- Press “Function” to select the "Quick Porridge" function on the pressure cooker.

Tips:
- Marinating the rice with salt and oil before cooking helps to make the porridge smoother.
- The amount of water and seasoning can be adjusted according to personal preference for texture and taste.
- The porridge will expand during cooking, so it's important to leave space in the pressure cooker. All ingredients, including water, should not exceed the "Rice" water level 9 in the pressure cooker.
- When cooking porridge, it's recommended to use natural pressure release to prevent the porridge from spilling out through the pressure release valve, which can be dangerous.
