Add enough water, or use a flavoring liquid, to cover beans by 2 inches, but do not exceed the half-fill rule. Add 1-2 tablespoons cooking oils to minimize foaming.
Please review the “Manual Timing” instructions to regulate cooking time for rice. Pressure Cooked Grains: Whole grains cook very quickly in the Ultra Cooker. Here are a few things to keep in mind: Timing varies from one batch of grains to the next, depending upon age and storage conditions.
