Guest guest Posted January 15, 2003 Report Share Posted January 15, 2003 If you're going to pressure cook beans, be sure to add a small amount of oil to reduce the foaming that could block the vent. At this point, with the acrylamide issue not fully resolved, I'm not pressure cooking my beans. Acrylamide formation seems to be increased at high temperature - which is what you get inside a pressure cooker, and why it cooks faster than unpressurized methods. Until I know more about this, my slow cooker is getting a lot of use (just bought a new, larger one). Iris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
