Grains - Presto 02141 Instructions Manual

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 .
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 .
