Step 1

Place black beans and water in Instant Pot. Stir

Step 2

Place the lid on the pot and lock it in place. Turn the steam release knob to the Sealing position (or DON'T press the release knob for the newest model). Press the manual/pressure cook button (or dial) and the + or - button (or dial) to choose 30 minutes. The pot will take a few minutes to build up the pressure before the timer starts.

Step 3

When the cooking cycle has finished, let the pot sit undisturbed for 20 minutes. Then do a Quick Release of the pressure by turning the knob towards the Venting position (or pressing the release knob). When the metal pin in the lid drops down, you can open the lid facing away from you.
