Place the lid on the pot. Make sure the pressure knob is in the SEALING position. Using the display panel, select the MANUAL/PRESSURE COOK function, high pressure, and use the +/- buttons until the display says 12 minutes.
When the cooker beeps to let you know it’s finished, let it naturally release the pressure until the display says LO: 35 or until the pin has dropped. Switch the pressure knob from the SEALING to the VENTING position. Use caution while the steam escapes—it’s hot.
These beans last for up to 2 weeks in the refrigerator. They also freeze well so if you’ve made too much, save them for another day!
Notes
Note: Consistency is dictated by how much liquid you add. You want to just barely cover them, even if some of them are peaking out, that's okay.Also, if you forget to soak your beans overnight you can cook them from dried for 60 minutes, high pressure, with a natural release.
