I admit I need to go back and experiment with my pressure cooker and
beans. I do not get that gummy texture from canned beans and they
are, after all, jes pressure cooked beans. OTOH, they are usually
canned from fresh beans, not dried. I do know I don't like
pre-soaking beans, as then the pulp cooks faster than the skin and
tough skinned beans are the result. Kidney and lima beans are
specially prone to this tough skin phenomena.
