Instructions (9 steps)

01Add black beans, water, and salt to the instant pot.
02Make sure the release valve is in the "Sealing" position.
03Place the lid on the Instant Pot, turn and lock.
04Press "Manual" button on the Instant Pot on high pressure, and then set the timer to 30 minutes using the "+" or "-" buttons.
05It will take about 15 minutes for the pot to heat and build up pressure. You will see some steam release from the lid, and then the time will start on the display.
06Once cook time is complete, allow the pressure to naturally release for 20 minutes.
07Use an oven mitt or towel to slowly and carefully twist the steam release handle on the lid to "Venting" position. The initial release will spray some moisture around the pot so be careful.
