Pressure cooker Beans and bacon
Local butcher had a good deal on double smoked bacon ends. I saoked up
a pot of assorted dry beans and put them and some bacon ends, brown sugar and dry mustard into the pressure cooker. These usually come out very yummy but not at all like the "Soup Beans" over corn bread I had while visiting Kentucky. Anyone have a recipe for traditional "Soup beans? |

I've somehow missed Kentucky in my travels, but was there something different about the "soup beans" other than the amount of liquid? I mean, least liquid = beans, more liquid = soup beans, even more liquid = bean soup? -aem |

Well I googled in between football games, and found several interesting entries. Apparently Kenuckians call a pot of pinto beans "soup beans," and feature them frequently at church potlucks and other community events, seemingly always serving them with cornbread. Most of the cooking entries I found are just like everybody else's pinto beans -- pintos, onion, maybe garlic, salt pork or bacon or ham hock. One guy's approach claimed to be different -- he cooks them uncovered at a rolling boil rather than a simmer for a lot longer than the normal 90-120 minutes, adding water as needed. Says it makes them darker and tastier. -aem |

I usually simmer till done or put a pot in a slow oven. I think 20 minutes would be good for a first effort. Thanks for saving me from a disaster. |

Another said 20. I can't stand any food cooked into mush. I don't like exploded beans. I like to chew my food. Maybe I should disregard this thread. |

I like to chew my food. >> Maybe I should disregard this thread. > >Search > >http://missvickie.com/howto/beans/howtobeantypes.html Quite a range on those cooking times, but most of them sound reasonable if you use the middle-ground time. I typically cook great northerns, for example, for 6 minutes and use the quick-release method. Beans are always cooked perfectly, no mush, no popped skins all over the place. For larger beans like garbanzos, I'll use the shorter cooking time, but let the pressure cooker release pressure gradually. TammyM |

Or maybe you should disregard the pressure cooker, which doesn't allow you to check things as they cook. -aem |

I make a good pot of baked beans that still have just a tad give to them and he says they are under cooked. I need to cook them to canned or he wont eat them. *sigh* Tori |
