Instructions

1. Add beans, water, and salt to an Instant Pot. Pressure cook at high for 40 minutes.
2. Allow pressure to release naturally. For firmer beans, quick-release after 20 minutes.

Notes

• For amounts equivalent to one 15-oz can, see “Can O’ Black Beans”
• See notes on high-altitude cooking

Testing Notes

• 1 can = 3.5 servings + enough liquid to bring total weight to 440 g
  • 1 lb dried = 13 servings
  • 3.714 cans of beans == 1 lb of dried beans
  • Assuming zero evaporation in the instant pot, total weight of beans should be: (3.714 cans * 440 g) 1634.16 g
    • Minus the weight of dried beans (453 g) = 1181.16 g (5 cups) water.
