Pressure Cooking Dry Beans

[RCK62Here]

I have two questions, 1. If I add spices, or in some peoples cases, something like a Ham Hock, will the flavor be infused into the beans? Of if you are using anything else, would the spice infuse into the food?

2. What should I do with red beans and the toxic stuff that they produce? Would the high heat of a pressure cooker take care of that?

Oh, and by the way, you are very pretty.

BEANS GOOD,. HOLD THE FARTS PLEASEEEEEEEEEEEE HAHA

[sleestack808]

what about the gas release from the beans? I thought you have to soak them to release the gasses that make you fart.

I'm not familiar with substituting beans for oil or butter in recipes. Where did you find out about that? I'm not vegan so some recipes that vegans use that don't use oil or butter taste a little odd to me. Any comments though on how you chose to use beans instead of oil or butter would be appreciated. I assume the beans you're using are Great Northern or Navy beans? Are they the only kind that can substitute for oil or butter? Thanks.

@drcoolit Navy beans and great northern are pretty much the same (I think) ... and when used in baking instead of oil, you can't tell the difference. Same if you were to use black beans in a chocolate cake or cookies - you wouldn't taste it. It just replaces the bad fats from oils with better nutrition.

The one thing I like about using a pressure cooker is that I can scald canning jars and lids to use for left-overs. I live alone and make enough chili or other soups to can for later use. Do these electric pc's get up to pressure for canning after the jars are filled and topped with lids?

[MyFreedomChannel]

@metaspherz No! Never, never use electric pressure cookers for canning; they're not designed for that purpose because (a), the removable pot is too small, and (b), the heating element could be damaged by the weight of the jars. There are stove-top pressure cookers that double as canners. I think the All-American brand has them, and maybe Presto does, too.

I still like my basic one.

To sort out the bad beans/rocks/debris spread them on the dining room table and flatten them out. We did this with our mother; it was a fun & wonderful way to share the preparations.

[metaspherz]

@JimzAuto Wow! I do remember sorting the beans on a table as a kid after my dad bit into a 'rock' the size of a boulder, as he'd put it. Trouble is he was the soup maker of the family, so he was to blame for the chipped tooth in the first place. I got my soup making skills from helping him with the prep. He made the best chili using beans that he cooked fresh -- not from a can or jar. In Michigan, Fall & Winter still means soup for dinner severall times a month.

man, you have all these videos down to a science, Like the chemistry of bread. I get it now!!! I am not usually this excited :P

[exodous02]

You should mention that for most foods an electric pressure cooker doesn't get enough pressure, it is very limited on what it can cook with pressure. In fact with beams I can never get them fully cooked in a electric pressure cooker, I use a normal pressure cooker. I served my Mission in Brazil so using them was normal.

@exodous02 I cook my beans and most everything else in mine and it works AWESOME! I've never had a problem with limited cooking.

I came here looking for a video about cooking beans but I found it difficult to follow because I was paying way too much attention to her pretty eyes. I'll have to watch again to see what she said about the beans :)

[FlashOhJoy]

Great video! I don't have an Electric Pressure cooker, but you certainly have me thinking! I'm a stovetop user...

Thank you for posting this.

@ 5:04 IS THE ABSOLUTE TRUTH!

Thankyou sweetie, for mentioning the extra time involved with pressure cooking. When manufacturers brag (advertise) about how quick pressure cookers cook, they conveniently do not tell consumers that the working pressure of the pot takes time to build, even before the actual pressure timing starts. The cool-down phase is another stretch of time, and much of this depends on the maunufacturer/cooker/meal requirements.

I'm always learning more about my cooker.

[ZombiedustXXX]

cont.: Cooking beans in a pressure cooker does indeed reduce the total time of cooking a pot of beans! I like the idea of not hovering over for two hours plus, over the stove. I live at a moderate 3500' feet, and people who live in higher elevations would even gain more advantage with a pressure cooker. :D

[OzeBoy25]

Never leave a pressure cooker unattended.

[wonkeyleggs]

yea like 1971emily said are they 'Butter Beans' or what type are they can you taste the difference in the cooking ?

[GaryMule]

Great Northern

[1971emily]

What kind of beans are these? Navy or Lima? This is the first I heard of using them as replacements 1:1 for butter and oil and I am entrigued!

[atticus9799]

Great vid! I love my electric pressure cooker. I have a wolfgang puck version that has settings for rice,beans,meat, veggies,stew and soup. Not thinking just pick your button and go! I make a lot of my regular weekly meals in my pressure cooker. Our family fav, salsa chicken. I put the chicken in frozen. Thanks again! Noreen
