Noel...uhhhh, you FERMENTED the doggone things? Not by leaving them out
overnight you didn't.
As far as the gassy VW <G>, people who eat beans on a regular basis
generally don't have any problems digesting them.
I sure wouldn't use a rice cooker for even cooking rice...not trying to
start a disagreement, just my own quirk.
But slow cooking in a crock pot? That's a pretty good substitute for a
pressure cooker.
Ciao!
