Directions
(1) Put beans in a large bowl and add 4 c water and 1 teaspoon salt.
Let 12 hours stand overnight. For quick soaking, put beans, 4 c water, and 2 teaspoon salt in pressure cooker. Cover and bring up to high pressure. Remove from heat and release pressure by running cold water over the cover. Let stand for 3 hours. (2) Drain and rinse the beans and transfer to pressure cooker. Cover and bring up to high pressure. Reduce heat to stabilize pressure cooker and cook for times indicated below. Release pressure by running COLD water over the valve on the handle, do not open it UNTIL all the pressure is RELEASED; this minimizes the foaming. Drains beans. NOTE: Cooking time of beans are variable. Age, the season they were harvested, and where they were grown all play a part. However, the times given below are good estimates for beans that are tender, but still hold their shape. If you like softer beans or want to puree them, increase cooking time by 50 to 100 percent.
