   Bring the stock or water up to the boil in the cooker. Stir in the quinoa and salt to taste. Lock the lid in place, and immediately set the timer for 2 minutes. Bring toward high pressure over high heat. Turn off the heat after 2 minutes; then let the pressure drop naturally for 10 minutes without removing the cover. Remove the lid, tilting it away from you to allow any excess steam to escape.

   If the quinoa is not quite done, replace the lid and cook over medium heat for a few minutes longer, adding a few tablespoons of water if the mixture seems dry.
