Wash, clean and drain the chicken gizzzards. In a mixing bowl, put salt and rub it against the gizzards to remove the odor.
Wash again and drain. Put the gizzards in a pressure cooker pot and fill with water just enough the cover the gizzards.
Cover and plug the lid then bring to a boil. Simmer for 30 minutes then let the pressure cooker cool down before opening the lid.
