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

In this video I show you how I make my pinto beans super fast in my instant pot. It is super easy!!

[@melanamarley]

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

[@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’m gonna have to try that!!

[@LowestInsurance]

Do you put the cilantro after? @ Bren G

[@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!

What a soothing peaceful narration,a pleasure to listen to 🇿🇦

Thanks for sharing Heather, I'll be using the beans to make burritos n Tostadas!

[@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.

[@JayGarcia303]

Not only does the garlic add flavor the enzymes in the garlic keep you from farting all over the place after dinner.. lol

[@briandaniel931]

Thanks so excited, cooking beans for the first time in my new pressures cooker😁

[@AgustinD1000]

I was a little nervous to try making beans in the instant pot, but you make it look super easy. Thank you!

[@claudiamariana1405]

You’re welcome! It is super easy just make sure to let them natural release for at least 25 minutes after the timer goes off :)

[@tracymorris5697]

Great recipe, thanks. I tried it and turned out! So happy 😁❤️

[@emilygonzales1654]

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.

[@crystinamarie1]

You guys I’m getting on the instant pot band wagon now. My friend just introduced me to this game changer.

[@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.

THanks for sharing, I’ll be doing red kidney beans and adding pig feet too ,, hopefully that soften at the same rate 😁

[@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.

[@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.

[@destaco7]

You might want to get a new pressure cooker😂

[@palomacervantes4787]

How much water did you use for the 2 cups of pinto beans?

[@SuperSandrarivera]

She said up to the 1/2 line in the inner pot

[@andrewjimenez1794]

Good job

[@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!!! 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

[@carolcole570]

I love love love soup beans ( pinto beans ), but have not been able to eat them for 15 years, because of diabetes. If your health is good, enjoy them !

[@alvinastrohm775]

I keep hearing to not salt until the beans are cooked. Otherwise you may get tough beans

[@christaortega8073]

Very true

[@348Tobico]

Never remove the onion and garlic!!! If need be just cut them smaller if you have a picky eater. They lend a richness and depth of flavor that only improves the taste of beans.

[@daviddarby1960]

is it same settings for chili

[@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.

[@chispan9965]

perfecto voy a hacerlo hoy 🙏

[@christophermorrisiscool]

How do you know how much water to add per cup of beans?

[@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.

[@kimberlygood2120]

Thank you. this helps

[@jasonkolinsky5884]

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

[@claudiamariana1405]

That is correct!

[@claudiamariana1405]

Or you can do 50 minutes cooking on high pressure and do a such release

[@EL724]

I love making CARNÉ GUISADA or STEW in my INSTAPOT.🤔🌹😋🌹😉

[@claudiamariana1405]

Yess! Same! I love how effortless it is to have a super good meal on the table! ❤️😋

[@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

[@samanthagarcia7604]

First time using my instant pot, cooking pinto beans. Am I suppose to vent or keep sealed? We had our instant pot for almost a year and FINALLY putting it to use, sooo excited and scared! Does anyone know?

[@BrideofJesuChristo2]

Thank you

[@rauls7616]

greetings, what size instaPot are you using?

[@barbaracluse5874]

I have the same small instant pot. Can you tell me what the different pressure settings are used for? I would appreciate it.

[@dryclimateutah]

So, I know it's 2 cups of pinto beans, but I don't have an instapot... I don't know how many cups of water is "the first little line".

[@ItalianinMedellin]

Thanks!!!❤

[@Gokywildcats11]

No chicken broth??

[@JJG84679]

Why not use quick release?

[@claudiamariana1405]

Because beans are not fully cooked. They finish cooking while they rest natural release.

[@claudiamariana1405]

You can do a quick release but have to cook them longer in high pressure.

[@elcomandante9299]

Garlic in beans?

[@kassandraromero367]

Omg thank you!

[@seasalt3188]

I like to put oregano tea in my beans.

[@rfloster]

35 minutes plus 25 minutes natural release!???? My thing must be broken lol I did an hour under pressure and I did another 30 minutes cause it wasn’t done

[@janetshelton8948]

How can you make the water thicker?

[@joseescorza1134]

Take a little bit of the beans and juice out and toss em into a blender, after blended , pour that mixture back into the pot and stir.

[@LessThanHandy]

@@joseescorza1134 Thank You!

[@rockingscents2951]

Can u not make the full bag of beans

[@lceb91]

35 minutes should be fine if you do a natural release

[@DiannaUrbigkit-kr4yf]

I never add salt until they finish cooking. Then use sea sat or Himalayan pink salt. Morton salt is nothing more than chemicals. Your beans would be better without the Morton.

[@sheilacrabtree5993]

DON'T add salt until the end. If you put it in at the beginning it causes the skin to be tuff

She does not know how to cook a pot of beans. She did not check the beans for rocks/dirtballs. she did not soak the beans for some hours, changing the water at least one. She did not add pork or veggie bacon bits. Add salt after cooking or the skins will be tough. She forgot pepper.

[@claudiamariana1405]

Just because I cook them differently from you doesn’t mean it’s the wrong way.

[@hildadizbalo8368]

If beans are already cleaned and sorted, you just need to wash them, soaking is optional. This recipe was just the basic way of cooking beans! It was not intended to be a full meal. To me it was just fine and simple for people that eat healthy and no pork or extras. At least Claudia Mariana knows how to cook beans, there a so many that appreciate the recipe! Greetings!!!

[@captaincrunch72]

YOU DO NOT have to soak beans to cook them in a pressure cooker... EVER !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! but she did cook them for 35 minutes.. which absolutely never makes them soft or done...

[@almaduran45]

captaincrunch72 you're correct but she aloud it to sit 47 min natural release after 35 min of pressure cooking. Perhaps that aloud it to cook through.

[@T.Hdez0809]

@@almaduran45 no there are other videos showing that after 40 minutes of cooking they would do an instant release and they came out perfect! But beware doing a instant release after any meal that is a soup the juice can release out as well, so that is why many let it release on its own when the dish is a soup dish. But I believe that’s why she put it at 30 minutes to add in the manual release without over cooking.
