"The time it takes to cook beans is affected by the type and age of the beans and possibly the hardness of your water and your elevation. I made this in the Fagor Multi-Cooker pressure cooker using yellow-eye beans, so the times below reflect that. You may need to add a few more minutes to get the beans fully cooked. If you’re not using a pressure cooker, see the instructions in italics...."
