Beans, pressure cookers, real life experience versus what the charts say

[Guest guest]

This is the problem I'm having. Miss Vickie's chart says to pressure-cook

black beans which have been soaked for 12 minutes. Lorna Sass says 3-6

minutes! People here who have actually done it say 30-45 minutes, although

I think without having soaked them. I found an recipe of mine from the

1980s when I was using a jiggle-top pressure cooker, and my recipe had me

cooking black beans (unsoaked) for 30 minutes. There's a huge difference

between 30-45 minutes unsoaked and 3 to 12 minutes, soaked. That's why I'm

looking for real-life experience with it.

Re: Dried Beans and Peas in Pressure Cooker -

Charts with Guidlines

 

 

 

 

 

I rinse the dried beans and then add to a pot of boiling water and boil for

5 minutes, covered. Turn off the burner, leave pot on hot burner and keep

covered. Let set for 1 hour and then rinse again and cover with water to 2

inches over the beans. Cook in your pressure cooker according to this dried

bean chart. Lentils and split peas, don't need to be soaked and a few others

as you'll see on this chart.

I posted my instructions and my PC isn't electric. I make perfect beans

including black beans weekly.

The time can vary, just try them and if not done repressure them. I've done it

many times, then when you have it down make a note so you will know the next

time. It's very easy really.
