These are for the presto pressure cookers.</p>
  3. <h1>Fresh vegetable</h1>
  5. <p>For fresh vegetables, pour liquid into cooker. Place vegetables on rack in cooker (only exception is collards, which ought to be placed directly into the liquid). Cook the vegetables the minimum amount of time indicated if you prefer your vegetables crisp. If you prefer your vegetables soft, cook them the maximum amount of time indicated.</p>
  7. <p>If the timetable says to cook 0 minutes, this means to cook food until the pressure regulator begins to rock, then cool cooker at once.</p>

  193. <h1>Grains</h1>
  195. <p>During cooking grains froth, foam, and sputter and can clog the vent pipe. To miminize frothing and foaming grains must be prepared in a bowl covered with aluminum foil (we've found that a pot lid sized to the bowl work well) in the pressure cooker. Preparing grains in a bowl also minimizes cleanup which can be difficult if the grains stick to the bottom of the cooker.</p>
  197. <p>The cooking bowl and cover ought to be metal, such as stainless steel.</p>
  199. <p>Combine the desired grain and the amount of water(or broth) indicated in the table below in a bowl which fits loosely in the pressure cooker. Cover bowl securely with aluminum foil or a pot lid, and pour 480 ml (2 cups) of water into cooker. Place bowl on rack in cooker.</p>
