Beans (Instant Pot)
Soak for at least 8 hours:
- 1-2 cups beans
- enough water to cover by 2 inches
Drain and rinse beans.
Put beans into Instant Pot and use fresh water to cover by 2 inches. (Do not exceed the max fill line.)
Put on the lid and make sure the vent is sealed.
Pressure cook:
pinto beans: 20 minutes
black beans: 25 minutes
kidney or navy beans: 30 minutes
Allow pressure to release naturally for 20 minutes.
Season to taste.
Notes
Subtract 5 minutes cook time for firmer beans (salad). Add 5 minutes for softer beans (soups).
An onion, jalapeno, or other seasoning may be added before cooking.
