Yeah, I'm a huge fan of pressure cookery and use them daily to cook almost anything. I often cook 1/3 to 1/2 cup portions of dried beans, just enough to serve two. The soaking takes longer than the cooking, but since that doesn't require any effort on my part, except remembering to do it, no problemo.
