It's so easy to make Instant Pot Black Beans to use in so many dishes! 2 cups of dried beans will yield about 6 cups of cooked black beans!
- 2 cups dry black beans rinsed, drained, sorted
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1½ teaspoons minced garlic
- 6 cups water or more to be 1" above beans
-
Pour beans into a colander; rinse and drain. Discard any rocks/broken beans.
-
Place beans into inner pot. Add salt and minced garlic. Pour 6 cups water over the beans. This should be enough to fully cover the beans and be 1" over the top of them (add more water, if needed).
-
Lock the lid of the Instant Pot in place; flip pressure lever to SEALING. Set the cooking program for MANUAL (high pressure); set timer for 25 minutes. It will take about 10 minutes to reach full pressure, then the cooking program (and timer) will begin. When it reaches full internal pressure, the pressure gauge will pop up. Once cooking time (25 minutes) has ended, let the pressure release NATURALLY (do nothing). The pressure gauge will drop back down once all internal pressure has been naturally released, indicating it is safe to unlock and remove the lid.
-
Remove Instant Pot lid; remove beans with a slotted spoon and use the cooked black beans as you see fit. Enjoy!
NOTE: 2 cups of dried beans will typically yield about 6 cups of cooked beans. Serving size used for the caloric calculation was ½ cup cooked beans.
