Grains; Precautions When Cooking Grains - Russell Hobbs RHNPC800P Nutritionist Owner's Manual

Basic Instructions

GRAINS

Whole grains cook so quickly in the Pressure Cooker that they can become a regular
part of your diet. Here are a few things to keep in mind:
• Timing varies from one batch of grains to the next, depending upon age and storage
conditions. So it is wise to do the majority of cooking under pressure and then do
any additional cooking, if needed, on the STEAM setting. Remember that whole
grains such as wheat berries and brown rice always remain a bit chewy, even when
thoroughly cooked.
• Grains that have the same cooking time may be cooked together.
• Leftover grains may be frozen in convenient portion sizes. Defrost them in the
microwave.

PRECAUTIONS WHEN COOKING GRAINS

• When cooking grains alone (rather than in a soup or stew), never fill Pressure Cooker
more than one-third full.
• TO CONTROL FOAMING AS GRAINS COOK, ALWAYS ADD 1 TABLESPOON OF
OIL PER CUP OF DRIED GRAINS TO THE COOKING LIQUID.
• Do not cook more than 2 cups of dried grains at a time.
• Clean the Pressure Regulator Knob, Steam Release Valve, Safety Valves and Rubber
Gasket thoroughly after cooking grains.
