Instructions
Rinse and pick through your beans, removing any shriveled beans or rocks. Place the dry beans in the Instant Pot liner, then add the salt, broth, and water. Using hot water and broth helps bring the pot to pressure faster, reducing your cooking time.
Twist on the pressure cooker lid, turn or press pressure lever (if needed), and set on high pressure for 25 minutes. Add 10 minutes for large beans like great northern beans. When done, allow a 20 minute natural pressure release (leave pot undisturbed), then do a quick release my twisting or pressing the pressure lever/button.
Using pot holders, carefully remove the pot liner and drain the beans into a colander. Rinse the beans until the water runs clear. Serve the beans or store in the refrigerator or freezer for later (see notes below).
Notes
*For large white beans, add 10 minutes to pressure cooking. Presoaking is optional with this recipe. If you use presoaked beans, reduce the natural pressure release time to 10 minutes.
