Notes:
The experimental bean cooker devised by Mattson and modified by Morris has been modified'electrically so that the operator need not be present during a cooking run. This not only saves time but, with samples that cook relatively rapidly, increases accuracy. When the percentage of beans cooked “done” is plotted against time on log-probability paper, the points fall closely about a straight line. It is believed that the “median cooking time” derived from such a plot represents the cookability of an entire sample somewhat better than does that from the S-shaped curve which results when the data are plotted on rectilinear graph paper.
