The electric pressure cooker is a great rice cooker too!

It is stored in the Kitchen, at the bottom of the shelf for personal storage of used dishes.

Potatoes

Prepare potatoes by cutting them to similar size. 5cm diameter is a good measurement. - Fill pot, but be careful not to overfill beyond the lip of the pot. The valve on the lid should move freely.

Beans

- Wash them and soak for many hours. Throw away the soaking water. - Put in pressure cooker, cover with water, add salt and half a tea spoon of baking soda.

I'm less sure about beans yet, because too many variables. But it is around these lines.
