Thanks Jeff. I came here from your website. This whole beans thing has been driving me nuts! As I understand, microwave and crock pot are not hot enough for most beans for safety purposes. But, cooking stove top in a regular pot is lengthy and can be messy. (I want to eat them every day.) This pressure cooker method precludes all those potential problems. I will get one within a week. Thank you for the excellent demonstration. (I have never used one before.)

@idiotnumber8 HI there -- Sassy here. Once you start pressure cooking your beans, you will become SO spoiled you'll wonder why everyone doesn't just buck up and do it too. I realize though, that some people are afraid of the unknown. So I applaud you! :)

Also, it's our 5-year VC anniversary and this month (2/12) we are having a special on our pressure cookers. You can check it out by visiting our site and clicking the Pressure Cooker tab. Thanks! Have fun! :) xo

@vegancoach Hi Sassy. You are right, I love my pressure cooker. Startled me the first time using it; but then paid more attention to the instructions!:-) It's great! For one thing, it also does brown rice---and---wild rice beautifully, as well. I want to here thank you folks again for posting this flick here, for it is what got me pass my apprehension of taking a shot at it. I also congratulate you folks for the user friendly presentations on your site. Regards to you and Jeff.

@idiotnumber8 Well, that is fantastic news! So happy you're loving your pressure cooker. I find it to be such a great way to make soup with beans/lentils and root veggies like potatoes and sweet potatoes and carrots because it all cooks so quickly. Perfect on busy nights -- which seems to be every night!!! :) Giant hugs to you, Sassy

suppose i don't have a pressure cooker. what is the alternative?

[vegancoach]

@uesrname187 Hey there -- Have you checked out the How To Cook Beans page of our website? There are links to pages that show both how to cook beans with a pressure cooker AND how to cook beans without a pressure cooker (in a regular pot on the stovetop) along with pretty much everything else you need to know to make beans! So just go to VeganCoach[dot]com, find BEANS on the nav bar, and then click the link on the page that says Cooking Beans Without A Pressure Cooker. ;) xo

@vegancoach haven't been to the site. I'll go take a look. Thanks for the info. Looking to shed some pounds, so I'm gonna try out a (near) vegetarian diet for a while, see how it goes. Might have to sneak a little piece of chicken every so often! :) thank you!

@vegancoach The soy beans came out very moist, I am making a stew with the cooked beans rigjht now. The Soy bean loaf recipe was from the Bragg's Book, but it did not come out well, not sure where I went wrong. I can beef stew and chili and turkey an dpork for my spouse, I am trying to get him off meat! I haven't had meat in 11 yrs now! The Pressure canner can preserve foods for 3 to 5 yrs ( meats, etc) canners reach temps over 240 degrees which kills botulsim and other bugs

@savgal1211 Ooooh, sounds cool. I have never used a pressure canner -- can you actually cook beans in one?! We are visiting San Francisco right now where it's cold and rainy (although I loooove the rain), and veggie stew sounds fantastic. xo
