  22. I'd request that you give some more instruction on how to actually "cook it". What is the water ratio? Do you cook it in the pressure cooker covered, for how many whistles? .. or just open?

    Newbies like me rely on this info too :) I am going to attempt this without knowing that info ....and hope it turns out good.
