Tips for Saving Cooking Gas

Rice and beans each have their own way of making it, but you can make this preparation more economical.

For the rice, you will sauté it normally, using the seasonings you are already used to, add water and let it boil for 5 minutes. Turn off the heat and cover.

Yes, at this point there will still be a lot of water in the rice, but it will absorb everything during the 15 minutes that you leave the pan covered. Believe me, your rice will be fully cooked, even if it only boiled for 5 minutes.

The ideal option for this technique is to have a pan with a thick bottom and thicker walls, such as stainless steel, cast iron, ceramic or clay, which retains heat better.

For beans, the tip is to soak them for 12 hours. It seems like a lot, but if the beans are young, this technique works great. After this time it will only need 6 minutes under pressure. You turn off the cooker and let the pressure release naturally. Your beans will be well cooked!
