I love to batch cook. This recipe uses leftover liquid from my ChickPeas Recipe.

2 Pounds of Dry Black Beans

Liquid from ChickPeas Recipe.

Filtered Water


Rinse and drain black beans with clean water – I use this to rinse my grains and beans.

Place rinsed beans into Instant Pot

Add liquid from ChickPeas recipe.

Fill Instant Pot with water to max fill line. For faster cooking, use boiling hot water. I have this at my kitchen sink for instant boiling water.


Cook for 40 minutes. 

Natural Pressure Release.

Drain cooked beans into colander. 

I use these to grip the Instant Pot liner. Very useful, especially when the liner is hot!

I use this to divert the steam from the Instant Pot. Mine is a steam breathing dragon!

Save liquid for other recipes such as:

Black Bean Soup

Black Bean Dip

Black Bean Brownie

My Favorite, Easy, Filling Recipe -Welcome To Healthy Fast Food

You may freeze liquid into silicone ice cube trays for easy storage.

I love to freeze my cooked beans in 1 or 2 cup silicone storage bags so I will always have delicious, SOS Free, cooked beans which can be quickly defrosted.
