What each ingredient does
- Wheat berries
- Whole grains that soften during pressure cooking to become tender and chewy.
- Water
- Hydrates the wheat berries so the kernels swell and cook through.
The step that matters
Maintaining a steady hiss. Keeping heat low enough to hold a steady hiss, rather than letting pressure climb too high, keeps the cooker at a consistent pressure so the grains cook evenly without bursting or turning mushy.
