how long will it take to cook pinto beans in a 7 quart pressure cooker?

Question by flowergal: how long will it take to cook pinto beans in a 7 quart pressure cooker?
I have never used a pressure cooker before I've always heard how temper mental they can be. I decided to try one & so I bought a 7 quart electric pressure cooker. I would like to try pinto beans with ham hocks & could use some help with it. How long will it take to cook & should I put the ham hocks in right away?


Best answer:

Answer by Emu
A pressure cooker cooks in about 1/3 of the time as regular stove top cooking. I have a pressure pan and I have cooked beans in it and I let them cook for 1 hour and they are done. I would go ahead and add the ham hocks to the beans at the beginning of the cook time.
