Step 1

Rinse your black eyed peas well and check over for any stones.

Step 2

Place 1 cup black eyed peas and 3 cups water in a large pot.

Step 3

Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer until the beans are tender. This will take about 45 minutes.

Step 4

Place 1 cup black eyed peas and 4 cups of water into the insert of an Instant Pot.

Step 5

Seal the lid and ensure that it is set to "sealing".

Step 6

Set to high pressure for 10 minutes.

Step 7

Once the Instant Pot has reached pressure it will beep and start naturally releasing the pressure. Allow to natural release for 10 minutes, and then flip the valve to "venting" and release the remaining pressure.

Step 8

Place 1 cup of beans and 4 cups of water in the slow cooker.

Step 9

Set to HIGH for 3 hours, or LOW for 6 hours. Check beans towards the end of the cooking time.
