Pressure Cooking Fresh or Dried Fruits: To achieve best results when
pressure cooking dried or fresh fruit, please refer to the below tips and hints:
1. Quick release method is recommended when pressure cooking fruit to
prevent from overcooking.

the cooking time is very short.

Pressure Cooking Beans/Legumes (Dry & Soaked): To achieve best results
when cooking with dried or soaked beans/legumes, please refer to the below
tips and hints:
1. Rinse dried beans/legumes under cold water and drain; discard any pebbles
or other debris in batch.
2. Do not fill the cooker more than half full to allow for beans/legumes to expand
in size.
3. Use enough liquid to cover the beans/legumes
4. Do not salt beans/legumes. Using salt while cooking the beans/legumes
prevents them from cooking properly.
5. Add 1-2 tablespoons of oil to beans/legumes to minimize frothing.
6. Release pressure when cooking dried beans/legumes by using the natural
release method for best results.
