Instant Pot bean recipe

Is that in the recipe book they give you ? I fix northern beans all the time but never have in a pressure cooker.

anybody prepare bean soup in theirs?

No, I like my beans to simmer for hours in order for the soup to be just right.

@SharkE. Google it. There are thousands (maybe millions) of recipes for pressure cookers online. Really there is no need for anyone to buy a cookbook.

Just bought my IPot a month ago - been too warm to think soup but have been about navy beans & ham. I think RedTop is correct - some things might just be better to slow cook than rapid. With beans have to be careful about froth resulting in a pressure cooker; but I did mark a good recipe re: that problem.

I just made a soup today...cooked chick peas (35 minutes after soaking for about 3 hours) and then in that cooking liquid added chicken better than bouillon, onion, garlic, carrots, celery, kale, brown rice, chicken. Added a slug of apple cider vinegar, some turmeric, black pepper, some herb seasoning (I like Bragg's organic sprinkle). Cooked 19 minutes. Gosh it was fabulous and I forgot to add the tomatoes.

I've cooked black beans in the IP without soaking. They came out great.

I cook lentils all the time in the IP but they never need soaking. I throw them in with veggies for soup.

I’ve been doing this for years. I soak beans a couple of hours or whatever I desire.

I put beans or 15-beans in pressure cooker and cover with water. I cook for 45 minutes and done. Whenever I cook dried Lima beans, I cook for 35 minutes. No more soaking beans overnight for me.

The only beans I’ve cooked are Lima’s, pintos, and 15 beans.

I'm used to old school ways and cover my nothern beans with water and let soak overnight. Next morning doesn't take as long to cook add bacon grease and chunks of ham.

Anxious to see how you can go about making them in the IPot.

Yeah, I'll research it if it's not included in the handbook.

There are some bean recipes in the recipe book. Cannelli Beans, Black Bean Soup and mashed pinto or kidney beans.

I soak mine before cooking tnem. I think the have a different consistency of you don't soak them. You may like them that way. If you soak them, they taste like the long cooked beans.

The key is to use Natural Release for any beans.

A Quick Release will force the bean liquid out of

the steam value and make a mess.

Don’t ask me how I know this!!! =:0

Really a ‘set-and-forget’ process.

I haven't yet but I just told my Husband tonight that I am going to try making it in the instant pot. Weird how that came up tonight. I think it should be great .

I put 2 cups dried, rinsed beans and 4 1/2 cups water in the Instant Pot. Cook it on high pressure for 50-60 minutes. Let it cool down naturally for 30 minutes. Voila! Very tasty cooked beans.
