How to Cool the Pressure Cooker

Video Transcript

"Hi, my name is Sheryl with expertvillage.com and today we are making a delicious black bean salsa. Right now we are making black beans in a pressure cooker. Now I have just been cooking these beans in 15 pounds of pressure for just 2 minutes. This is a quick soaking method to use with the pressure cooker. You can tell that it is at 15 pounds cause you can see 2 red rings. It is the highest amount but we don't want to have this sit for a long time. So it has now been 2 minutes and I'm going to take this over to the sink and I have a nice big bowl in my sink. I'm going to fill up with cold water, I'm going to fill it up with cold water. Very carefully I'm going to go ahead and put this pan in here and watch what happens to this little pressure bell. It is going to quickly going to go down and I'm never going to let the water to touch any where around the lid. I don't want the cold water getting inside the pan but see this pressure is dropping dramatically it has gone from 15 pounds it is now almost passed the 8 pound mark. It would only take a minute to do a quick release of pressure and then we are going to go ahead and cook the beans one more time for about 10 minutes. Then our black beans would be done it saves lots and lots of time. "
