Looking for some great Instant Pot bean recipes? Give these Refried Beans, 13 Bean Soup and Baked Beans recipes a try in your Instant Pot!
One of the reasons so many people turn to canned beans rather than cooking dried beans is because it takes so long to cook dried beans!
Fortunately for me, I recently discovered how easy it is to make beans in the Instant Pot. The Instant Pot is the perfect way to cook beans because the above boiling temperatures break down the indigestible sugars in the beans.
These sugars are the part of the bean that give you gas. By breaking these sugars down, you also make this frugal protein source better for your body.
With the Instant Pot you can cook dry beans without the overnight soak or long boiling process, saving you time and money in the long run.
