    you young whipper snappers with yer fancy hotpots! i've been cooking beans with old fashioned stove top pressure cookers for decades. damn proud of it too! we didn't even have TIMERS! we had to look at the clock. uphill in the snow both ways. oh, sorry. wrong lecture, lol! pressure cookers are for sure the way to cook beans. i come from the era where folks were afraid of them, and some glass stove tops weren't suited for that. nice that we now have these safe, small appliances.

    Made some lovely, creamy chickpeas yesterday following these video guidelines.I brined the beans for 24 hours because they were a few months past their "use by" date. Only change I made was to save the aquafaba to store the beans in the fridge and some in the freezer. Six minutes at low pressure, with a 15 minute natural release cooked them perfectly. Much improved over my stove top efforts that put me off cooking beans for a long while. Thank you so much!

    Are you sure the beans will be nicely tender by just giving 6 minutes on low pressure. I usually make it every week and it takes 15 minutes for my chickpeas on high pressure to be satisfactorily tender. I like them buttery tender though (still retaining their shape).

All the pre-cook instructions are the same but the chart says to cook the chick peas for 1 minute and then do a natural release. The cook directions in the copy are totally incorrect. Says to turn off the instant pot when done and quick release (except for French green beans). Based on these inconsistent directions, I thought I'd turn to RUclips. I'll be trying Eric's time. Seems a lot more realistic! Looks like they need to make corrections in the next edition of the book. If you own it, don't follow the bean chart directions for any of the beans.

    Nice presentation, but every cooking show I’ve seen says not to use salt when cooking beans. Lidia, Martha et al. They say to add salt after cooking, not before, or the beans will be tough. So now I’m confused!

    • @cookinmonster
      @cookinmonster 4 года назад +4

      Salt makes the beans take longer to cook by regulating how quickly the water can enter the beans. That's why recipes traditionally say not to salt the water - it could turn a two hour cook time on the stove into a four hour cook time. However, giving the water more time to permeate the beans also keeps them intact (not mushy or busted open). It also seasons the beans throughout. But since he's using a pressure cooker, it reduces the cook time so drastically that the time difference between salted and unsalted doesn't really matter. If you want your beans cooked very quickly, and don't need them intact (if you are making hummus, for example), you could just use water and not a salt brine.

    • @joeymama4666
      @joeymama4666 4 года назад +4

      For years ATK said the same thing, but then they did some experiments and found that adding salt at the beginning didn't affect the softness or cooking time, so they starting doing that. They say lately that they've found that brining the dried beans is the best method. It's talked about here:

      It was really almost 30 minutes. Time to build pressure, 6 minutes at pressure, time to naturally release. The timer on the instant pot can be misleading.

    Why does adding salt to lentils before they are done cooking cause them to become harder than they otherwise would be, but brining chickpeas is good?

    • @joeymama4666
      @joeymama4666 4 года назад +2

      Here's what they say about lentils.
      "All the lentils were better when we used the cooking instructions in our recipes. Though the soup recipe also called for simmering the lentils on the stovetop, the lentils’ textural flaws weren’t as readily apparent when mixed with the escarole and tomatoes. The texture of the lentils improved in the salad tasting because the recipe calls for two test kitchen tricks: soaking the uncooked lentils in a saltwater solution to tenderize their skins and prevent blow-outs as they cook and cooking the lentils in the gentle heat of the oven instead of simmering them on the stovetop. Even so, not all the lentils were perfect. The sprouted lentils still tended to split apart. The seed coating also slipped off some of the other lentils, similar to the way skins slide off chickpeas, creating a mix of textures that distracted our tasters from the lentils themselves. Our favorite lentils were perfectly intact and firm without being crunchy and had tender, creamy interiors.
      Lentils are weeknight dinner champs. They’re pulses (edible seeds), just like black beans, pinto beans, and chickpeas, but their tiny size means they can cook in as little as 15 to 20 minutes and there’s no need for an overnight soak. That said, for salads and side dishes, we like to brine green and black lentils in warm salted water for an hour before cooking to season them thoroughly and to soften their skins, which leads to fewer blowouts (brining is not necessary for lentil soups."

    What's the point of using a pressure cooker if you still have to soak overnight? My recipe
    2c dry chickpeas
    5c water
    1tbsp salt
    Pressure cook 24 mins, release pressure at +20mins natural release
    So much easier than this convoluted method

      Some have more flavor than others but they're mostly pretty bland. Same for chickpeas. Hummus is good because of the stuff you add to the chickpeas more than for the chickpeas themselves.

    Everything is wrong on this video.
    1. He said low pressure, kept it on high
    2. He said natural release for 15 minutes, there was no countdown timer shown, still said off.
    I wouldn't let him boil water for me if he can't get really basic items correct

    • @JasonBennett1
      @JasonBennett1 4 года назад +4

      Watch it again. The buttons are slightly different than mine, but when you watch it full screen, you'll see he resets the pressure to low. As far as countdown timer, I'm assuming you're talking about the warm function, where you can see how long it's been since the pressure cook ended. But you don't have to do it that way, you can set a kitchen timer and not keep the warmer function on.
      I question the time to cook at low pressure, but I'm noticing at least one confirmation that six minutes does work for pre-soaked beans, so I'm willing to try it.
