** We prepare our beans (and grains and everything else that needs cooking) using an "Instant Pot" (electric pressure cooker), which drastically reduces preparation time for any type of food, including beans, grains, meat or vegetables. They are incredibly convienent and quick to use. Simply add in the chosen ingredients and set the electronic timer, the Instant Pot does the rest and will automatically depressurize, keeping the food warm for hours. For us, this wonderful device is used near-daily for our breakfast, lunch and dinner foods we eat. These modern pressure cookers will also dramatically tenderize and flavor the food (with seasoning) and can significantly increase the different type and variety of meals anyone can prepare at home.
