Re: Need help with black beans made from scratch...............

 @duster95 - How long do you cook the black beans in the pressure cooker - and how much water do you add?

 

Thank you!

I came here to give my two cents (overnight soak), but ended up getting some awesome tips instead!

Get your flu shot...because I didn't.

Don't add salt or any acidic component such as tomatoes. The starch in the beans will not "bloom." The worst problem is usually that the beans are not fresh. You might try buying them where there is a lot of turnover (say a healthfood store like Newark Coop.)
