Pressure cooking food and beans

Put water and dried beans in pressure cooker. Water lever 2-3inches above beans.
Put on the pressure cooking lid but don't lock. Get the water boiling. Takes 10-15min. After water is boiling take off lid and stir the beans, then lock the lid back on and start timing when the pressure steam starts coming out.
 The pressure cooker will take 15 to 20 minutes to come to full pressure before cooking begins.
