Using a pressure cooker to cook porridge is very fast and very simple. It only takes about 20 minutes to cook porridge. The porridge cooked in this way tastes very good and is very convenient, but when using We must be careful when using a pressure cooker because it is quite dangerous to use.
Be sure not to put too much water or rice in the pressure cooker. Generally, it is about 60% of the total volume. The more water or rice, the greater the risk of explosion. It is also best to check whether there are vents every time you use it. If it's clogged, open it as soon as possible. When it starts to deflate automatically when cooking porridge, wait for about five minutes. There should be an instruction manual.
Tips for cooking porridge in a pressure cooker
1. The amount of porridge should not be too much, generally no more than 2/3 of the pot capacity. The ratio of rice to water is about 1:3 .
2. Wash the rice, put it into the pot and add water. Before closing the pot lid, be sure to check whether the hole of the pressure limiting valve in the center of the pot lid is unobstructed. Are other valves normal? It is more convenient to use an electric pressure cooker. You can directly set the timer to the "cooking porridge" position or press the corresponding button (computer version).
No manual intervention is required after heating is started. When the porridge is cooked, lower the high-pressure valve to start the pot. No one can leave the ordinary pressure cooker while cooking porridge (this should be remembered).
3. You can use medium or high heat to cook at the beginning. After the water in the pot boils and the pressure limiting valve of the pressure cooker makes a "chi" sound, you should turn down the heat immediately to reduce the pressure of the pressure cooker. It is appropriate for the pressure limiting valve to make an intermittent "chichi" sound, and continue to burn in this low fire state for 5 to 7 minutes.
4. It’s time to make porridge. After the porridge is ready, turn off the heat. You can use a basin with water in it. Carefully hold the pot and put it into the cold water in the basin to cool down. When the pressure limiting valve of the pressure cooker falls, open the lid. (The grains of rice cooked in this way are very distinct. If you want to cook them a bit rotten, just wait until the valve cap stops breathing and then open the pressure cooker without cooling it in water.) Basically master the above skills.
The porridge cooked in the pressure cooker will not taste bad. Whether the porridge can be cooked well depends on the time and amount of water.
