I did the quick-soak (cover with water, boil 2 minutes, let stand, drain) and then cooked them on the stove. I drained off most of the excess water and packed them in freezer bags in "can-sized" amounts with a smidge of the "bean juice" from the pot. They thaw beautifully in the microwave! This has made my diet so much easier to stick to, having nutritious, non-chemical foods handy in my freezer! My fiance even ate beans the other day! I did a big batch of pintos a few weeks ago!

Im 28 and had horror stories of them popping their lids back in the day, but the news wont do that. After a great score with a gifted brand new pressure cooker that my MIL was scared to use and alittle internet research, this thing is my new fave kitchen appliance. The short cooking time is only an added benefit to the FLAVOR this thing can turn out in anything you make. Beans and Pot roast are my faves so far for it! Have you ever tried a pressure cooker?
