    I swear, after watching this, I went to the kitchen, grabbed the half bag of pintos I had, washed them and threw them in the crock pot and used your seasoning (minus bacon). You know, if you foil the lid until it seals the lid and crock, you can get up to 300 degrees, I did. Anyway, you inspired me and in about 4 hours, I'll have a nice dinner. P.s. That Cosori looks great!

    I cook my pintos for a little over an hour, not "hours and hours and hours" as you state and the beans I cook are as soft as I get in any restaurant. I don't need a pressure cooker to do it. but I will try this method to see how the next batch turns out.

    I just got my cooker. I was confused about how to braise the onions and garlics before. Thank you. Your video helped a lot. I'll use it for the first time today. I'll follow your recipe. 😁

    Your legumes cook more tender and faster if you DON'T add salt before cooking. Salting causes the beans to remain firm for a longer time. 25-30 minutes can make 2 pounds of perfect beans if cooked with just the aromatics 😋

    “Don’t want to much liquid” girl I don’t know where your from? LMAO use low sodium chicken broth then ADD salt OMG……add 1 more pound of beans and you do want liquid UNLESS you’re making re-fried beans……pretty good attempt but anytime you are using a pressure cooker use a bit more CAUTION! It not a laughing or funny matter…..is your pressure cooker UL certified

    I have found that if you do 30 minutes with a natural release, dry beans tend to be done just right. Thanks for the video. Been considering a smaller pot since it's just me anymore. Cosori looks like a good alternative to Instant Pot.

    I just bought one of them mini Cosori cookers. Thank you for demonstrating the pressure cooking of pinto beans (I'm not a good soaker either).

    A cooking mentor of mine suggested adding lemon juice to make beans more digestible and easier to cook.

    Perhaps you'd like to try if you haven't already? I have tested it before, and it works.

    Even soaking beans quickly beforehand (say for 15 minutes) makes a difference.

    Thanks for the close-up of the menu panel. Looks very easy to use.

    Can't wait to get my hands on it! So excited :).

    I HAVE NEVER PRESOAKED MY BEANS. I CLEAN THEM. THROW THEM IN THE POT AND BOIL ON HIGH FOR 30 MINUTES. TURN IT OFF WITH A LID ON THEM AND LET THEM STAND FOR AN HOUR. THEN I THROW IN MY BACON, ONION AND SOMETIMES SAUSAGE. BRING IT BACK TO BOIL AND CHECK OFTEN FOR ADDING WATER. YOU HAVE TO MAKE SURE YOU WATCH THEM BECAUSE THEY WILL COOK QUICKLY. THOSE BEANS LOOKED DELICIOUS. I MAKE PINTO BEAN SOUP. DELICIOUS.

    Hi Amy & Eric, great videos and recipes. I'm wanting to invest in a pressure cooker, which brand would you recommend cosori or instant pot? Really confused which one to go for!

    I could not find this pinto bean recipe on your website. Please add a search tab on your website. If i didn’t enjoy your videos so much, i would not have gone through each section looking for it. Love your videos.

    We should not release the pressure and let it rest so that the pressure gets to normal by itself. By doing that you are giving extra time for it to cook hence avoiding to rebuilt the pressure.
