Cooking Times and Basic Instructions
BASIC RECIPE FOR BEANS (Continued)
1. Place beans, water, oil, and any optional ingredients in the Removable Cooking
Pot.
2. Pull Lid Handles apart and set Lid on Cooker. Slide Safety Lock to LOCK position.
Point Pressure Regulator Knob to PRESSURE.
3. Set Pressure Mode for HIGH and COOK TIME according to type of bean (see fol-
lowing chart). Press START/STOP Button to begin operation.
4. When Pressure Cooker beeps three times, STOP Light will illuminate. If time per-
mits, allow pressure to come down naturally until the red Pressure Indicator Rod
drops, about 30 minutes. Otherwise, allow pressure to come down naturally for 20
minutes and quick-release remaining pressure by pressing QUICK STEAM
RELEASE Button in short bursts.
5. Slide Safety Lock to UNLOCK. Pull Handles apart and remove Lid.
CAUTION: WHEN REMOVING LID, STEP BACK AND TILT LID AWAY FROM
YOU TO AVOID STEAM.
6. Add salt to taste. If beans are still quite hard, return to high pressure for a few more
minutes. If beans require just a little more cooking, press the COOK MODE Button
for BROWN. The Red Indicator Light next to BROWN will be lit. Then press the
START and cook uncovered until done. Stir in more water if cooking liquid
becomes very thick.
7. If time permits, allow beans to cool in cooking liquid.
8. Ladle beans into a colander set over a large bowl. Drain beans thoroughly. Remove
bay leaves. Reserve cooking liquid for use as broth, if you wish.
