cooking beans in the pressure cooker question

[Guest guest]

I rinse the dried beans and then add to a pressure cooker pot. Cover with about

3 times the amount of water as beans. Put on the lid and tighten. Put on a

burner and heat on high until it comes to a boil, which you can tell by a

hissing sound. Turn the burner down to low and cook for 5 minutes. Leave the

pot on the burner and turn off the heat. Let soak for 30 minutes to an hour on

the same burner. Open the pressure cooker and add a tsp of oil. Close the pot

to seal again. Turn the burner back on high and bring back to a boil(listen

for a hissing sound). Turn burner down to med. low and cook for about 20

minutes - 30 minutes.

 

Put your pot in the sink and run cold water over it, until you hear the release.

Remove lid and check to beans for tenderness. Add salt and seasonings to taste.

I like to saute some onions, garlic, celery and carrots until tender crisp and

add to the cooked beans. They still have some crunchiness to them, which I

enjoy.

 

Enjoy,

Judy

Thanks, Judy. I will adapt your suggestions to my electric digital pressure

cooker.
