This simple method to cook Instant Pot black beans gives you perfect black beans each and every time! No soaking, the perfect texture, and so much more flavor than canned beans.
Prior to owning an Instant Pot, I considered beans to be one of those things that I just didn’t have time to cook. But ever since the Instant Pot came into my life, I’m cooking Instant Pot Chickpeas and Instant Pot black beans from scratch, because they take just 5 minutes of prep time.
The Instant Pot makes cooking black beans easy for a few reasons, but the biggest one? No need to babysit a pot to make sure it doesn’t boil over or over-reduce, just set it and go about your day!
The method I’m sharing today can get into the Instant Pot with under 5 minutes of effort and yields 6 cups of perfectly tender and delicious black beans. We often freeze our black beans for later, so I’ll share how I do that as well.
We love Instant Pot black beans because
- they save us money
- they taste way better than canned
- thanks to the Instant Pot, they are so quick & easy to make
- you don’t need to soak them first
- you can freeze them for later
