Introduction

Thank you for purchasing the EZ Bean Cooker! Manufactured with state of the art

technology, this cooker uses pressurized cooking to turn dry beans into a tasty meal

or side dish in minutes instead of hours – no presoaking required! With our easy,

preset buttons just add ingredients, select the bean type you want to cook, press Start,

and walk away. A buzzer will sound once your beans are ready to enjoy.

Reasons to Eat EZ Cooked Beans

We wanted to develop a quick method of cooking beans – heating the beans and

not your kitchen! With the EZ Bean Cooker there is no reason to spend hours

soaking the “ole bean”!

For your health: beans are high in protein and ber and have low sodium. In

addition, diets rich in beans can help with weight control.

Beans are packed with nutrients and are a low cost and tasty ingredient that can

be added to any meal.

A Little About Beans

Dry beans have a long shelf life, making them a desirable food to keep on hand in your

pantry. Over time, the moisture content of the beans will decrease. Although beans

with lower moisture content are still good beans, they take a little longer to cook

than beans with higher moisture content. Dry beans have their highest moisture

content when they are rst packaged.

Bean pods grow out of owers on bean plants. Dry beans are those that have been

left in their pods to dry in the eld. These beans are typically harvested in the early Fall

during the time they have their highest moisture content - ranging from 15-16%

moisture. By December, the moisture will drop to about 14-15%. In March, moisture

content will be around 13-14% and by June the moisture content will be fairly low at

11-12%. Lower moisture content does not affect the quality of the beans; however,

these beans may need longer cook times.

A Quick Look at Your Cooker

Preset buttons are based on bean variety; simply follow the included recipes, select

the bean variety, and push Start.

High Pressure (all buttons except Low Pressure) = 10 PSI

Low Pressure = 6 PSI

If you choose to add salt to your beans, always add it after the beans are cooked.

If salt is added before the beans are cooked, their skins will toughen and they will

take longer to cook.

Before First Use

1. Remove all packaging materials from your EZ Bean Cooker. Take the inner

cooking pot out and remove and discard any protective paper or materials.

Remove any promotional labels from the cooker. DO NOT REMOVE ANY

SAFETY STICKER WARNINGS FROM LID.

2. Make sure that you have retained all parts of the appliance before discarding the

packaging materials.

3. During manufacturing and shipping, dust may have settled on your cooker. Simply

wipe the exterior of the cooker with a damp cloth to remove any dust.

4. Next, completely clean the inner cooking pot with warm, soapy water and dry

thoroughly. Clean the inner lid in the same way.

5. Make sure that the surface you place the cooker on is clean, dry, and at.

6. Check that the pressure release valve is rmly in place and that it is turned to

Closed Vent.

Operating Your EZ Bean Cooker

1. Make sure that the cooker is clean and assembled correctly.

2. Check gasket for appropriate t and condition.

3. To open the lid, hold the handle, turn counterclockwise , and then lift.

4. Remove the inner cooking pot from the cooker to add food and liquid.

DO NOT FILL OVER THE MAX FILL LINE MARKED ON THE INNER POT

Beans and rice will expand during cooking – overlling the inner pot

may clog the pressure release valve and could damage your cooker.

Use the appropriate amount of liquid as suggested by the recipes

included in this manual. For bean recipe instructions, please follow the

charts on pages 13-14.

5. To lock the lid, make sure that the rim of the cooker is clear of any food or debris;

place the lid on the cooker and turn clockwise . Make sure the pressure

release valve is closed.

6. Plug the power cord into a reliable wall outlet.

7. Once all ingredients have been added to the cooker and the lid has been locked in

place, press the button that designates the bean type to be cooked, or use the chart

on pages 13-14 for additional cook times to use with the Manual Cook function.

8. If desired, add or subtract time to the cook cycle by pressing the – or + Adjust

Time buttons.

9. Press the Start button.

10. Display will light up to show that the cooker is in the Heating Up cycle – the

cook time on the digital display will not start counting down until the cooker has

switched to the Pressure Cooking cycle. The Heating Up cycle will take around 20

minutes before the appropriate pressure has been reached.

a. Once in the Pressure Cooking cycle, the numbers on the digital display

will begin decreasing.

b. At the end of the Pressure Cooking cycle a buzzer will sound to

notify you that the beans are done. The cooker will automatically turn

heat off. Push the Stop button once to turn off buzzer.

c. Using extreme caution (you may wear an oven mitt or use tongs or a

similar utensil), turn the pressure release valve to Open Vent– this will

allow the pressure to escape quickly. Keep face and all

other body parts away from the steam that escapes the

pressure release valve. Please note: if excessive liquid

sputters out of the pressure release valve, turn to the

Closed Vent position and let sit for about ve minutes so

that some of the pressure releases naturally. Then, turn the

release valve to Open Vent to release the remaining

pressure. If sputtering continues, close the release valve and

wait a few additional minutes.

d. It should take up to three minutes for the pressure to be completely

released. You will not be able to open the cooker lid until

the pressure has been released completely.

e. Once all of the steam has been released, hold the handle on the lid and

turn it counterclockwise . Use caution, as the contents are very

hot and additional steam may rise from the food.

f. You may push the Keep Warm button if you would like your cooker

to remain on a low heat setting for up to 1½ hours.

g. At the end of the Keep Warm cycle the cooker will automatically

turn off; if you would like to turn the Keep Warm cycle on for an

additional 1½ hours, simply push the Keep Warm button.

Low Pressure Setting

All preset buttons automatically cook at High Pressure (10 PSI); if you want to cook at

Low Pressure (6 PSI), use the Low Pressure button, then use the Adjust Time

buttons to enter the desired cook time.

Reset or Cancel

If you need to reset the time, cancel, or stop a cook cycle, simply push the Stop button.

Keep Warm Setting

Your cooker heating element will automatically turn off at the end of the cooking cycles.

If you want to keep your food warm in the cooker, push the Keep Warm button. The

cooker will stay in this mode for up to 1½ hours, then will automatically turn off

completely.

Basic Recipes

Use the following directions to prepare all of the beans that you cook in the

EZ Bean Cooker:

Dry beans are a raw agricultural product; they must be cleaned and sorted to ensure

that any debris is removed prior to cooking.

1. Spread dry beans onto a at surface (such as a baking sheet) – remove any small

stones, pieces of dirt, shriveled/discolored beans, or other foreign materials and

discard.

2. Once the beans have been sorted, rinse the beans in cold water until the water

runs clear; you may choose to do this in a strainer or colander.

3. Next, place the rinsed beans in the inner cooking pot of the EZ Bean Cooker.

4. Use the measurements below when adding ingredients to the inner cooking pot:

Amount of Beans Amount of Water Amount of Vegetable Oil

1 pound (or 2 ¼ cups) 8 cups 4 teaspoons

1 cup 4 cups 2 teaspoons

Vegetable oil will keep the beans from frothing. Froth can clog the

pressure release valve – DO NOT OMIT OIL. You may substitute vegetable

oil with another cooking oil of your choice, such as olive oil.

5. After all ingredients have been added, close and lock the lid.

6. Select the bean variety by pushing the appropriate button on the cooker. The

preset buttons are designed to cook your beans perfectly every time! However, at

this point, you can adjust the cook time if you desire your beans a particular way –

simply use the Adjust Time buttons to add or subtract one minute at a time, then

push Start.

7. At the end of the Pressure Cooking cycle, a buzzer will sound to notify you that

the heating and cooking cycles are complete. Push the Stop button to turn off the

buzzer.

8. Using extreme caution, turn the pressure release valve to Open Vent to manually

release the pressure.

Keep face and all other body parts away from the steam that escapes the

pressure release valve. Please note: if excessive liquid sputters out of the

pressure release valve, turn to the Closed Vent position and let sit for about

ve minutes so that some of the pressure releases naturally. Then, turn the

release valve to Open Vent to release the remaining pressure. If sputtering

continues, close the release valve and wait a few additional minutes.

Additional recipes are provided on pages 13-23.

Adding Additional Time to Recipes

The preset buttons on the EZ Bean Cooker are designed to cook your beans perfectly

every time. However, dry beans are a raw agricultural product and their moisture

content may vary depending upon the region the beans came from, the time of year, and

the age of the bean. In addition, people have different preferences when it comes to the

texture of their cooked beans. Because of these reasons, you can easily adjust the cook

time to meet the consistency you desire. Simply select the bean variety you want to

cook. Next, use the Adjust Time buttons to increase or decrease the cook time, then

push Start.

Once the beans have completed their cooking cycles and you have released the pressure

you may nd that you want a softer consistency. Simply replace and lock the lid on the

cooker, close the pressure release valve, and add additional time. To add additional time:

push the Manual Cook button, then use the Adjust Time buttons to add the desired

amount of time you want to cook the beans. Please keep in mind that the cooker will

need to heat up to pressure again - so if you add ve minutes, the beans will cook for

ve minutes in addition to the amount of time it takes to reach pressure (for example:

8 minutes to reach pressure + 5 minutes pressure cooking = 13 additional minutes).

Because the food and cooking liquid are already hot, the cooker will reach the desired

pressure much more quickly than during the original Heating Up cycle.

Freezing & Storing Cooked Beans

Most of the recipes in this manual require one pound of dry beans, which makes a lot of

cooked beans! Fortunately, beans are very versatile and can be stored and frozen easily.

We recommend making a full one pound batch of beans to use in various recipes or to

freeze and save for quick additions to other meals. Simply put portions of the beans in

a freezable and sealable container or a plastic food storage bag, add some of the cooking

liquid and freeze. In an airtight container, the beans can stay frozen for up to six months

and should not change in texture or avor. You may also use the same storage methods

and refrigerate cooked beans for up to ve days.

Safety Features

The EZ Bean Cooker has been designed with multiple safety features:

1. Locking Lid: the cooker will not start to pressurize until the lid is closed and

locked in place. In order to prevent injury, once the cooker has reached pressure,

the lid will remain locked until the pressure is released completely.

2. Pressure Control: the cooker is designed to maintain appropriate pressure; if

this is somehow disabled, additional safety features listed below provide safety to

the user.

3. Pressure Protection Switch: if pressure rises above the highest preset value

(10 PSI), the cooker will automatically turn off.

4. Pressure Limit Valve: if pressure rises above preset value, cooker will begin to

release pressure. DO NOT OVERFILL – overlling may disrupt this safety

feature.

5. Gasket: if pressure rises above the preset value, gasket will warp and allow

pressure to be released.

6. Thermostat Control: once cooker rises above designated temperature, cooker

will automatically turn off.

7. Anti-Block Shield: prevents any debris or food from blocking the pressure

release valve.

Cleaning & Care

Routine cleaning is essential to keep your EZ Bean Cooker in its best condition. After

each use, the cooker should be cleaned and stored as directed:

1. Always turn off the cooker and unplug the power cord from the wall outlet before

cleaning. Make sure the cooker is cool to the touch so that you do not

burn yourself.

2. Next, clean the outer portion of the cooker with a damp, soft cloth or paper towel.

Use a clean, dry cloth or paper towel to dry the outer body of the cooker.

NEVER immerse the outer body in water or pour water into the inner

portion of the cooker.

3. Using warm water, clean the underside of the lid, including the gasket, pressure

release valve, and air escape/oat valve. Remove the gasket and clean thoroughly

with warm, soapy water; then rinse. Dry all parts of the lid completely before

replacing the gasket. Never place the lid in the dishwasher.

4. Use caution to remove the inner cooking pot as it may be hot to the touch. Use

oven mitts or pot holders to carefully remove the cooking pot. If any food or liquid

remains in the cooking pot, exercise caution to prevent spilling or splashing hot

food or liquid on yourself or others.

5. Wipe the inner edge of the cooker (where the lid sits when in place) with a damp

cloth to remove any food or liquid that may have spilled.

6. The inner cooking pot may be placed in your dishwasher for cleaning. To clean the

inner cooking pot by hand, use a soft cloth or sponge with soapy water. To prevent

damage to the coating on the cooking pot, do not use harsh chemicals or

scouring pads. Dry with a clean cloth or allow to air dry.

7. Store your EZ Bean Cooker in a safe place. Do not secure the lid on the cooker –

if you close the lid and lock it in place, the gasket will experience increased wear

and will wear out prematurely. Use caution when moving the cooker when the lid

is not securely in place.

8. The gasket will have natural wear and tear and may need to be replaced as often as

once a year depending on frequency of use. To order replacement gaskets, please

turn to page 12.

If any part of the cooker is warm, use extreme caution when handling the appliance or

wait until it has cooled completely before attempting any of the suggested solutions.
