Pressure cookers are great. We use an instapot here at home. I keep an old school pressure cooker at cabin to use on camp stove. I would be hesitant to try using pressure cooker over campfire but I am sure it could be done.I love beans and rice and the pressure cooker makes short work of beans, no soaking necessary. Takes about an hour, add some creole seasoning, and voila.
My thoughts on speeding up cooking was in regards to grid down food prepartion. Portable electricity may be very precious and better saved for charging small electronics, lighting, etc.I measured it with whatever they call those power meter things. Once it heats up and pressurizes, it uses around 3 watts for most of the time. I should've written it down, but quite the energy savings over a crock pot. I had never considered a campfire pressure cooker... off to the overlord I go.
I wouldn't have any issue using a small stove top pressure cooker over a campfire/wood fired rocket stove/wood coal bed.Pressure cookers are great. We use an instapot here at home.

I usually just put the beans in a pot with water covering about 3" then bring to a light boil. When boil is present remove from heat and let sit for about an hour or two, rinse them then start cooking. They do expand pretty well that's why I have the extra 3" of water, I do this with chili red beans or navy beans for soup. I dont add salt to the water because I don't want the extra salt cause the cardiologist would give me the stink eye.Why You Should Soak Beans in a Salt and Baking Soda Brine Before Cooking

Propane and or LNG. Everything from a backpack stove to a bbq with a side burner to a kitchen stove.For me the conversation and importance of this post is when we don't have electricity and need to conserve our heating sources. This should be another tool in our preparedness plan. Thx
