Re: Question about pressure cooking....

[Guest guest]

Thanks for the tips!! It's interesting that in some cases it doesn't

save a lot of time cooking in the pressure cooker. One " selling

points " I've often read about pc's are the quicker cooking times. When

I cook rice in a pot I usually let it go for 35 minutes and it's done.

I've never cooked rice in a pc. I'm going to get som more kamut and

try it again.
