increases by approximately one-third if un-soaked. Salt legumes only after
cooking to avoid increasing the cooking time.
Quick soak method- In pressure cooker, cover legumes with 2 inches of water,
cover, and bring to cooking level 2. Cook for 3 minutes. Let sit until knob goes
down all the way to cover. Open the cover, discard the water, and rinse the
legumes. Cook legumes according to recipe.
