Notes

• This one takes around an 1:30 to cook and release the pressue. Plan ahead!

Ingredients

• 1 pound dry pinto beans
• 5 1/2 cups water
• 1 2/3 Tablespoon Better Than Bullion vegetable base
• salt and pepper to taste (Honestly, mine didn’t need any. The BTB flavored them perfectly. Taste them first.)

Instructions

• Rinse off your pinto beans, and drain them using a wire mesh strainer.
• Add them to the Instant Pot, along with the water and Better Than Bullion vegetable base.
• Close and lock the lid, and cook on manual high pressure for 45 minutes. Note: It will take several minutes to come to pressure.
• Allow the pressure to naturally release (Do not use the valve, but let it sit until the pressure indicator pin drops on its own. Takes about 26 minutes, FYI.
