Page 18: Dry Beans, Peas, And Lentils
Dry Beans, Peas, and Lentils The pressure cooker is ideal for preparing dry beans, peas, and lentils quickly. However, these foods have a tendency to froth and foam during cooking, which could cause the vent pipe to become blocked. Therefore, it is necessary to follow these procedures: Soaking Soaking before pressure cooking is strongly recommended for dry beans and peas, except lentils and black-eyed peas. -

Page 21: Slow Cooking Recipes
Slow Cooking Recipes Due to the nature of slow cooking, meat does not brown as it would if cooked in a skillet or oven. It is not necessary to brown meat or poultry before slow cooking, but you may prefer the flavor and appearance of browned meat. Browning ground beef, bacon, and sausage before slow cooking may be desirable to remove excess fat. -
