BEANS
:
1.
Sort beans and remove any pebbles or bad looking beans. Rinse dried
beans under cold water and drain. Add the beans to the cooking bowl.
Note: You do not need to soak beans before pressure cooking. The cooking
chart displays both unsoaked and soaked cook times.
2.
Add 1–2 tablespoons of butter or oil to the beans to minimize frothing.
Note: Do not fill the cooking bowl more than half full, as the beans will
expand during cooking. Always use enough liquid to cover the beans.
3.
If the bowl is not already in the cooking base, add the bowl to the base and
follow the cooking process outlined in the "Operating Instructions" section.
4.
Use the Natural Pressure Release method for best results.
