Instructions
- Place beans and water in the Instant Pot.
- Seal the Instant Pot and make sure the pressure value is set to “sealing.”
- Press the “manual” or “pressure cook” button so that it is set to high pressure and use the “-” and “+” buttons to adjust the timer to 25-40 minutes, depending on the type of bean.
- When the timer goes off and the beans are done cooking, use the natural pressure release (i.e. do nothing).
Note: DO NOT use quick release when making more than one pound of beans. - Once the valve indicator has gone down, it is safe to open the Instant Pot.

Anytime I make plain beans, I leave them absolutely plain. That allows me to use the beans in both sweet and savory recipes without a problem. Unless you are making a big pot of beans for one particular recipe, I suggest you make them plain as well.
