I had a fagor similar to this , and when cooking 1 c. beans with 3 c. water, the beans cooked unevenly. Do you find that beans cook evenly in this PC?

I am not happy with magefesa. The food has been taken more time to cook than I expected!

I've never had any issues. I use coffee beans and grind them into the reusable filter and I fill the beans to the top as well as coffee pot. It sounds like the water is flowing too quickly into the filter and causing the grinds to "splash around'. Maybe trying the "1-4" feature and see if that avoids the problem

Hi Allyson, my cooker does the same thing. Overcooks, does not sit well, water boils over and I'm so unhappy with it I can't return it as it's too expensive to return because of the mailing cosyt Would Amazon take it back and pay return postage it was expensive!!!! Lucy Plus you can't put in dishwasher like my old one from 1940.

Yes, that is normal for a Fagor pressure cooker. Just heat the pressure cooker up with medium high temperature and waith until the button pops up. There are better designed pressure cookers like Kuhn Rikon or WMF, but they are not cheap.

It has to be a really small batch, I use half a cup of steel cut oats and two cups of water, overnight on the porridge setting. Comes out perfect every time. I tried cooking it with almond milk, and had boil over even with a small batch, so I just stick with water and add in more of whatever I want after it is cooked. If you need more than a couple servings of Oatmeal at a time, a cooker bigger than this one might be better, I lucked out in that this is all I need for my small family.

I haven't tried cooking them but I can't imagine why you couldn't. One issue might be different cooking times if you have a bag of mixed beans.

The only time I've had a problem was when I froze beans. I've since learned that isn't actually good for the beans anyway. But Peet's Major Dickason's blend is my choice also, and works just fine in this coffee maker! I do always, always brew on "strong" and use just a touch less water than the carafe indicates.Edited to add: I 've just read some other answers, and I'm embarrassed - but happy - to report that we never clean the chute. The only time we did was after we froze the beans and they gunked up the works!

Hi, I´ve been cooking with the times or periods that every recipe recommends and I´ve not get any problems. If that happens try to reduce the temperatures or time of cooking.

mine does NOT sit uneven and is used to make pancakes at least 2 times a week. We have also made other versions of pancakes with Quinoa and potatoes and it cooks perfectly.

Hi Pat, I placed water in the pot and used a meat thermometer and checked the temperatures of this unit. I only recorded the one at #3 and it was 180F. I have found this does seem to cook on the Low setting closely. I have been very happy with the unit. I hope this one temperature is a help for you.

Hi,Haven't tried - just use it for rice. I make mostly brown rice and the instructions don't allow sufficient cook time so I cook mine longer - fyi. Give beans a try!!

I am having the same problem. I just used the singel brew several times. We buy specialty coffee beans at costco & grind them daily since we love gormet coffee. I used 2 scoopes of beans (normally 5 scoops for a full pot) brewed it & it was see thru dirt colored water! WTF? So I ground up 3 heaping scoops & tried again, darker water with tons of grounds in it! Seriously? What could a preson possibly get wrong with putting in a cup of water, grounds & pushing a button (basically)? I dont get it...Maybe its just defective. I guess I hate the single brew in this machine now. Kinda sucks. BUMMER!

My unit is a single burner, and I like it very much. It heats up well and it works well. I have used a regular stock pot on it, that was half to three quarters full, when cooking dried beans. It is built well,not flimsy.

I does well. You can set the heat level and the time for roasting. You are going to judge the roast by sight and smell so you have to experiment a bit. Record your results so that you can duplicate the process. If you over roast and everything has carmelized you just have a dark and tasteless brew. I truly do love my SR500. I've learned that slightly lighter than a Full City roast gets most of my beans, whatever the source to the place that I like. Sometimes I adjust but that's normal with green beans from different sources and moisture content.

I have never had a problem with them cooking uneven. To be sure it sits even in the oven & to help you get them in & out of the oven I recommend placing them on a cookie sheet.

The base is uneven-(seven small half spheres). Usually that is a problem if using it on an induction stove.

Make sure you have the appropriate amount of water per type of food you are cooking. If that doesn't help cal them:) They have great customer service I would call them and they will probably send a replacement!
