* = When cooking pulses they swell up and tend to froth up so do not fill more than one-third full. Use 2 pints
(1.2 litres) water for every 450 g (1 lb) pre-soaked weight of pulses. Remember all dried peas and dried beans, must
be soaked in boiling water for 1 hour before cooking. Drain, rinse thoroughly and cook in fresh water. Never eat
uncooked beans or peas. Soaking is not necessary for red lentils. The high temperatures achieved in the pressure
cooker ensure that any natural toxins in the pulses are destroyed. Canned beans and pulses can simply be drained
and rinsed before use in recipes.
** = When cooking rice, cereal or pasta, do not fill more than half full as it expands during cooking.
