Beans (lemmy.today)

I've always liked pinto beans, usually "refried", which is when you cook the beans and then mush them to a paste. Some crazy folks will blend the beans to a paste. I'm OK with that, but my latest thing is high pressure instapot beans with mushrooms.

Yeah you heard it here first folks! For the lazy people like me...6 volumes of beans to 1 volume of dried mushrooms in the pot with condiments and salt to your taste. Set it for 1 hr and come back to a meal full of various textures and the good bean flavor we've come to love.

High pressure?

I have done dried beans in the Instant Pot several times to good affect. 1 hour at pressure seems a long time.

I cook soaked chickpeas (bring to a boil, add dry beans, turn off heat, cover, sit for an hour) for less than twenty minutes in my instapot. It's probably close to an hour when you include pressurizing and depressurizing time, but it does sound like op is setting the pot timer to an hour.

Yeah for pinto beans I set it to an hour. I don't like my beans to have any sort of gritty structure. I like the beans basically made into a mushy consistency inside the ripped shell.

Yes, this! Any "crunch" and it's a bad bite. A nice smooth texture is what you want.
