Instant Pot Black Beans

Directions

1. 1
   Make sure the stainless steel insert is inside the Instant Pot.
2. 2
   Add beans and water to the insert and stir.
3. 3
   Add salt and vinegar and stir.
4. 4
   Close the Instant Pot with lid, turn the valve to "sealing" position.
5. 5
   Set to "manual" and adjust the timer to 30 minutes. Make sure the IP is set to high pressure.
6. 6
   The Instant Pot will beep and start coming to pressure. It takes about 12 minutes for my IP to do that.
7. 7
   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".
8. 8
   When the pressure is released, carefully open the lid away from your face.
9. 9
   Drain the beans. Discard the liquid or use as a base for soups!
10. 10
    Divide the beans into 1,5 cup portions and store in ziploc bags in the freezer or fridge, if using throughout the week.
