Pressure Cooking Beans/Legumes (Dry & Soaked): To achieve best results
when cooking with dried or soaked beans/legumes, please refer to the below tips
and hints:
1. Rinse dried beans/legumes under cold water and drain; discard any pebbles
or other debris in batch.
2. Do not fill cooker more than half full to allow for beans/legumes to expand in
size.

prevent them from cooking properly.
5. Add 1-2 tablespoons of oil to beans/legumes to minimize frothing.
6. Release pressure when cooking dried beans/legumes by using the natural
release method for best results.
