I am going to be making freezer burritos tomorrow as I talked about in another thread, and I've decided to make my own refried beans for them. I want to use my pressure cooker. It is a large one, also used for pressure canning. Does anyone have experience pressure cooking beans? I've looked online for tips, because my manual says to not cook beans or grains in the pressure cooker. I'm sure this is a blanket statement for liability sake. Beans tend to foam alot when cooking, and their concern is that the foam, or loose skins from the beans may clog the steam vent, causing pressure problems.
As I said, I've seen directions online for it, but I would like to hear some personal experiences if anyone has them before I do this. My plan is to only fill the pressure cooker 1/2 full and add oil to prevent foaming. Can anyone help me?
