Thank you soooo much for this! I’d all but given up on dry beans because of that instant pot struggle!

[@veganmichele]

You are welcome! I was in the same boat not so long ago. I hope you enjoy the recipes!

[@tammi67able]

Thank you so much ❤ so very much, this video is exactly what I needed . Definitely subscribing and getting your cookbook

[@veganmichele]

Awesome! So glad it was helpful, thank you for your kind words and enjoy the cookbook.☺️

[@tammi67able]

@@veganmichele you’re very welcome

[@lindapiccotti3311]

I don't know what took me sooo long to cook dry beans in the instant pot. I made the black beans today and OMG, they are the best black beans I have ever had in my life! Thank you for inspiring me to go for it, I'm so happy that I did. My husband and I keep saying OMG, as we're eating it, lol. I'm going to try other beans, too.

[@veganmichele]

Awesome!! Good for you guys!

[@kelleyleblanc5025]

Wow!! This is exactly what I was looking for 😊. I have frozen fermented beans in 2cup portions and I needed to pressure cook them in the IP for chili. Thank you!!

[@veganmichele]

Awesome! You are welcome☺️

[@WldHny1]

I just inherited an Instant Pot--thanks for the intro to beans!

[@veganmichele]

Awesome!

[@franciscachesca]

GREAT video! You made me very enthousiastic to use my instant pot again. Thank you so much!❤

[@veganmichele]

Awesome! So glad, Francisca🥰

[@davidthescottishvegan]

Another fantastic video Michele and thanks for the PDF which will be handy for when I cook beans in my instant pot (which is my favourite kitchen appliance). Love 🥰 the video and love 💕 Michele.

[@veganmichele]

Thank you for watching and for your kind words, I’m so glad it will be of help you😀

[@bigmam7782]

Thank you so much. I also was disappointed in the instant pot. But now I am inspired to try again

[@veganmichele]

I think when you can find the right timing and ratios it is a good machine, but until then 🤣

[@lukesmith3172]

Good advice as I start eating plant based foods..first dish, the African peanut soup ..Looks so good

[@veganmichele]

Here you go: www.veganmichele.com/single-post/african-peanut-stew

[@daves5445]

Thanks for your tips and recipes here. Always have been terrible at trying beans in the pressure cooker. Will give these recipes a go.

[@veganmichele]

I hope you enjoy them😀

[@isnoo1]

I have always had a lot of dried beans - I LOVE them even though I am a meat eater as well. It just hit me I could use my Insta pot to cook them quicker - which is how I cam across your page!! So here I am following your tips/recipes to assist in making meals for my camping trips. Easy simple and nutritious is what I am after - that I can freeze and/or vac pack as well.

[@veganmichele]

Awesome! Yes I always used to cook them on the stove or slow cook, but this method is great as well! Enjoy☺️

[@madonnella]

I usually cook any kind of soaked bean for only 8-10 minutes on the instant pot. Never had undercooked beans. But I usually do natural release, just letting the beans sit until whenever I’m going in the kitchen later on. I also do the pot in pot method, so I cook them right in the glass containers or stainless bowls.

[@veganmichele]

Hi! So glad that works for you😀. I’ve never been able to cook soaked beans that short have have them not be hard. ☺️

[@lindapiccotti3311]

Thank you! I've been avoiding cooking beans in the IP but you've inspired me to go for it!

[@veganmichele]

I hope you like the recipes!

[@lindapiccotti3311]

@Vegan Michele I've heard that if the beans are old, they remain hard. Any truth?

[@lindapiccotti3311]

see above, lol@@veganmichele

[@EconolodgQMB]

Thank you so much

[@veganmichele]

You are welcome!

[@tomithot261]

Great video ... finally know the 1-4 ratio, thanks.

[@veganmichele]

Awesome, thank you. I hope you like the ratio :)

[@TheIslandBathProducts]

I know you say a 1 to 4 ratio of beans to water but in your black bean recipe, you said 2 c soaked beans and 4 cups water? Help? Also, did you measure your 2 cups of beans DRY or after soaking? Thanks. Can’t wait to make this

[@createwithconfidence8094]

I finally decuded to buy an Instant Pot, after eating whole plant foods for three years. I found I was less motivated to cook and I was drawn to the rice and beans cooking in larger quantites and freezing, as well as set it and forget meals in the instant pot. After making a sloppy joe batch today, I cooked basmati rice. I followed timing based on web based findings. However, I'm going to try a slightly different cooking method next time as it was stickier than I like. Beans are my next thing to use the Instant Pot for, probably tomorrow evening after we eat. I can cook the beans and package them for freezing. Thanks for the video. I've saved it.

[@veganmichele]

Good luck! When you find the perfect timing for yourself, you'll be so happy to have the instant pot as a tool :)

[@amybethkit]

Wonderful video packed with useful info. Thank you so much! (White letters on a pink background is hard on the eyes for old folks like me, for future reference) ❤😊❤

[@veganmichele]

Thank you for your suggestions!

[@randywdc1]

Ooooh, those black beans topped with pico de gallo looks delicious. Am I correct in assuming you do a natural release for about 15min or did you do a quick release? Thanks, Can’t wait to try these.

[@veganmichele]

Thank you! Yes you are correct☺️

[@phillippinter7518]

How long to cook can also depend on how much beans your cooking.

[@mikeskylark1594]

Beans in a pressure cooker are my dietary STAPLE

[@veganmichele]

Awesome! So easy :)

[@jageo48]

Great video, Michele. You are _wasting_ that precious bean water from soaking and/or cooking, by letting it drain down to the sewer. There is not much better house plant watering than smelly ole bean water. Your house plants will thrive like never before. It will help complete the missing pot microbiota. Another hint is that powdered spices seem to sink to the bottom and burn. I use black pepper-laced turmeric for its anti-inflammatory and anti-cancer test positive. Maybe I'll try your 4:1 ratito.

[@veganmichele]

Hi John! Awesome tip I will absolutely start using the bean broth for that. Thank you!

[@beezlebab5653]

Are black beans still a 1:4 ration of water? or is it a 1:2?

[@k.h.6991]

When in doubt, go for more water.

[@lavondadebrito1178]

What do you cook most in the instant pot

[@veganmichele]

Mostly just beans or rice personally. I don’t typically use the instant pot for full meals, I definitely have instant pot recipes on the channel because I get a lot of requests for them, so just search vegan Michele instant pot if you are looking for more🥰

[@lotusflower3154]

Bean cook better in a crockpot

[@veganmichele]

I do agree, a lot of people have always requested instant pot pressure cooking methods so that’s why I made this video. It’s a great way to make them quickly and I’ve gotten better with making them this way🥰
