Grains
Grains are an important, but often little recognized, part of a healthy diet. They contribute complex carbohydrates, soluble and insoluble fiber,
and other nutrients. Grains are low in fat and can be prepared quickly and conveniently with no soaking required. However, some grains foam
and froth during cooking, so the following precautions should be observed.
● Do not cook more than 4 cups of grains at one time.
●
After pressure cooking, use natural pressure release (see page 8).
Grains Timetable
Combine the desired grain and the amount of liquid (water or broth) indicated in the timetable below in the cooking pot. Close and secure
cover. Place quick pressure release valve on vent pipe. Select the RICE or MULTIGRAIN function, adjust time as necessary, and press start.
Before serving, separate the grains by lifting gently with a fork while steaming. It may be necessary to allow excess moisture to evaporate
from some grains. If excessive moisture remains, drain before using grains.
