and it tells how and hundreds of recipes.

Hi, I like using carrots, onions and celery that I saute in olive oil for a few minutes until they start to soften. I then add about 8 cups of stock and 1 cup of the soup mix. When it get near the end of the cooking time (the soup mix is fairly soft) I'll add either some shredded cooked chicken or little mini meatballs. I sometimes will add a diced potato as well. I like to use Italian seasonings in the soup.

Instruction book says "You can use unsweetened frozen can be used in place of fresh. Partially thaw in refrigerator just until soft enough to crush (some ice crystals will remain).

Yes... not a problem adding hot soup to the blender. I start with a small quantity and the top on to get the blades turning, then add in the rest of the soup.

I would say yes, but I would cook the zucchini separately and add them to the soup mixture after it's done cooking. Zucchini would fall apart if you cook them together.

You can always cook frozen meat. I frequently have put frozen hamburger in a skillet simultaneously friying it and thawing it out right there in the pan constantly scraping off the outer layer as it cooks and defrosts at the same time. You can do this in the instant pot on the Saute setting. In any pressure cooker ( the instant pot is primarily used as a pressure cooker) you can put a whole frozen chicken, stew meat, frozen chiie block with two inches of water, making beef stew or chicken soup and just cook it about 5 minutes longer in the pressure cooker than unfrozen meat. It works very well. A pressure cooker unthaws frozen meat rather quickly as it cooks at about 240 degrees. No need to defrost first. You can take the meat put in the morning, put it in a dish in the morning and it will bee defrosted when you get home from work, but that is not necessary. Just take it out of the freezer and throw it in the Pressure Cooker. It will cook just the same as unfrozen, just give it a few extra minutes Bottom line - frozen is no big deal. W.O.

just put your frozen item on the tray ... if you wish, warm the tray first with warm water

From my experience, no problems at all. But I must stress that, when I cook frozen vegetables, I usually do it in medium-low power first, and after they aren't anymore frozen, I cook as I'd do with fresh vegetables.

Yes you can, but I would add some ice cubs to it if the item is room temperature or water if the items are chilled. You get a quicker result if you quarter a big fruit or vegetable.

You should not put frozen meat into ANY slow cooker. It doesn't get up to temperature fast enough and will have your raw meat in the danger zone for too long and can cause food-borne illnesses.

I have sealed soups in the cannister and in the bags.. In the bas you have to be very careful. If you seal in the cannisters you cannot freeze in them.You can freeze in Mason and Ball jars, just make sure they have enough air space at the top. Usually at least 1 in.. I don't know about the seals as I have never had to replace...Hope this helps some...

The All Clad Immersion Blender has a stainless steel shaft and sharp blades. It would be fine for heavy soups. I wouldn't recommend blending ice with it.

Fresh vegetables 6-10 min. Frozen 8-12 min. I like my vegetables soft not crunchy. Also my steaming time depends on the amount the larger the amount the more time.

I mix mine with frozen brine shrimp and freeze the leftovers, then thaw it when I am ready to use it again. I think it's fine.

I haven't tried soups. But I normally make a brown, black, sweet, lentil and bean rice which I like. Hope that helps.
