RICE AND GRAINS
DRIED BEANS
• Before cooking dried beans, pick over and discard any broken or shriveled beans or bits of dirt and debris.
Rinse beans and drain.
• Beans may be soaked overnight, but the multicooker allows you to cook beans without presoaking.
• Onions, garlic, celery, sprigs of fresh herbs or a bay leaf may be added for additional flavor. Do not salt before
cooking, as salt inhibits cooking.
• Cook beans in large batches (1 pound beans + 8 cups water + seasonings + onion, garlic, herbs to taste) and
freeze in 1-cup amounts to add to other dishes.
• Never fill multicooker more than half full when cooking beans.
• Add 2 teaspoons oil per cup of beans to prevent foaming.
• After cooking beans, clean lid, gasket, pressure limit valve, and red float valve carefully.
• When cooking unsoaked beans, use High pressure and Natural Pressure Release.
• When cooking soaked beans, use High pressure and a combination of Natural Pressure Release for 10 minutes
and then Quick Pressure Release.
• If beans are not completely cooked (this is partially dependent on the age of the dried beans, something you
will have no control over), select Reduce and allow the beans to simmer until cooked tender. As with
vegetables, it is better to undercook and allow to simmer to complete cooking.
