It is necessary
- - pearl barley;
- - water;
- - salt;

Instructions
Step 1
Pearl barley, unlike many other grain crops, has a big drawback - the duration of cooking. To cook the barley correctly and get a tasty dish, sort out the cereals, rinse thoroughly, transfer to a bowl, cover with cold water and leave for 10-12 hours. For 1 liter of water, take 1 glass of pearl barley. This method requires a long preliminary soaking, which is not always convenient.
Step 2
To quickly cook barley, sort out the cereals, rinse thoroughly and pour into boiling water, boil the cereals for 2-3 minutes over high heat. Drain the water and fill the cereal with cold water. Put on fire and bring to a boil, reduce heat to low, add salt, butter and cook until the water evaporates completely.
Step 3
For quick preparation of barley, sort out the groats, rinse, cover with hot water and bring to a boil. Drain the water and refill the cereal with hot, but slightly salted water. Add oil, mix well, close the lid and bring it to readiness in an oven preheated to 180 degrees.
Step 4
You can quickly cook barley in a microwave oven. Currently, barley is on sale, packaged in sachets. It costs a little more, but it takes little time and effort to prepare it. Take a bag of pearl barley, place it in a glass container, fill it with cold water and put it in the microwave at maximum power for 10-15 minutes. Then reduce the power and leave until the cereal is completely cooked.
Step 5
Use a pressure cooker for quick barley cooking. To do this, pour water into the container, pour the pearl barley into a bowl for cooking rice and turn on the double boiler. The cooking time is usually indicated in the recommendations when buying household appliances.
