Quick Cooker Recipes Red Beans and Rice
With this Quick Cooker Recipes Red Beans and Rice you’ll be able to make a delicious pot of red beans and rice in an hour!
NO more soaking red beans overnight to soften.
(NOTE: After several times making the Red Beans and Rice in the Quick Cooker, we have found that the beans do come out softer when soaked. We put the beans to soaking in the morning and cook them for supper.)
NO more cooking in a slow cooker for 8 hours. NO more making rice in a separate pot.
The Pampered Chef Quick Cooker makes Red Beans and Rice fully cooked in 60 minutes on full pressure and 10 minutes for natural steam release. Dinner is served.

Quick Cooker Recipes Red Beans and Rice Cooking Method
Using the PC Quick Cooker, turn the dial to “Sear”.

Rinse the beans in a colander and then add to Quick Cooker.
Add in the 4 cups chicken broth and 1 cup water.
Stir well.
Place the rack on top of the beans and liquid.

Place the silicone cover over the ceramic pot and place in the special rack with handles.
Lower the rack into the Quick Cooker.

Make sure the steam valve button is flush with handle and the steam valve is down.
Turn the dial to the “Beans” setting. Press “Time” and the “+” to change the time to 60 minutes.

The Quick Cooker will begin to heat up and create pressure.
The 60-minute timer will begin once pressure is fully achieved.

Then, carefully turn the lid to remove and place aside.

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?

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!

Hi. Soaking ahead defeats the purpose of making a quick dish. Doesn’t the quick cooker “beans” instructions read “28” minutes?
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.
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.
THANK YOU! We have made the changes.
