Pressure cooker
The electric pressure cooker is a great rice cooker too!
It is stored in the Kitchen, at the bottom of the shelf for personal storage of used dishes.
Instructions (so far):
valid for jazmin or basmati rice, and between 1 and 1,5kg.
- wash the rice thoroughly, and drain it with mesh colander. - Add rice and water.
1to1 for a dryer steamy rice with a very slight crisp on the bottom. 1 rice to 1,2 water for well done and a bit more wet.
- Select "Rice" with the menu button. Press Start.
It will take some minutes to warm up, then a 10 min counter starts.
- When finished " bb " appears, it's keeping the rice warm. Press Cancel. - Let the rice cool down and do not release the steam to speed it up!
When the lid opens, rice is ready.
Best way to cook beans too!
- Wash them and soak for many hours. Throw away the soaking water. - Put in pressure cooker, cover with water, add salt and half a tea spoon of baking soda. Herbs, onion in quarters, garlic, are optional. - Choose bean program. For small beans soaked overnight it was too much. When 5 min left cancel the program. "bb" should be cancelled. too.
I'm less sure about beans yet, because too many variables. But it is around these lines.
It also works for Quinoa, with the same "Rice" program and 1:1 with water by weight.
