Instant Pot Black Beans

Step 1

Make sure the stainless steel insert is inside the Instant Pot.

Step 2

Add beans and water to the insert and stir. Add salt and vinegar and stir.

Step 3

Close the Instant Pot with lid, turn the valve to "sealing" position.

Step 4

Set to "manual" and adjust the timer to 30 minutes. Make sure the IP is set to high pressure.

Step 5

The Instant Pot will beep and start coming to pressure. It takes about 12 minutes for my IP to do that.

Step 6

When the timer is done, the IP will beep. Press "cancel/off" button and let the pressure cooker release the pressure naturally. If you are short on time, wait 5 minutes, then switch the valve to "venting".

Step 7

When the pressure is released, carefully open the lid away from your face.

Step 8

Drain the beans. Discard the liquid or use as a base for soups!

Step 9

Divide the beans into 1,5 cup portions and store in ziploc bags in the freezer or fridge, if using throughout the week.
