Pressure Cooking Fresh or Dried Fruits: To achieve best results when pressure
cooking dried or fresh fruit, please refer to the below tips and hints:
1. The quick release method is recommended when pressure cooking fruit to
prevent overcooking.
2. Half a cup of water is sufficient for cooking any quantity of fruit because the
cooking time is extra short.
3. Add sugar to fruit only after being cooked, not before.

Pressure Cooking Beans/Legumes (Dry & Presoaked): To achieve best results
when cooking with dried or presoaked beans/legumes, please refer to the below
tips and hints:
1. Rinse dried beans/legumes under cold water and drain; discard any pebbles or
other debris in batch.
2. Do not fill the cooker more than half full to allow for beans/legumes to expand
in size.
3. Use enough liquid to cover the beans/legumes
4. Do not salt beans/legumes. Using salt while cooking the beans/legumes
prevents them from cooking correctly.
5. Add 1-2 tablespoons of oil to beans/legumes to minimize frothing.
6. For best results, when cooking dried beans/legumes, use the natural release
method.

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 halfway 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 halfway.
