and conveniently with the pressure cooker. With a pressure cooker it is not necessary to soak or simmer grains for several
hours.
During cooking many grains tend to froth, foam, and sputter and could cause the vent pipe to become blocked.
Therefore, to contain frothing and foaming during the cooking period, grains must be prepared in a bowl covered
with aluminum foil in the pressure cooker. 

The bowl can be metal, such as stainless steel, or oven-safe glass. If using glass, increase cooking time by 1 to 5 minutes
depending on the length of the recommended cooking time.
