here is the information from my copyright 1958 MirroMatic Pressure
Cooker recipe/direction book. I'm giving amounts for a 4 quart pressure
cooker. 6-8 quart is just slightly larger amounts, cooking time remains the
same.

Soak all dried vegetables overnight in water to cover. Then drain, add
necessary water and cook. Directions for 1 cup of vegetables
