Quick Black Beans in Instant Pot

Place a generous quantity of dried beans into the versatile pressure cooking device, taking care not to overfill it. Submerge the beans in a moderate amount of cold water, leaving a small gap between the liquid and the top of the container. Secure the lid firmly in place, ensuring it is properly locked to prevent any accidental openings during cooking. Utilize the manual setting on your pressure cooker and set the timer to 21 minutes at high pressure, adhering strictly to the manufacturer's guidelines. Allow a considerable amount of time, typically ranging from 10 to 15 minutes, for the pressure inside the cooker to reach its maximum level.

Once the pressure has reached its peak, employ the natural-release method as indicated by your pressure cooker's instructions, allowing it to take anywhere from 10 to 40 minutes. Open the lid carefully and remove it, taking care not to let any hot steam escape. Discard excess water from the cooked beans and permit them to cool down at room temperature.
