To sort out the bad beans/rocks/debris spread them on the dining room table and flatten them out. We did this with our mother; it was a fun & wonderful way to share the preparations.
I appreciate you taking the time to make this video. I know it helped me as well as countless other. Oh yeah as a side note, I added salted bacon for flavor.
Great vid! I love my electric pressure cooker. I have a wolfgang puck version that has settings for rice,beans,meat, veggies,stew and soup. Not thinking just pick your button and go! I make a lot of my regular weekly meals in my pressure cooker. Our family fav, salsa chicken. I put the chicken in frozen. Thanks again! Noreen
Thanks for this video. I have a ton of dried beans and no time. I also learned that beans can be used in place of oil. Thanks. Now to decide which pressure cooker to get.
@JimzAuto Wow! I do remember sorting the beans on a table as a kid after my dad bit into a 'rock' the size of a boulder, as he'd put it. Trouble is he was the soup maker of the family, so he was to blame for the chipped tooth in the first place. I got my soup making skills from helping him with the prep. He made the best chili using beans that he cooked fresh -- not from a can or jar. In Michigan, Fall & Winter still means soup for dinner severall times a month.
I put the pressure cooker on induction stove top, heats really fast, then run under cold water when cooking is over. That does save me a lot of time. 2 minutes for a pound or more of broccoli
I have a stove top and an electric pressure cooker. I like them both and I use them both. The electric pc is good for unattended cooking but if I have time I use the stovetop. I am not an expert, I bought both pressure cookers in the last year and am learning to use them. I find the biggest question I have is how long do I cook this food for, and this is sort of a learn by doing experience. But even when the time isn't exactly right, the food is still ok and not ruined. I do not find the stove top pc confusing or dangerous.I can't release the lid when it is still under pressure just like the electric one. My biggest question for the stove top was how tricky is this going to be using my electric range? As it turns out, no problem. I start on high heat and when the jiggler starts to jiggle I turn heat down to around half way and it maintains pressure just about right. They both have their pros and cons, but I like them both Good video, thank you.
I adore my new found electric cooker! Not your Grandma's for sure! Two pieces, safe non-stick, easy - it cooks everything from vegetables, to meats, to soups, stews and beans (every kind!) in most cases less than half of the time of regular "stove cooking." I do soak my beans though for more tender results. It's te new "modern day - slow-fast cooker." Thanks for sharing.....
I bought an 8-cup Aroma rice cooker/steamer and want to cook dried black beans in it and wound up here. I really don't want to buy a pressure cooker, but I don't want to soak dried black beans for 24 hours either. NOTE - be sure to check the dried beans first for pebbles/rocks. No kidding.
Presoak the beans with added baking soda (⅛ tsp per ½ gallon of soaking water) in order to reduce indigestible carbs (raffinose) which cause flatulence.
Great video, cute chef, just one question 10 minutes to cook rice + 10-15 to heat and pressurize. +15-30 to cool / depressurize Cooks on stove top regular pot in 35 Pressure cooker may take longer than stove top if my math is right. Where is the savings there?
John Dough I cook oatmeal in the morning. Oatmeal, dates and coconut milk in the instant pot, shut the lid turn it on. Go and make tea / coffee, Do my business, pack my lunch. By that time the pressure had released and I eat oatmeal. Maybe you can put your pot on the stove and go run in the park like she did. See how that works for you?
Hi there! I was wondering about using puree for oil, whole beans for butter. Well, actually, whole for butter. When making e.g. brownies do you have an ultra choppy mixer? Could I use whole beans and stir/whip by hand? THANK YOU! p.s. I've never heard this suggestion - but I do use applesauce...except it doesn't work for cookies...do beans?
You should mention that for most foods an electric pressure cooker doesn't get enough pressure, it is very limited on what it can cook with pressure. In fact with beams I can never get them fully cooked in a electric pressure cooker, I use a normal pressure cooker. I served my Mission in Brazil so using them was normal.
Actually depending on how much rice you are cooking it can take as little as 5-7 minutes to pressurize. Then it only cooks for three and you wait 7 minutes before depressurizing it. So it's like 15 minutes.
You have to soak beans to release toxins prior to cooking and you also have to rinse them before you cook so that you don't actually cook them with the dirt and / or chemicals on them
+Erika May Only some beans do you have to either soak or boil them for 20 minutes. The only real danger is in eating some varieties of undercooked beans.
I believe it is heat that destroys the toxins. The toxins are especially high in kidney beans, cannellini (white kidney)beans and broad beans. See www.fda.gov/food/foodborneillnesscontaminants/causesofillnessbadbugbook/ucm071092.htm The FDA recommends (I believe for all beans) "Soak in water for at least 5 hours. Pour away the water. Boil briskly in fresh water, with occasional stirring, for at least 10 minutes. Undercooked beans may be more toxic than raw beans." Then simmer beans as usual. The high heat and pressure of a pressure cooker should get rid of most toxins. Do not cook beans in a slow cooker unless you have boiled them, as above, first.
But you do need to rinse the dirt off them. And you should sort beans thoroughly. I have actually found rocks in my beans before. So you're not just looking for shriveled beans. You are checking for and removing rocks and anything else that doesn't belong in the beans.
No they won't taste funny. Debbie makes a gluten free brownie using black beans and peanut butter. They are delicious and everyone who has tasted them was so surprised that they had beans and peanut butter instead of the flour and oil.
The one thing I like about using a pressure cooker is that I can scald canning jars and lids to use for left-overs. I live alone and make enough chili or other soups to can for later use. Do these electric pc's get up to pressure for canning after the jars are filled and topped with lids?
+Jerry Hubbard America's Test Kitchen is my goto source for great recipes, product tasting tests, and equipment reviews. I have yet to be disappointed.
+Jerry Hubbard I have a Fagor Elite 4qt Stainless Steel Pressure Cooker and have been using it for 4 years. It works great and I love it. I also have the T-Fal Clipso 3 & 8 qt. system and I love them as well. I recently sold my Magefesa 3/8qt stainless steel pressure cooker set I got in the 1990's because it did not work on my induction cooktop, but it was great and I used it many years and I was happy with it and it served me well. By the way, I just ordered an Instant Pot IP-LUX60-EWN-MM from Walmart ($79) and I can't wait til it arrives!!! It does pressure cooking and also acts as a slow cooker crock pot machine!!! Yes, I know it is only about 10-12 PSI and my stovetop PC's are about 15 PSI, but that's OK. All I have to do is adjust my cooking time. I'm getting older (67 1/2) and the other day forgot I had my pressure cooker going and almost had a real mess in my kitchen. I will like very much the 'set and forget' function of the Instant Pot!!!
“If you are not going to use this for a dessert, you can add spices” I want your yummy Holiday Bean Dessert dish! Lol wait you serve beans for dessert? Man you had a messed up childhood..
I use whole beans to replace butter in baked goods. It's super easy, just use the same amount of whole beans as you would butter. If you're nervous to try it out, start with half beans and half butter. Good luck!
I mash them a little if I'm using them to replace butter. I make a puree (meaning I add in water to make it the consistency of a smoothie) for oil or melted butter.
Thank you so much. I just bought a power cooker from Walmart last week. I have never used a pressure cooker before. Not one recipe for beans. Not even on their website. I'm anxious to try them. Can you overcook them? I have a 6 quart one is that a good size?
I'm not familiar with substituting beans for oil or butter in recipes. Where did you find out about that? I'm not vegan so some recipes that vegans use that don't use oil or butter taste a little odd to me. Any comments though on how you chose to use beans instead of oil or butter would be appreciated. I assume the beans you're using are Great Northern or Navy beans? Are they the only kind that can substitute for oil or butter? Thanks.
+Gerald Dias The natural release method allows for carry over cooking insuring the beans cook fully. If you release the pressure using the valve you will drop the temperature inside the pot by about 35 degrees which would slow the cooking process. There is a use for both fast and natural release methods.
They last for up to 6 months in the freezer? Since it's so quick and easy to cook them in the pressure cooker, why bother waiting (longer than it takes to cook them) to thaw them???
How much are stay at home mothers worth? My aunt was charged $8,000 per month to be taken care of to change her diapers and feed her. A mother is worth $8,000 per month. Wow.
I live off grid and an electric pressure cooker uses too much power for my system.. I use a stove top pressure cooker for cooking all my dried beans. I also cook plenty of other foods in my stove top cooker.
I love my non electric pressure cooker-I wanted something I could use if the power was out like on a campfire on low so the gasket doesn’t melt. I have cooked so many different foods in mine -imaginations are limitless
HWhit9000 You are so Right!!! Before microwave era just a skillet and some heat and no time at all you could do anything better than a microwave. I just love the pressure cooker-skies the limit on what ya can do.
@@tmo.48 Yes, I have a ham shank in my pressure cooker at this very moment. I also do a lot of pressure canning from the harvest of my garden along with a lot of meats that I hunt or get in bulk from sales. I'd be lost without my pressure canner and cooker.
HWhit9000 -You sounds like one smart cookie, very wise ways of what you doin with foods!!! There is SO much I need to learn (EVERY day I still learn)😶 mostly I learn from my bad mistakes but I am always so thankful when I finally get something through my thick skull. Ps- bone broth (from like you’re doin with the shank) has been helping me alot💪🏻👍🌱🌻
All beans are delicious! I will mix any bean with a lentil or wild rice (just add them about 1/2 done of the beans. Lima beans have always been my favorite
have cooked beans in pressure pro cooker but two times now they cook in that time recommended but beans on top never cook properly does any one have a clue to why this happens
Do you think maybe there's too many in there? That or perhaps not enough liquid? One other thing you can do is cook half the time, then stir, then cook the remaining time. Not ideal but it may fix the problem. What kind of pressure cooker are you using?
+pkay 411 I've read that salt will mess up the beans' skin when cooking and it's best not to add salt til after cooking. Personally, I don't care if the beans' skins fall off or not, I just like eating beans!!!
Yeah! In my cheap pressure cooker (electric)Power Preasure Cooker* 6 qrt - it took at least 45-50 min. but not sure 'cause l'm on the second half leaving them the first time 25 minutes with no sign of being done.
You can't do anything in a pressure cooker in 10 minutes, it has to heat up and cool down to open. It's really only a time saver if something would normally take longer than 30-40 minutes or so.
I've been cooking dry beans for years and though I rinse and soak my beans, I've NEVER gone through to find ''bad beans'' why do you? Is this an lds thing?
You are supposed to sort beans, which means you are removing anything that doesn't belong. More importantly than "bad beans" are rocks. I have actually found and removed rocks from my beans.
911 HELP I tried cooking beans in my PC 40% where hard as rocks 40% where exploding(over cooked) and 20% wher just right I followed instructions. What did I do wrong? My PC has a setting for beans. Plz help...
I came here looking for a video about cooking beans but I found it difficult to follow because I was paying way too much attention to her pretty eyes. I'll have to watch again to see what she said about the beans :)
If you watched the video, she talked about measuring amounts out, blending, then freezing. And using that in the place of either oil or butter. Apparently you can do that. Who knew? lol
