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. Yet with all these benefits,
grains are low in fat. Grains can be prepared quickly and conve-
niently with the pressure cooker. With a pressure cooker it is not
necessary to soak or simmer grains for several hours.
During cooking many grains tend to froth, foam, and sputter
and could cause the vent pipe to become blocked. Therefore,
to contain frothing and foaming during the cooking period,
grains must be prepared in a bowl covered with aluminum foil
in the pressure cooker.
Preparing grains in a bowl also minimiz-
es cleanup which can be difficult if the grains stick to the bottom
of the cooker.
The bowl can be metal, such as stainless steel, or oven-safe glass.
If using glass, increase cooking time by 1 to 5 minutes depending
on the length of the recommended cooking time.
FOR GRAINS, DO NOT FILL PRESSURE COOKER OVER
