How long does it take to cook barley in pressure cooker?

Cooking barley in a pressure cooker typically takes about 20 to 25 minutes. For best results, soak the barley for a few hours or overnight before cooking to reduce the cooking time. Use a ratio of about 1 cup of barley to 3 cups of water or broth, and allow for natural pressure release for about 10 minutes after cooking. This helps achieve a tender texture.
