FISH
Cook with the appropriate amount of liquid for the quantity of fish. As fish stock sticks,
the lid should be removed immediately once the pressure indicator has retracted fully.
RICE AND OTHER GRAINS
Pressure cooking yields successful results with rice and other grains. As a guide,
allow 3 cups of water for each cup of grain. Once cooked, quickly drain off the
excess water.
• Grains such as brown rice and barley are cooked at high pressure, followed by a
slow release of pressure (which allows further cooking) – and finally a quick release
of pressure to stop the cooking.
• White rice, including medium and long grain, basmati and jasmine, is also cooked
as above.
• Short rice, such as Arborio, is usually cooked at high pressure, followed by a quick
release of pressure to prevent overcooking.
All grains need a little fat to prevent foaming as they cook, so add around 1 tablespoon
of butter or oil for each cup of grain. Season with salt if desired. Remember that rice and
most grains almost triple in bulk when cooked, so the Pressure Cooker should only be half
full with grain and cooking liquid. The cooking times chart above gives a guide to total
cooking times, which include the initial time at high pressure followed by the slow and/or
quick release of pressure times.
