Instant Pot Baked Beans
When cooking navy beans in an Instant Pot without soaking them, you will need to cook them on high pressure for about 30 minutes.
Keep in mind that the exact cooking time will vary depending on the age of the beans and the altitude you are cooking at.
After the cooking time is complete, allow the pressure to release naturally for 20 minutes before manually releasing any remaining pressure.
Once the pressure is fully released, you can open the Instant Pot and check the beans for tenderness.
If the beans are not yet tender, you can cook them for an additional 5 to 10 minutes on high pressure.
