Instructions
Measure the Pinto Beans out.
Place them in a wire mesh and rinse them a couple of times until clear.
To the inner pot of the Instant Pot, combine the ingredients - rinsed pinto beans, water & salt.
Cover the lid, turn the pressure release handle (vent) to Sealing position.
Cook on High Pressure for 30 minutes - Press the Pressure Cook button, making sure the “High Pressure” setting is selected, and set the time for 30 minutes. For slightly firmer Pinto beans, Cook for 25 minutes.
Natural Release for 10 minutes - Once 30 minutes is done and your IP display screen shows LO:00. Allow the IP to release pressure naturally for 10 minutes, then quick release any remaining pressure.
Check - Open the pot and check for the doneness. Check if the cooked pinto beans are tender and cooked well.
Drain the liquid from the beans if you like and set it aside for other uses. { Optional }
Allow the beans to cool down completely before storing them in a container.
