The BEST Instant Pot Pinto Beans (and How to Serve …

1. If you’re soaking the beans (this is optional), place them in a large bowl and cover them with 3-4 inches of cool water. Let sit overnight. Drain and rinse before cooking. Reduce the water to 5 cups.
2. Place the drained beans in the instant pot and add the water (*if you soaked the beans, reduce the water to 5 cups), garlic, shallot, bay leaf, salt and bacon (if using). Lock on the lid and cook on high pressure (“pressure cook mode”) for 35 minutes for un-soaked beans, and 15 minutes for soaked beans. Release the pressure valve and let the steam release. Unlock and carefully remove the lid. Taste a bean—if it’s still slightly chalky re-lock the lid and cook on high pressure for 5-10 minutes longer (see the notes below).
3. Discard the shallot and bay leaf. You can leave the bacon in the pot or remove it as well (same for the garlic—I usually leave it in the beans because it’s so damn delicious). Add the vinegar, and season with additional salt to taste. Let the beans cool in their liquid. Eat the beans just as they are, or check out my serving suggestions above!
