    EXCELLENT! 1 QUESTION.
    This was exactly what I was looking for. I want to buy dry beans, and prep them for future use so I won't need to buy canned. My one question is about the cooking time. The show notes say 20 minutes but your video shows you cooked for 28 minutes.
    I want to soak them first so it sounds like I'll only need to cook them for about 14min – Is that right?

    Am getting headache after tasting the beans..the liquid taste bitter & quite not right even after adding flavor to it. I cook it twice 20 mins & 15 mins in the pressure cooker. Very frustrating. Into the trash bin they go.

    The liquid is loaded with micronutrients which are wasted if you throw it out. How much water does it take to cook the beans but not have any remaining water?

    Why do you say 28 minutes cook time in the video, but in the recipe you wrote in the description box, you state 20 minutes? 🙂  Thanks for the informative video!  I've subscribed!

    Hi Nili, I absolutely love your channel and you have made me unafraid to finally start using my Instant Pot I got for Christmas LAST YEAR (2016)! I do have one question, you said you cut the time for soaked beans by about half, if trying a bean Instant Pot recipe would you think to use dry beans and double the time if the recipe calls for soaking? I hope that makes sense lol. Again, I really love following you. Thank you for sharing so much!
