Grains
Grains are an important, but often little recognized, part of a healthy diet. They contribute
complex carbohydrates, soluble and insoluble ber, 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 14).
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.
FOR GRAINS, DO NOT FILL COOKING POT OVER ½ FULL!
