Yes, I love my steamer! They are so easy to use - set it and forget it!

I appreciate you commenting too!

so do you add the salt after? or do you eat it fresh :]

[CookingWithKimberly]

Hi kissiq!

I put the salt in afterward because it helps the beans cook faster. When you add salt to the water of beans, it can take significantly longer to cook them...not sure the chemistry of it all, but it's true.

It's important to note that you only want to cook other things that are similar in size to rice, such as lentils, mung beans, moong beans, etc.

Great idea!!! Awesome!

I've never tried moong beans so maybe I will try this out. I do have a steamer, I love it. Thanks for posting! :)

Can your rice cooker cook garbanzo beans, pinto beans, kidneys etc? vs using a pressure cooker? I have a small living space and do alot of canning but didn't want to buy another pressure cooker if I didn't have to - we also eat alot of rice so I thought if the rice cooker would work for beans I'd go that way..appreciate your feedback :) Tx
