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 3 cups of grains at one time. For pearl barley, cook no more than 2 cups at one time.
• After pressure cooking, allow pressure to drop of its own accord.
FOR GRAINS, DO NOT FILL COOKING POT OVER ½ FULL!
Grains Timetable
Combine the desired grain and the amount of liquid (water or broth) indicated in the timetable below in the cooking pot. Close cover. Place quick pressure
release valve on vent pipe. Press RICE or MULTI-GRAIN and adjust time as necessary. 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.
