Well I was born and raised in Athens, GA...decided I didn't want to be a bulldog and went up to Clemson, graduated last May, and now I'm in Brazil for graduate school (I came down here in part to be with my girlfriend and to get a masters in tropical botany...she, by the way, doesn't cook)...

Well, all in all they came out pretty well. Flavoring the next pot will be my priority. Mmm, thinking about them flavored with bacon or smoked ham hock almost makes me hungry again :) I say Brazilian beans, but here they are called "feijão carioca," they're not black beans (feijão preto)...

Wow thanks for the fast replies After 40 minutes, I turned off the flame, opened it up, and saw that the beans were starting to get about as soft as they should be, but there seemed to be extra water (not the nice, super-thick juice), so I emptied some water, added some sauteed some onions...

Hi everyone, I'm an expatriate grad student living in Brazil and taking my first stab at cooking some famous Brazilian beans in a pressure cooker. I'm about 30 minutes into it (gonna let it cook for about 40 min), and just wanted to know if it's normal for steam to be hissing out from the top...
