BEANS/CHILI
When cooking beans, make sure you pick over the beans, rinse and drain them� Dry beans can be soaked overnight
to speed up the cooking process� Because beans expand when cooking, NEVER fill the inner pot more than
halfway up to allow room for expansion� Add in about 1 tablespoon of oil to prevent them from foaming up and
clogging the pressure valve� It is best to use the natural release� If the beans aren’t cooked when the cooking
program is finished, you can either turn the Sear function on without the lid and finish cooking them or cook
them under pressure for another 3
~ 5 minutes�
