Pinto Beans in the Electric Pressure Cooker
Success! I made pinto beans in my new 14 Quart Go Wise electric pressure cooker. You can also do Pinto Beans in the Instant Pot or another brand electric pressure cooker (it might be worth having a look at the best electric pressure cooker reviews before buying one). I headed out with a few of the kids for an afternoon hike. When we got back, the beans were waiting for us. With some brown rice made in the Instant Pot and cornbread from the freezer, we were ready for our big weekend meal!
One of the beautiful parts of large family cooking up a big batch of Pinto Beans in the pressure cooker is the beans do not need to be presoaked! No more forgetting to soak your beans, yay! Just rinse them and pressure cook away. 🙂
