DRIED BEANS AND LEGUMES
• Before cooking dried beans, pick over and discard any
broken or shriveled beans or bits of dirt and debris. Rinse
beans and drain.
• Beans may be soaked overnight, but the appliance allows
you to cook beans without presoaking.
• Onions, garlic, celery, springs of fresh herbs or a bay leaf
may be added for additional flavoring. Do not salt before
cooking as salt inhibits cooking.
• Never cook more than 2 cups of beans per batch (2 cups of
beans + 8 cups of water + seasonings + onion, garlic, herbs
to taste + 4 tsp oil).
• Add 2 tsp oil per cup of beans to prevent foaming.
• After cooking beans, clean Lid, Gasket, Pressure Limiting
Valve, and Float Valve carefully.
• Use natural pressure release when cooking beans.
• Cooking times may vary according to the quality of the beans
or other legumes (this is partially dependent on the age of
the dried beans, something you have no control over). If still
hard after recommended cooking times, continue cooking
uncovered. Add additional water, if necessary.

RICE & GRAINS
Before cooking, soak certain grains, such as pearl barley in four
times their volume of lukewarm water for at least 4 hours or
overnight if required. Do not soak rice. Do not add salt to water,
since it may toughen the grains and inhibit hydration. Rice and
grains are best slightly undercooked if they are to be added to soups
or casseroles. Oil or butter must be added to prevent foaming.
White Rice
Use this method for cooking long-grain or basmati rice. The
texture will be moister and slightly stickier than stovetop rice,
more like rice from a rice cooker or Asian restaurants. The
butter or oil are to prevent foaming. Salt is optional to taste (you
may wish to omit salt completely if using a purchased broth).
White rice is cooked by selecting the “WHITE RICE” function
and using Natural Release.
