Basic Recipes
Use the following directions to prepare all of the beans that you cook in the
EZ Bean Cooker:
Dry beans are a raw agricultural product; they must be cleaned and sorted to ensure
that any debris is removed prior to cooking .
1 . Spread dry beans onto a flat surface (such as a baking sheet) – remove any small
stones, pieces of dirt, shriveled/discolored beans, or other foreign materials and
discard .
2 . Once the beans have been sorted, rinse the beans in cold water until the water
runs clear; you may choose to do this in a strainer or colander .
3 . Next, place the rinsed beans in the inner cooking pot of the EZ Bean Cooker .
4 . Use the measurements below when adding ingredients to the inner cooking pot:
Amount of Beans Amount of Water Amount of Vegetable Oil
1 pound (or 2 ¼ cups) 8 cups 4 teaspoons
1 cup 4 cups 2 teaspoons
Vegetable oil will keep the beans from frothing. Froth can clog the
pressure release valve – DO NOT OMIT OIL. You may substitute vegetable
oil with another cooking oil of your choice, such as olive oil.
5 . After all ingredients have been added, close and lock the lid .
6 . Select the bean variety by pushing the appropriate button on the cooker . The
preset buttons are designed to cook your beans perfectly every time! However, at
this point, you can adjust the cook time if you desire your beans a particular way –
simply use the Adjust Time buttons to add or subtract one minute at a time, then
push Start .
7 . At the end of the Pressure Cooking cycle, a buzzer will sound to notify you that
the heating and cooking cycles are complete . Push the Stop button to turn off the
buzzer .
8 . Using extreme caution, turn the pressure release valve to Open Vent to manually
release the pressure .
Keep face and all other body parts away from the steam that escapes the
pressure release valve. Please note: if excessive liquid sputters out of the
pressure release valve, turn to the Closed Vent position and let sit for about
five minutes so that some of the pressure releases naturally. Then, turn the
release valve to Open Vent to release the remaining pressure. If sputtering
continues, close the release valve and wait a few additional minutes.
