The time in the instructions has not been changed to 60 minutes. I started cooking and after reading the comments section that I needed to set the cooker to 60 minutes. You might want to change it.

Hi Alli, Thank you for your questions.

Yes, you can cook the beans without soaking them. We have done it both ways, and it does work either way. Maybe we’re just old school, but if we know ahead of time we’re gonna be making the red beans, we do go ahead and soak them.

If we just decide to make them spur of the moment, we go ahead without soaking them.

I can tell you from experience that 28 minutes will not give you soft beans.

We put it on the “beans” setting, then adjust the time up to 60 minutes.

Hi. Soaking ahead defeats the purpose of making a quick dish. Doesn’t the quick cooker “beans” instructions read “28” minutes?

In reply to Aaron.

Aaron, THANK YOU for getting in touch. We have changed the recipe time on the website thanks to your note.

First of all, we change the time to cook from 40 minutes to 60 minutes. This will make the beans to cook better as well as the rice.

We also recommend soaking the beans if you have time. We now put our beans in a pot to soak in the morning to cook that evening.

We don’t use a seasoning packet, we just add Tony’s Creole Seasoning and granulated garlic to taste.

Thank you again for helping us to get this corrected!

Beryl and Mike

I attempted this recipe as directed. First, the beans were not fully cooked. Second, the rice turned out gummy. What season packet did you use?
