Yes, you can.
Start the meat first then when there is about 20 minutes left you cool the cooker with running water & add your veggies (depends on what veggies for how long etc.)
& bring back up to pressure.
Google 'recipes for the pressure cooker' & you'll get quite a few websites just for the pressure cooker.
It really is a great tool for the kitchen & the newer ones are safe. Older models, before 1970 I do believe, didn't have a over pressure plug & not all the lids locked. Now all the lids lock on & there are little rubber plugs that will pop off if too much pressure is built up.
Another thing about pressure cookers is to NEVER cook foods that can foam or boil over when cooked. Like potatoes by themselves(in recipes are fine), any kind of milk product, rhubarb, any high starch food (might be why the split pea soup popped the lid) including pasta.

Pressure cookers are really to speed the cooking process up for the "main" product of a dish or meal. Because meats and vegetables fully cook at different intervals you'd have done meat and baby food for veggies, no way to control that unles you stop the cooking process and unload the veggies and restart the meat part

nicely, a tension cooker is greater risky. My mom used to make pinto beans in it and my little brother became into leaping around the kitchen and it exploded interior the kitchen and my lil bro became into burned ( not severly yet he has some scars on his hands) Plus it made an exceedingly undesirable mess. slow cookers of direction cook dinner slow yet they're secure quite if there are babies interior the abode!!!

Well, I've never used one but I know someone who used his to make Split pea and ham soup. Unfortunately it blew up in his face and scared him for life. They tend to be a dangerous appliance. Please be very careful.
