How is the Texture of the Black Beans using this Recipe to the T?

I like mushy beans, therefore at 25 minutes, NPR, the texture of these beans is soft and melt in the mouth. If you like more bite to your beans, then cook only for 18 minutes and follow NPR.

Can I use Canned Black Beans to make this recipe?

Yes, you can.

The time of cooking in IP will be reduced to 8 minutes for canned beans and at Normal Pressure. Follow NPR (natural pressure release) after the timer goes off.

Do I have to SOAK the BLACK BEANS before making this recipe?

Though I recommend soaking the beans for any recipe since it is good for digestion.

But if you do not want to, then you can make this recipe without soaking the black beans.

The time of cooking the Black Beans in IP will increase to 45 minutes at High/More Pressure cook setting. If you want more bite in your beans, then cook only for 38 minutes and follow NPR.

    Hi! I came across your recipe when I was trying to find a recipe with canned black beans as the star, and am looking forward to trying this recipe out!
    I do have a quick question though. By saying ”normal pressure”, do you mean high or low pressure? I have an IP LUX model that only can do high pressure, but I can adjust times for low pressure…
    I hope that question made sense!
    Thank you for your help!:)

      Hi Ashley,
      Thanks for reaching out. Yes your question makes sense :). Just go for High Pressure. Also, if you are using canned beans, then cook for 10 minutes.

    We love black beans but don’t cook with them enough. A dump and go meal like this though, it’ll definitely make it a lot easier to eat more of them!
