Ingredients
- 1 lb Dried Great Northern Beans
- 1 tablespoon salt optional but recommended
- water
Instructions
- Use a colander to rinse the dried Great Northern beans under cold water, removing any dirt or debris. Discard any damaged or discolored beans.
- Add the rinsed beans to the Instant Pot. Cover them with water, making sure the beans are submerged by at least 1-2 inches. Add salt (optional) and stir. Secure the lid and ensure the valve is set to “sealing.”
- Cook on high pressure for 32 minutes. After 32 minutes, let the pressure naturally release for 10-15 minutes. Perform a quick release for any remaining pressure.
- Taste the beans to ensure they’re cooked to your liking. If they need to be softer, cook for an additional 5 minutes and perform a quick release.
- Drain the cooked beans and use them right away or store them for later.
