How to Cook Dry Beans in a Pressure Cooker

[@TsavoTouring]

Awesome thanks! It’s so hard to find people using an actual pressure cooker on YT.

[@Pul818]

That is so quick. Saves me a lot of time

[@sfgcrafts]

Wow, super easy and fast! I hate cooking beans because it's usually an all-day affair. Pressure cooker to the rescue!

[@lokidurden6473]

I now cook them after work, could never go back to the old way.

[@rolandnagy3327]

Same 🤙

[@monikita777]

Wow!! I've been wanting to learn how to do this a while. I have a pressure cooker and have never used it because of ... well.. the obvious.. LOL!!! But I do want to make my beans this way instead of buying store canned beans. Thanks for the tutorial!

[@monikita777]

Very nice! thanks for your help.

[@DaysWellSpent]

You'll never want canned beans again!

I have been cooking beans once a week for over 40 years, plus another 18 years watching my mother. Soaking the beans cuts the cooking time I agree and also let the pressure release itself. Depend how you are going to eat your beans, by itself like soup 4 inches of water is ok. I eat with rice, so 2 inches is enough.I never put my beans in the fridge, it wont go bad, we sprout beans for a week and it wont go bad.I am curious and I read some of the comments and people say that beans cause gas. I believe it does but if you keeping eating it will stop some day.

[@DaysWellSpent]

Thanks for the information about sprouting the beans.

[@Myiesha12514]

I’ve been eating them for 25 years my entire life and it does indeed go away

[@alexgordonepic]

Love my pressure cooker. Love to add onion celery peppercorns bay garlic, carrot, etc... just leave the salt until after so peas, beans, etc get soft in cooker. Adding salt tends to make Fava, chickpeas, etc take much longer to soften up

[@alexgordonepic]

Also you can use way less water with good pressure cooker. May not even have to cover fully depending on been pea etc

[@jerryschneider145]

Thank you so much, that is exactly what I need to know. I also want to can beans, well ham and bean soup.

[@DaysWellSpent]

I'm planning to share a video early next week showing how I make ham and bean soup (left-overs from today's ham) and can it in the pressure cooker!

[@jerryschneider145]

@@DaysWellSpent Sounds great, I will watch.

[@olusolaayo-omole2851]

What if my cooker has no pressure guage? How many minutes does it have to cook for approximately before I turned the burner off ? Thanks.

[@fredrickkinkton1466]

Do I have to soak them and what’s the cook time if I don’t?

[@DaysWellSpent]

You don't have to but it is a good idea. I'm not sure about the cooking time for non-soaked beans because I always soak ours.

[@concrete490]

hmmm. I thought soaking wasn't necessary when using pressure cookers. 🤔

[@DaysWellSpent]

You don't have to soak them but it helps prevent digestion issues.

[@concrete490]

Oh. Thanks

[@ikemen1]

Soaking bean: Oligosaccharides (Causes the gas) aren’t the only nutrient which leaches out of beans when you soak them. Water-soluble vitamins, such as riboflavin, thiamin, and folic acid (which are all very high in beans) all are lost. Without soaking the beans you will have to add a little more cooking time..

[@lokidurden6473]

I like a smokey flavor so I'm soaking mine overnight in liquid smoke. I hope it works!

[@zippy2641]

Why are you pressure cooking your beans before canning them? Pressure canning IS pressure cooking, so your cooking them twice. I believe they recommend the quick soak method before pressure canning.

[@DaysWellSpent]

You can quickly cook them in a pressure cooker to use instead of cooking them on the stovetop.

[@isaz597]

is 4 to 5 inches water in the pressure cooker above the beans or from the base of the pressure cooker?

[@isaz597]

+Days Well Spent I'm really sorry I'm confused by your response. I asked about cooking beans in a pressure cooker but your reply is seems to be about canning as you've mentioned "canner" & "jars"

[@DaysWellSpent]

Sorry, I did miss read it. I should have finished my coffee before replying. Yes, 4-5" above the beans.

[@isaz597]

+Days Well Spent lol thanks ever so much for the advice. have a good day

[@e.obrien8421]

I feel that my beans taste different when I cook them in the pressure cooker

[@PantherCrane]

It’s all about the seasoning

[@beachbum4691]

Please, Do your beans taste better or worse? And do you know anything at all about seasoning beans before they are either soaked or pressure cooked? I just bought a pressure cooker it hasn't arrived yet, but I'm mostly reading the comments because they are written by people with experience of pressure cookers, they know what a waste of time, and what is legitimately helpful. Thank you

[@beachbum4691]

@@PantherCrane please, which seasonings you use?., I don't have the first idea? - Thank you.

[@TheVeganBear]

I either destroy the beans are they're undercooked. i suck using a pressure cooker

[@DaysWellSpent]

Perhaps over cooking or using too much pressure?

[@TheVeganBear]

Days Well Spent I think the biggest problem is my pot is really big it usually takes 25 Mins just to get to pressure.

[@TheVeganBear]

Also my cooker only has 2 setting for pressure no idea what the psi is for both

[@DaysWellSpent]

That does make it hard.

[@TheVeganBear]

***** I probably should since they do all the work for you but i bought a German pressure cooker for $550 so I want to learn rather than switch to a $100 electric one.

[@rogerpease2286]

Loos good

[@mauritiusdunfagel9473]

I never soak my beans!

The thumbnail for this video is 🤮

[@the1tigglet]

I'm watching this in 2021 I'm farely certain that this isn't what anyone expected when we read pressure cooker. I thought it would be the one from walmart.

[@DaysWellSpent]

I have a video and blog post for that type too.

[@mrpoop123]

This is a real pressure cooker not an instant pot
