This worked wonderfully in the pinch that ended up being my dinner! I combined this method with the "Hot Soak:" option from <br/>http://low-cholesterol.food.com/recipe/no-soak-pressure-cooker-rice-and-beans-126743 <br/>Beans melted in the mouth - Easily the best pinto beans I had ever tasted! <br/><br/>Suggestions on seasoning them after would be welcome though :) Thoughts anyone?
RECIPE SUBMITTED BY
I'm a professor of physics and astronomy at a small liberal arts college.
My husband is a good cook and a real dear about helping out with the cooking, but I don't surrender the kitchen too often, because I really love cooking, even after a long day—though I really appreciate recipes that are quick and easy.
Aside from cooking, I also enjoy reading (mostly science fiction, though I try to keep my horizons broad) and board games, card games, and role-playing games.
