[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I use mine for beans and quinoa. Even though quinoa is already quick in a normal pot, I find the texture is SO much better in the pressure cooker - fluffy and not sticky or wet.[/quote] Could you share your quinoa method? I find cooking it in a pot leaves it wet too. [/quote] I just follow the recipe that came with my pressure cooker (an electric one from Cuisinart). It calls for 1.5 cups quinoa and 2.25 cups water. I also add a teaspoon of olive oil to reduce foaming. 2 minutes at high pressure (the machine counts from when it hits the right pressure, so the 2 min does not include the heat-up phase), then let the pressure come down naturally for at least 10 minutes before opening. I rinse the quinoa first. 1.5 cups of dry quinoa makes a ton prepared, but I freeze the extra and find that it defrosts well. [/quote]
