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.
