Beans and lentils are a natural for pressure
cooking. Savory black bean, kidney beans and garbanzo beans would take
almost 3 hours to prepare using conventional methods or could take as little as 20 minutes
in a pressure cooker. Lentils would take about 15 to 35 minutes with conventional methods
and 10 minutes in a pressure cooking. Now that's Good Food, fast!
Because little or no steam escapes during cooking, fewer vitamins and minerals are lost in
the cooking liquid or dissipated into the air. Also because of the pressure the food comes
out tasting and looking as if it was cooked on low for a long time allowing the flavors to
mingle.
The result is healthier and tastier meals.
It is also faster cooking beans and lentils in a pressure cooker than a microwave. |
