Cooking pinto beans on the stove takes about four hours, and you have to soak them overnight. If you use the pressure cooker method, then the beans only take one hour. Cooking them in a pressure cooker doesn't require soaking and this will save you time. There are a variety of great recipes that you can make with pinto beans. Make them ahead of time and put them in the refrigerator to heat up later.
Pinto beans are good to eat with cornbread or tortillas. They are a low-fat food choice if you are watching your diet. Pinto beans are also high in fiber and protein. This makes beans a healthy food choice for any meal. They also cost much less than other protein choices such as chicken or fish. Include beans in your meals at least twice a week for variety and cost-savings.

To start cooking your beans, add one pound of beans to a food strainer. Hold the strainer over running water and check for small rocks and debris. Rinse the beans and add them to a six quart pressure cooker. You can add bacon drippings or ham bones to add flavor, but don't add salt until the beans are done. Salt will make the beans lose their jackets while cooking. Read the manufacture's directions for cooking beans, and add the recommended amount of water. Your beans will be tender in about one hour.
Many people avoid eating pinto beans because of the long cooking time. If you use the pressure cooker method, you can include beans to your diet more often. Experiment with different recipes and discover the many ways to add beans to your meals.

How do you cook a top round roast in a pressure cooker?
Cooking in a pressure cooker cuts your cooking time down to about a third. In other words, if you would normally cook a roast for 3 hours it's only going to take 1 but keep in mind that were talking really high temperatures here. The pressure at which you cook the meat at will also cause the time to vary, as will as the fact that top round roasts have very little fat content, quite the opposite of a chuck roast. I usually cook a 3 lb top round roast for about an hour. The process is basically the same as what you would normally cook a top round roast at except for a few added steps. Heat up your pressure cooker and add about 2 to 3 tablespoons oil. Cut your roast into four equal parts, salt and pepper each piece and then brown on all sides. Remove meat from cooker and add about 1 cup beef broth along with 3/4 cup Italian salad dressing. If your presser cooker has a lift pan to keep the meat off of the bottom of the pan while cooking, insert it at this time and cover. Cook for about 1 hour. If you would like to include potatoes and carrots with this meal, have your potatoes and carrots cut, seasoned and ready to go once the roast is done cooking. When the roast is done cooking, take the entire cooker (lid still on!) over to the sink and run cold water over it. This will very quickly bring the internal pressure down to normal allowing you to open the cooker and add your vegetables (unless your roast is completely falling apart, leave the roast in the cooker and add vegetables on top, other wise remove the meat and keep covered and warm). Return cooker to the stove top, replace lid and bring the pressure back up. Once the pressure is where you want it cook for an additional 20 minutes.
How to cook slow cook meals on stove?
If you can slow cook in the oven it would be better, because less moisture will escape. The direct flame underneath your pot on the stove will simmer the food and eventually all the moisture will escape. Adding more water to avoid burning will not enhance the flavour. If you have to cook on the stove then adding more water is unavoidable.
Can you use pressure cooker to cook dry foods?
