Cooking black beans can take forever because typically, they should be soaked first. Soaking black beans can be done overnight or may take two hours by boiling them. Thanks to the use of an instant pot, you no longer have to soak black beans and it can be done in under half an hour. All you have to do is hit the pressure cook button and set the timer to 25 minutes. When your instant pot black beans are finished, drain the water and store them in the refrigerator or freezer until you are ready to use them.
