Instant Pot - dry beans
I've only tried dry beans in the IP a couple of times and wasn't thrilled with the results. If you are having success with this, what is your method? We usually eat pinto beans. TIA

Did you do a soak cycle and and a cook cycle?

I've done a couple of beans+rice recipes with dry beans that were fine, but of course that doesn't help with needing just beans. |
Re: Instant Pot - dry beans
You also have to add lots of salt when you cook them.
If you don’t like them, try blending them for a more refried bean type product. |
Re: Instant Pot - dry beans
Soaking really gives the best results. Rinse after soaking.

I do dry weekly. I sort, dump in with a lot of water, add in all seasonings and salt, and do it for an hour. The 30 minutes guideline was nonsense for us, given the salt.

Oh neaver soak my beans when I prusher cook them. I copied the chart of times from hip prusher cooking and have it on my cabnet door.

Maybe it's different pots? Do different brands have different pressures? I don't know much about pressure cooking. I've only done it since getting the IP awhile ago. |
Re: Instant Pot - dry beans
I do them from dry in my IP regularly. I did significantly up the time suggested, though.
I do a QR, no salt or seasonings & give them good rinse before adding to my recipe. |
Re: Instant Pot - dry beans
I rinse my beans, but I do add salt and seasonings. Maybe that makes them take longer too? I think adding the seasonings during cooking gives the a great flavor.

Re: Instant Pot - dry beans
Adding salt when they cook will make the beans take much longer to get soft. I will salt after they are cooked.

Re: Instant Pot - dry beans
You can soak them in brine, though before cooking. It doesn't toughen the skins the same way and you get better flavor. Cook's Illustrated recommends a brine soak then cooking beans on the stovetop. I bet it would work similarly with a quick soak in the IP.
I soak dry beans overnight (for 8-24 hours), then store them in the freezer and throw the frozen beans in the IP (or slow cooker) when I need them. It requires much less planning. (And lower cooking times.) |
