You usually only fill a preasure cooker a third of the way up. Mines roughly about 2 pints to this point when making stock.

I would try it with 2 or 3 pints, enough to cover everything and add more if you find you need it.

I also would add more than 1 stock cube. I mix mine with hot water so its disolved when it starts cooking.

About 4-6ozs of green lentils. If it is too thick you can use more stock to thin it down.
