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.)
