They grew more like pole beans than bush beans. Pods looked like normal green beans. They don’t seem very kidney shaped. Any help is appreciated!
But we can't recall the variety on the right. Maybe cannelini? We know for sure the other two are orca and tiger eye.
ABUNDANCE!
Varieties - top left to right: O Driscoll Bean. Pellegrini. Ukranian Pole Bean. Rattlesnake. Annie Jackson. Dolloff. San Bernardo Blue. More Pellegrini and Ukrainian Pole Beans?? Kahnawake Mohawk. Cherokee. Mennonite Purple Stripe.

Long live the bean!
I have been incredibly frustrated with cooking pinto beans in a pressure cooker at my current rental.
Half the beans end up mush and the other are not fully cooked. Not an issue of cook time or lack of water. I have tried with varying amounts of beans to the same result. I’m not adding salt or any other basic mistake. I have also ensured the the seal and vent are working properly.
I’m wondering if anyone has experienced this? I’m starting to suspect the electric stovetop. Growing up I made tons of beans but we had a gas stove. It could absolutely be something else I’m not thinking of though. I am cooking 3 cups pinto beans in a medium sized pressure cooker with spices sans anything with salt for 50min (high elevation) If anyone has insight please let me know.
