To pressure cook: my average time for cooking dried beans in a pressure cooker is 20 minutes. Some smaller beans such as black eyed peas take less time, but the average bean in my kitchen gets 20 minutes in the pressure cooker.
When cooking beans, always keep them at a simmer. Boiling can cause the cooking liquid to evaporate too quickly, as well as cause the beans to break apart and the skins to separate. Cooking times and yields. Cooking times will very with quality, amount and freshness of the beans; it can take from 1-2 hours. I say beans are done when they can be easily mashed between two fingers or with a fork. As a general rule, 1 cup dried beans will yield 3 cups cooked. I tend to cook in bigger batches, say 3 cups of dried beans, and freeze the extras in 2-cup portions.
