How long does it take to cook porridge in a pressure cooker

As modern technology becomes more and more advanced, some daily necessities are becoming increasingly rich and diverse. Porridge is a food that many people like to drink because it can help digestion and protect the stomach and intestines. Moreover, for people who have no appetite, drinking porridge is a good choice. But anyone who has cooked porridge before should know that it is very difficult to cook good porridge in an ordinary pot. The pressure cooker uses the principle of air pressure to cook food. So how do you use a pressure cooker to make porridge?

【first step】

First we need to prepare the ingredients for cooking porridge. According to people's different tastes and needs, we can add different ingredients to the porridge. For example, appropriate amounts of rice, millet, glutinous rice, black rice, corn grits, sorghum rice, corn rice, etc., and appropriate amounts of water.

【Step 2】

We first wash the ingredients, then soak the above-mentioned rice in clean water and set aside.

【Step 3】

Put all the ingredients into a pressure cooker, put the pressure cooker on the fire and add water. When the water boils, pour in rice, millet, glutinous rice, black rice, corn grits, sorghum rice, and corn rice in turn. Adding water also requires some attention. Generally, the normal ratio is 1 cup of rice to 8 cups of water; if the porridge is a little sticky, add 1 cup of rice to 5 cups of water; if the porridge is a little thin, add 1 cup of rice to 10 cups of water.

【Step 4】

Seal the lid of the pressure cooker tightly and cook it over medium or high heat. After the water in the pot boils, when the pressure-limiting valve of the pressure cooker makes a “hissing” sound, you should turn down the heat immediately so that the pressure-limiting valve of the pressure cooker makes an intermittent “hissing” sound, and use a small bowl to cover the pressure-limiting valve of the pressure cooker. Continue to cook on low heat for 5 to 7 minutes. Then you can turn off the fire and wait for the temperature in the pressure cooker to cool down before you can open the lid.

【Step 5】

Bring out the porridge and serve it. A bowl of delicious porridge is ready!

Wait until the gas is almost completely released and there is no excess gas escaping from the safety gas limiting valve. Then you can open the lid of the pressure cooker and serve the porridge.
