What’s Cook’en:

Tidbits in using a pressure cooker: Many have preset buttons. Each pressure

cooker is a little different, but there are basic ways in using Instant Pots manually

without preset buttons. There are different kinds of pressure cookers, Stove top

and Digital.

Pros for cooking rice in pressure cooker is it is evenly cooked, retains flavor, cuts

time, less liquid needed, cooks lighter and fluffier. Pressure cookers can replace

many cooking tools, it is more versatile. It can sauté, slow cook, steam cook,

pressure cook, bottling etc. So you can use it to cut down on appliances in your

kitchen.

Terms:

Natural release- decompress by its self

Quick release- manually release pressure

RICE (WHITE) 3 MIN. Natural release (total about 15)

RICE (BROWN) 12 MIN. Natural release (total about 20)

(Brown rice will become your favorite when cooking in pressure cooker)

BYU PathwayConnect

(click collapsable arrow to the right to see details) ---->

(updated July 22, 2020)

Early last year our stake joined with a few others in our area to start a BYU PathwayConnect site specifically for Pleasant Grove and the surrounding communities, to be held in the PG High Seminary building. Since then over 150 students lives have been touched. Now, 16 months and 3 semesters later we wonder if this might be the moment the Lord was preparing us for. With social restrictions in place, many adults who have always dreamed of completing college may now have more time to do so. BYU PathwayConnect has also proven effective in strengthening individuals as they deal with life’s challenges--including the emotional rollercoaster caused by COVID-19 illnesses, social distancing, quarantines, and a general feeling that their lives aren’t going anywhere. We are sending this message out to the Grove Creek stake members recommending they consider making BYU PathwayConnect a part of a personal plan to move forward and/or helping someone else find this path forward. We have attached a document to reference to all who may considered our invitation or know of someone who might.

We encourage all to read the document below for prospective students. We encourage young adults (18 to 30) not on a current educational path to register for BYU PathwayConnect. Adults (31 or older) who have never attended college, or attended some college and would like to finish, we hope will prayerfully consider whether this is the right opportunity and the right time to consider registering as well.

Those who feel this is the right time, please register for Fall semester at https://byupathway.org .

We have been witnesses that BYU PathwayConnect has enriched the lives of its students. Most of them will say their testimonies have been strengthened, they’ve acquired the courage to venture down new paths, and feel the Lord is aware of them and their needs.

We urge everyone to make it a matter of prayer for yourself and others you love.

Thank you,
