Step 2

Step 3

is set to SEALING (not “venting”).

Step 4

and set beans to cook for 30 minutes. (It takes my instant pot about 10-12 minutes to come up to pressure.)

Step 5

When the beans are finished cooking for 30 minutes, naturally release the steam 20 minutes.

Step 6

by carefully moving the sealing valve from “sealing” to “venting” (I like to wear oven mitts when I do this, just in case)

Step 7

(if using) and season the beans to taste with salt.
