Cooking Beans in Pressure Cooker

Cooking Beans in Pressure Cooker

OK, so you have one of these amazing pots and now you are wondering about cooking beans in a pressure cooker. Actually this is one of the simplest things you can do. It is fast, easy and very tasty.

Once you have your beans fully cooked, they are ready to be used in a wide variety or recipes, even recipes calling for canned beans. They are soft and tasty and all you need to remember is to adjust the seasoning.

So here goes with the basic method:

I always start by soaking the beans in hot water for an hour. Place the beans in a suitable bowl, pour boiling water over them and soak for an hour.

After the soaking process, drain them and place them in your pot. Cover them with water, up to a few inches above them and close your pot. Now you can place it on the stove and cook it at the highest pressure for about thirty minutes and you're done. You are now ready to make any dish you desire with them.

You will be surprised at how soft and tasty they will be. Now you can use any of your favorite recipes to make tasty bean dishes. Our family particularly loves a nice thick and tasty soup. I add lots of stuff such as fried bacon, onions, potatoes, sweet potatoes and veggies to it.

All you have to do with it now is cook it for about another fifteen minutes to thirty minutes and your soup is ready. The time will depend on the amount of veggies you add and how finely you have chopped them.

One very important thing I have to draw your attention to is, never add salt to them until they are completely soft. If you add the salt before that, you will never get them really soft no matter how long you cook them!

So, as you can see, cooking beans in a pressure cooker is really fast and easy.
