I am looking for a table of cooking times and bean:water ratios for various types of dry beans in a stove top pressure cooker. I want to cook the beans without pre-soaking. Can you help?

Expert Response
Here is one recipe I found for unsoaked beans in a pressure cooker. Please refer to your manufacturer's instructions for your pressure cooker.
- 1 pound dried beans (see below for cooking times for specific beans)
- 8 cups water
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 to 2 teaspoons salt
- 2 o 3 cloves peeled garlic, optional
- 1 bay leaf, optional
Special equipment:
- 6- to 8-quart pressure cooker (I use a 6-quart Instant Pot)
Black-eyed peas : 20 to 25 minutes
Great Northern beans: 25 to 30 minutes
Navy beans: 25 to 30 minutes
Pinto beans: 25 to 30 minutes
Cannellini beans: 35 to 40 minutes
Chickpeas (garbanzo beans): 35 to 40 minutes
Cook beans at high pressure for the time recommended above. The pressure cooker will take 15 to 20 minutes to come to full pressure before cooking begins.
