Thanks for stopping by and sharing your method. I appreciate it!

I pressure cook on high for 10 minutes for all standard varieties and do natural pressure release. Perfect creamy textures and no exploded beans. I'll second your combination of brining and pressure cooking. Very time efficient as well, and it's just not that hard to set up the brining the night before.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8590241869561905455.post-78047000774468909112012-01-10T15:24:07.343-08:002012-01-10T15:24:07.343-08:00Mub, I'm hoping this method works for you too....Mub, I'm hoping this method works for you too... <br />I've quick soaked the beans in the pressure cooker as well in the past(without the brine)...but I found that it sort of made the beans lose their skins too much, get broken up a bit more.... and honestly it was more of a hassle for me... I think that was because I applied the quick soak method twice before finally cooking the beans. I would boil the beans a couple of times, rinse and then cooked the beans. But this was before the brine:)...<br /> I'll have to give the quick soak method a go...with the brine of course, to see how that goes. But I do prefer the overnight method.Elliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18029231204593874635noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8590241869561905455.post-82040218152928308232012-01-10T13:38:08.531-08:002012-01-10T13:38:08.531-08:00I always get ugly beans when I pressure cook mine ...I always get ugly beans when I pressure cook mine so I'm going to try this and see if it makes a difference (and try not to overcook them because that might be part of the problem too)! Do you ever "quick-soak" yours in the pressure cooker before actually cooking them or do you just do overnight soaks?mubhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10673719943332888707noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8590241869561905455.post-20206005571999726282012-01-07T14:51:20.604-08:002012-01-07T14:51:20.604-08:00Oh, Louise...thank you!

I too was skeptical, but I've been using the brine for some time now, and I love the flavor the salty brine adds to the beans. I haven't yet tried using a regular pot, as I prefer the pressure cooker. But I would love to hear your feedback on the beans... curious to see if you see a difference:). <br />Thanks for stopping by...it's always nice to hear from you:)Elliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18029231204593874635noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8590241869561905455.post-30654281616889635982012-01-06T19:33:07.996-08:002012-01-06T19:33:07.996-08:00We consume a lot of beans and have been soaking be...We consume a lot of beans and have been soaking beans for generations before cooking them.
