ABSTRACT:
A legume rehydration control apparatus and method employ a buoyancy restraint device, a buoyancy detection device, and a plurality of latch devices. The buoyancy restraint device is adapted to evenly submerge and hold dried legumes in a vat of rehydration liquid at a level below the level of the liquid in the rehydration vat and to allow the liquid to rise past the restraint device and above the level of the legumes through a sufficient distance to provide an ample supply of liquid to accommodate the rehydration of the dried legumes. The buoyancy detection device is connected to the buoyancy restraint device and adapted to detect the change in buoyancy of the legumes by monitoring the upward and downward movement of the restraint device relative to the rehydration vat and thereby the change in the buoyancy of the legumes which underlie the restraint device. The latch devices are connected and adapted to secure the buoyancy detection device to the rehydration vat by manually actuating the latch devices between latched and unlatched positions relative to an upper edge portion of the rehydration vat.
