Pressure Cooking Fresh or Dried Fruits: To achieve the 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.
2. One-half cup of water is sufficient for cooking any quantity of fruit because
the cooking time is extra short.
3. Add sugar to fruit only after being cooked, not before.

Pressure Cooking Beans/Legumes (Dry & Soaked): To achieve the 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 correctly.
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.
