INGREDIENTS 

1 cup dried black beans, rinsed & drained

3 cups water

STEPS

1. In Instant Pot, add black beans and water. You can eyeball water just enough to cover beans by an inch.
2. For 6 Quart Instant Pot: Close the lid, set pressure vent to Sealing and press Pressure Cooking on High for 12 minutes. After cooking is done, let 6 quart Instant Pot bring pressure down on its own – Natural Release. Do not do Quick Release, your beans will be undercooked or fall apart.
3. For 8 Quart Instant Pot: Close the lid, set pressure vent to Sealing and press Pressure Cooking on High for 12 minutes. After cooking is done, let 8 quart Instant Pot bring pressure down on its own for 10 minutes and then release remaining pressure immediately. If you let your 8 Quart Instant Pot release pressure naturally all the way, black beans will be overcooked.
4. Open the lid. That’s it! Your Instant Pot black beans are ready.
