Guest guest Report post Posted December 14, 2009 Ok Dena, What brand, make and model are your cookers? Having a recommendation from a fellow veg may save me hours of research. When you omit the soaking step do the beans still have their usual less socially pleasant after effects? Can you season/salt the beans when you use the pressure cooker and not have them stay hard? Thank you, Grant Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
