Of course, the black beans sound delicious, too. I'm surprised it takes 45 minutes to cook them in a pressure cooker. Is that because you're cooking an entire package? How large is the package you speak of? A one pound bag?

In the owner's manual for Presto pressure cookers, it says that soaking beans overnight is not necessary when using a pressure cooker. So, I never soak them overnight, nor do I use the quick-soak method when I cook beans in a pressure cooker.

Oh sure, there's the flatulence issue. But let's keep it real, my family is musical no matter what they eat. No amount of soaking can stop them. ;D
