(pressure cookers and beans)

[Guest guest]

I have a Fagor Splendid 6 qt and a 10qt.  Salt beans when done, they take about

an hour, retain all their flavor.  I don't presoak the beans, I add one tsp. of

oil to each cup of beans and the skins stay on, for gas toss in a chunk of kombu

(dried seaweed get it from the Asian store very inexpensive or Whole Foods and

pay more) or you can toss in some epasote or epazote,  not driend it's useless

then. The kombu also adds flavor and you can eat it, actually is will almost

disappear.

One pill makes you larger, and one pill makes you small. And the ones that

mother gives you don't do anything at all. Go ask Alice, when she's ten feet

tall.

Ok Dena,

 

What brand, make and model are your cookers? Having a recommendation from a

fellow veg may save me hours of research.

 

When you omit the soaking step do the beans still have their usual less

socially pleasant after effects? Can you season/salt the beans when you use the

pressure cooker and not have them stay hard?

 

Thank you,

Grant
