Soaking Methods for Beans
Overnight:
Place three cups of cold water to each cup of sorted, rinsed beans in large
bowl. Allow to soak in a cool place overnight (or 8 to 10 hours). Drain water from beans
and rinse thoroughly. This method re-hydrates the beans, giving them a better texture with
great cooking results.
Fast Soak:
If you are in a hurry, fast-soaking beans in the 3-in-1 Cooker will also work just
as well as overnight soaking. You will want to use 4 cups of water per 1 cup of sorted,
rinsed beans for this method. Add 1 teaspoon of salt per 1 cup of beans. Do not fill Cooking
Pot more than half full, because there may be some foaming during cooking. Use the
pressure setting recommended in the chart. Lock Lid in place, set pressure to HIGH and
program cooking time according to the chart above. When cooking is complete, use quick
release
method (see page 7) to reduce pressure by turning the Pressure Regulator Knob to
Steam. When pressure is released, open Lid, drain and rinse well. Beans are ready for
adding to your favorite recipe.
