Cooking Dried Beans.

Beans are a large portion of my diet. A supply of beans is purchased from as bulk food store and all pressure cooked together.They are a low cost source of nutritional food. The beans are washed, boiled vigorously for ten minutes, rinsed, pressure cooked at 15 PSI for 90 minutes to insure they are well cooked.It is doubly important that beans be cooked, if in doubt cook longer than 90 minutes. It is almost impossible to over cook beans. Under cooked beans cause gastric problems. The beans are then mixed with the condiment of choice with sufficient water to cover, and boiled gently for a few minutes to mix. I only use molasses for a condiment.The finished product is stored in containers and the excess frozen. One container is kept in the refrigerator for current use.For long term storage at room temperature, they could be pressure canned, but I have no requirement for this procedure.
