Thanks for the pepper tip. They have great flavor but WOW do they carry a kick and a punch. When I was reading your version, I wasn't thinking that you were adding to my basic recipe, but that all makes sense now. Thanks Bill! I'll let you know how this turns out when my friends get a taste of your bean recipe. Hi Bill!

THANK YOU, BILL !!! I've got to give this one a test run and I know just the folks who would love to come over and try this recipe with me. How much water do you pour in? Surely the 1 cup of dark ale is not enough. I LOVE IT! THANK YOU, BILL !!!

The manual is very handy for understanding how to care for the seals and gaskets. Also, there are recipes and charts you will really use for cooking fresh vegetables and other beans. I actually keep my Presto manual right with my other cookbooks, because I need the charts for proper cooking times.

I've used it several times now. Our budget has tightened a bit and my wife & I debated whether we should eat more beans. The only problem was the long preparation time. Then I found a 6 qt Presto pressure cooker in a thrift shop for $8.50. That settled the debate. Our 10 year old kids actually like this recipe. Thanks for posting this.

I restrict a lot of my (unplanned) cooking to the pulses that need no soaking. I have had a Prestige hi dome pressure cooker for more than 30 years now and even though the manufacturer went bust (we think because the cookers were too good they last too long!) the spare seals and safety valves are still available. As a disabled parent on a very low fixed income I learnt a long time ago how to make good use of my pressure cooker, freezer and microwave I don't know how people survive without them! My son, 19, who is very keen on the "outdoor life" even has his Gran's old Prestige pressure cooker(over 35 years old, the cooker not his Gran) to take camping with him! His camp fire can be smelt from miles around as he conjour's up a feast in one pot all at high speed and pressure! As to soaking, I learnt NOT to soak lentils as the will end up all mushy, but hey who am I to comment? It's well known that the english can't cook, that's why Gordon Ramsay spends so much time in the USA! LOL Hi Jill,
