I use a 6 qt. Mirro pressure cooker

For me 25 minutes gives a very soft bean and should be eaten or added to other ingredients without further cooking. If you want beans a bit al dente you may need to lesson the cooking time.

I cooked some a couple days ago and put them in a great White Chili recipe from CHOPTAG President JerryL which he served at a function sometime back.

earl you did not state that you soaked the beans for X hours so i'm wondering if you pc them without soaking them? i suspect that the answer is no because that's a LOT of water to use for 2 cups of beans! i've used a pc since 1985 for cooking brown rice and different beans. i always soak beans for at least 6 hours before pc them and i use an equal amount of water as there are beans after they soaked.
