Greek Yogurt
1. Place a strainer or a cheesecloth inside a container, so the strainer doesn't
touch the bottom of the container to allow for better drainage.
2. Pour the homemade yogurt into the strainer or cheesecloth and cover. Put it in
the refrigerator to strain and chill for at least 2 hours. The longer the time, the
thicker the yogurt becomes.
3. Gently remove yogurt from strainer or cheesecloth by turning the strainer or
cheesecloth upside down on a plate or container.
4. Put it back in the refrigerator to chill for another few hours before serving.

Pressure Cooking Rice/Grains: To achieve best results when pressure cooking
rice/grains, please refer to the below tips and hints:
1. Add 1-2 tablespoons of oil to the dried grains to minimize frothing.
2. Do not fill the removable cooking pot more than half full to allow rice/grain to
expand in size.
3. Do not use the quick release method to release pressure; use the natural
release method instead.
4. Pearl Barley tends to froth, foam and sputter, which may block the pressure
valve if filled too high in the removable cooking pot. Please be sure not to fill
the removable cooking pot more than half full.
