RiCe
Because fluffy, flavorful steamed rice is ready in minutes in the pressure cooker, you can enjoy all the speed and convenience of
“instant” rice, without sacrificing any of the authentic, slow-cooked taste and texture of regular long grain rice.
Rice is low in sodium and fat and is cholesterol-free. And its versatility allows it to be used in recipes for soups, main dishes, side
dishes, and desserts.
During the cooking period, rice cooked directly in the pressure cooker tends to froth, foam, and sputter and could cause the vent
pipe to become clogged. Therefore, to eliminate frothing, foaming, and sputtering during the cooking period, rice must be
prepared in a bowl in the pressure cooker according to the following directions
One cup of rice will yield approximately 3 cups cooked rice. Before serving, fluff rice and separate the grains by lifting gently
with a fork while steaming.
The recipes in this section may be doubled. Be sure not to fill the pressure cooker over 1 ⁄
2
full (see page 6). When the recipe is
increased, the cooking time remains the same. The water or broth added to the metal bowl should be increased proportionately. Do
not increase the water poured into the cooker because this water is used for steaming and the cooking time is unchanged.
FOR RICE, DO NOT FILL PRESSURE COOKER OVER 1 ⁄
2
FULL!
