Zest of 1 lemon
2 Cloves minced Garlic
1/4 c best foods Mayo
1/4 c Parmesean Cheese

1/4 c Progresso Bread Crumbs (for the filling)
1/4 c Progresso Italian Bread Crumbs (for the top.)
2 Tbsp melted Butter (save for the crumbs on top)
Sprinkle about 2 Tbsl Lemon Juice between all four halves, then drizzle the Evoo over all four of them as well. Don’t forget the little edges, it will drizzle down reaching them all.

Turn the pot on to Pressure cook and set the time for 12 min and press start, or however your pot works, and Pour 2 cups HOT water in the stainless pot. Add the spent Lemon halves.( cut/quartering them fits better) Use a long handled trivet in the pot then fit the Artichokes in evenly on the trivet, if they don’t fit, stack them . Two on bottom and two on top. Stagger them so the Crab doesn’t get squished or fall out.
While they are cooking, melt the butter and mix with remaining 1/4 c of Bread Crumbs. Set aside
Let them NPR for 5 min. Then QR the rest of the Pressure out. Carefully lift the Artichokes out and set them evenly onto a broiler pan. Sprinkle them all with the remaining Butter and Bread Crumbs mixture. Set under the broiler for a couple minutes til the Bread Crumbs brown slightly.
