I have encountered the information somewhere that the lectins can be cooked out of legumes with a pressure cooker. We really need beans in our budget! Any idea how long one would cook them to accomplish this?

I use a pair of fine tweezers and remove the lectins from my beans manually. Then I just cook them normally. Saves the hassle of soaking.
