Instant Pot Pinto Beans | HOW TO MAKE PERFECT PINTO BEANS | NO soaking necessary

[@memyself9372]

I've hated the outcome of traditional bean cooking for years. FINALLY! These came out PERFECT! Salt & all! I was looking for a way to cook my beans to use in salads. These are on point!!! Thanks for sharing ❤

[@cidifede1]

I find beans cook more evenly without salt and acid( tomato or vinegar). Once the beans are done I just season the beans with salt and taste the bean water. Once the bean water taste good to me I allow the beans to soak up the salt that I added.

[@8stringmonkey]

Makes beans hard too

[@m_y_v_]

Same! My seasonings are added after the beans are done.

[@Joaquin546]

Not mine I put the seasoning along with red chili powder for flavor and color!

[@NikkiNicole2124]

I’m gonna try it this way next. I am trying it with today

[@WillowCreekStitchCo]

Best video I found, it is short and to the point! Thank you!

[@breng5222]

I first put the pot on saute mode add sofrito( Puerto Rican mix of blended onions,garlic,peppers,cilantro,cilantro. Etc.) Add 1 bullion cube, 1 tbsp tomato paste, mix until well incorporated. Then add the water and beans and cumin. Put pot on beans setting. Perfect beans everytime. I add chopped cilantro at the end to up that flavor.

[@claudiamariana1405]

That actually sounds amazing! I will have to try them like that sometime. Thanks for sharing :)

[@jasminepitts3979]

I was rushing to make beans yesterday for dinner. I love your recipe. I used garlic, salt pork, and added onion.(I had never added onion before) Delicious 😋 ❣️❣️❣️ Needless to say, our tostadas with picadillo were sooooo good👏 Thank you for sharing.

[@safiramusica]

try sautéed the onions and crushed garlic with oliveboil(in a separate fry pan)before adding the beans and water, also add few bay leaves in there.

[@jeananderson1598]

Thank you! I am new to pressure cooking and found your recipe most helpful. It serves a smaller number of people and not an army. I liked that you removed the garlic and onion at the end. This is perfect for 2 people with a little left over. Smaller proportioned recipes are hard to find.

[@melanamarley]

Thank you. This is what I needed. Tired of buying cans of beans when I can just stock up.

[@Dave_McKansas]

Black Eyed Peas instead and this worked well. I used a little too much water but they're fine. Interesting comments. I guess they aren't familiar with Pressure Cookers. My base seasoning is Salt, Pepper, Garlic Powder, Onion Powder, and Italian Herb Blend. Good beans without the hours and hours of soaking and "pot parenting". Mixed them with the rice from your other video. I'm stuffed. Thanks for feeding me.

[@gildoubrava5998]

43 yrs ago we made everything from scratch at Taco Bell. The beans were cooked in pressure pot, when done a spice packet was added, paint mixer on drill to blend up. Then trayed up and frozen so to be ready next day. The other fun tool would be the sheetrock mud rack, since we cooked up such large amounts of beans & meat that typically was frozen to start.

[@wemcal]

I remember those days.. don’t forget the lard block… I cooked them in the American cooker, put them in a grey bin and dated it.., that when we had the over head order board and had those lil markers with white wax inside to write the order.. because of that I always been a fan of pressure cookers

[@gildoubrava5998]

Just now seeing reply. Don't recall lard, maybe I just didn't know, only 17. COOKING the 10 lb solid frozen beef tube, sucked.

[@ChelleSimon]

I worked there at 17, about 16 years ago now and we used powder beans and mixed with hot water lol

[@ronsmith4968]

Yes,also cinnamon crispas,Pinto & cheese,bell beefer,encharito,pizzaz pizza,taco light,using tortilla to actually make nacho chips & taco shells... Shredding whole heads of lettuce,block cheese everything was fresh. Doesn't exist anymore ! Bro you took me back to 1985 when I was in Marina,CA taco bell.

[@raymondfornesjr1969]

Great video!! Really informing!! I've never tried garlic in my beans. That might be a great idea! But in my opinion onions, salt, and you definitely have to add cumin!! It takes your beans up a notch and it tastes so good even with the broth!!

[@kellysmith9607]

How much Cumin do you add

[@raymondfornesjr1969]

@@kellysmith9607 I put about a tablespoon and a half per pound of beans. But if you noticed in my comment I said it tastes very good with the broth I like to eat my beans with the broth.

Thank you! I learned about the instant pot too... Had no idea... TY

[@steveshea6148]

Thanks for the video. Something I do that you might like-- rather than free-pouring salt ( or spices)- I almost always pour the salt into my palm to verify the amount first, then put it in the recipe. Easy and controlled. Also when putting salt on already cooked food, I put it in my palm them rub the palms together over the food to distribute it evenly across the top rather than using a shaker. It really lets you have a direct sense of the amount you are putting on, without dragging out the measuring spoons.

[@Fritz722]

What are the benefits of letting the pressure release naturally versus releasing it manually?

[@dawnjohnson8739]

They cook longer when you let the pressure come down on its own.

[@tubejim101]

Thank you for sharing this. Do you eat it with the water, like a soup? Or do you drain the water?

[@claudiamariana1405]

You can eat them either way! Like a soup or you can drain the liquid and mash the beans in a little bit of oil to get refried beans.

[@Geno619]

I tried a couple of ways . Most people recommend cooking on high level for 10 to 15 minutes. I found that the way you do it on high slow cook for 35 to 45 soaked beans works best for cooking with the instapot. If I am home all day I cook 9 hours in a crockpot. Thanks !

[@acdcmiami]

You just gave me a great idea! I can use my crock pot to make beans rather than buying a instant pot. Im trying to avoid having more appliances in my kitchen.

[@deputydillhole]

@@acdcmiami I highly recommend ditching the crock pot and replacing it with the instant pot. The instant pot can be used as a crock pot if desired. I used to use my crock pot all the time but haven't used it a single time since getting the pressure cooker. It does the same thing just much much faster, and it gives the option to brown/sauté meats and vegetables before adding the other ingredients without using more pans. Under pressure a frozen pork roast will be done in about 2.5 hours versus about 6 hours in a crock pot. Take off an hour if it isn't frozen. I bought a large Instant Pot knock off made by the brand Crock Pot. It is awesome. I haven't noticed any difference in the food quality at all.

[@TerrySmith-sy7if]

Can I use the low pressure setting for the beans. Or does the high pressure setting work better.

[@claudiamariana1405]

Yes but leave them on for a longer time

[@rauls7616]

greetings, what size instaPot are you using?

[@alejandratrevino6500]

Can you explain the release button- new on this thing instant pot

[@claudiamariana1405]

The release button/knob needs to be on "Sealed" when it's cooking. After the cook time is up, you can leave the beans sitting there until the silver release button goes down on its own OR you can move the knob away from "sealed" so that it can release all of the built up pressure. Whichever way you decide to go with, do not open the instant pot until the silver release button next to the knob has gone down. That means it is safe to open the lid.

[@heidi.hannibal]

Hi, sorry but just to be sure, the valve you left on closed the whole time right?

[@claudiamariana1405]

Yes, leave the valve closed even after the cook time is up.

[@JesscuhhBoo]

I did 45 min last time and my beans were still hard! So I ended up doing 1 hr 30 min total until they were soft enough.

Thank you so much! I just purchased! So only 35 minutes cooking on high pressure. Then a good 25 minutes to release pressure when the pressure value drops down and done!??? Am I correct

What's the size of your Instant Pot? Mine is the big one, I feel like having 1/2 of water is too much, maybe? Thanks!

[@claudiamariana1405]

I have the 3qt Instant Pot. It's small but I think 1/2 water on the big one is good if you're makinv the whole bag. Try 1/4 of water for half a bag.

[@joatkins6741]

The BEST pinto beans are made using “Casserole” brand pinto beans! Along with a can of Rotel & adding at least 2 slices of cut up Wright’s bacon gives them a perfect balance… If you don’t want spicy beans, use a can of diced canned tomatoes… I also add cumin & chili powder when I want Mexican bean soup… Learned this from my grandmother many years ago, and I’m 71!!! 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

[@rebeccaalvarado8596]

do you add salt before you start cooking?

[@nanais007]

I couldn't seem to get super soft beans, so I took a suggestion from my mother of boiling. I don't soak beans even when stovetop cooking. I tried this today and they came out perfect! I put on medium saute for 25 minutes with some salt, pepper, garlic powder. Then added water to fill line, chopped onion, Tony Chetcheres, plus some liquid smoke. I also added 1 cup of brown rice rinsed. Pressure cooked for 40 mins. Maybe 10 mins of natural release. I have a 6qt IP Viva.
