less water and to check at 30-minute intervals. Lastly, it is a
myth that salt will make your beans and lentils tough. Salt
them at the beginning of cooking to ensure they obtain a
full, rich flavor.
Note: Remember to allow time for pre-soaking the beans
for up to 12 hours and lentils for up to 4 hours.
• Place the drained, pre-soaked beans or lentil into
clay pot and cover with fresh water as noted above.
Ensure beans are covered by about 1” of water.
• Add 1 to 2 Tablespoons oil (to prevent boiling over)
and seasonings as desired.
• Press the Slow Cooking key to select the stew or
soup mode on the control panel and use the Timer
keys to set desired time.
• Check every 30 minutes as cooking time will vary
depending on the bean variety. Some beans will take
just an hour and some 2 hours. Lentils can take
under an hour or more if you like them very soft.
• Test to ensure they are soft and thoroughly cooked.
