Use this handy chart as a guide for cooking times. These times are for soaked beans. 15 Lima Beans 25 Navy Beans 30 Pink Beans 30 Pinto Beans 25 Soybeans 35 Soybeans, and garbanzo beans will foam and clog the vent. Boil them with the lid off, stirring and skimming off the foam, until they stop foaming. Place the lid on and pressure cook the soybeans for 30 minutes and the garbanzo beans for 15 minutes.
Beans continue to cook and tenderize as the pressure reduces slowly.
Quick cool the pressure cooker by running it under cool water if you must have the beans immediately. We recommend you the beans before cooking them to reduce cooking time. If you plan to give the beans a long simmer, you can toss them in a pot, following the Stovetop recipe, and let them cook for a longer time. Use the following times as a guide. When the beans easily mash with a fork, they are done.
