This is an example of different cultures. In the black community we put the beans in a pot with our seasoning and some smoked meat and cooks for a few hours. I put mine in the crockpot. Worked every time.
The soaking can reduce the cooking time of the beans by half and also allows difference enzymes to leak into the water as then discarded for people who experience digestive discomfort when they eat beans. I always want to do the soak method, but I just don't plan well. Sometimes I soak for a few hours just before I cook.
Mary, you are so knowledgable, love how you teach. You don't assume that everyone knows the basics. Consequently, I learn a lot, and it sticks when you give detailed info. I would love if you dedicate a video to the insta pot. So many people have them and are afraid to use them.
My Instant Pot became my BFF in the kitchen!! I had double for surgeries recently and had to cook from a wheelchair…my Instant Pot really saved me. I would have had to eat tons of sandwiches without it.😆
Best pinto-bean-in-an-instan-pot video I've seen of perhaps 8-10. I especially value your comments about salt. Such a crucial ingredient with a number of effects. But the one that helps me most perhaps is that adding salt before cooking can prevent the beans from cooking completely. I think that must have been my problem that no matter how long I cooked some beans, they wouldn't soften. Thanks you for the help.
Mary! I've been so afraid of using my instant pot and I've owed it a year! You inspired me today to get it out, your instructions were so clear to me, we are having Pinto beans and cornbread for lunch today! Thank you! I love your videos and all the information you provide to so many of us. Have an awesome day!
Thank you so much for this teaching. I have not used a pressure cooker in years lol Last time I tried cooking dry beans it was horrible. I cooked on stovetop with salt and did not soak lol. Young people really need this knowledge. Keep up the good work:)
I'm a very southern Indiana Hoosier. In fact, only one mile from Louisville, Kentucky. My mom was ♥️ from southeastern hills of Kentucky. She always made the very best pinto, navy, & great northern beans. ALWAYS with real homemade cast iron cornbread. Always adding one tablespoon of good oil to the skillet, then heating the skillet up to 400° & then pouring cornbread mixture in 🔥 HOT skillet first, hearing that awesome sizzle first, then proceeding to bake. We never cared for white cornbread. Always yellow. 😁 Must have a hamhock, or a big ham bone !! 😋 I've never heard of adding brisket. Sounds so delicious. My daughter refuses to eat pork (ever since she saw a video showing how hogs/pigs are treated) so, she'll definitely love the brisket addition. I can't remember ever eating any beans without a fresh quartered onion. Mmmm. Other than salt added, & pork, I've never had tex-mex beans. Thanks so much for this video!! 👍🏻 Have a beautiful evening, & weekend starting soon. God bless you, Mary. ✝️
I just love your videos. I use them as a basis for a lot of my dinners. I making pinto bean soup today so I’ll sauté all the onions and veggies then add the beans, then the broth and then cook. Thank you very much for your time and your videos.
I am from Texas. I sauté bacon, ham or salt pork with onions prior to cooking beans. You inspired me make some today and I added ground meat and green onion sausage. Wonderful flavor. Thanks for the tips and tricks. Have a blessed day
I absolutely love pinto beans! I'm from the south and grew up eating them. I'll have to try your Tex-Mex version. The only difference from how I normally cook them is with adding the peppers. I'm sure it'll become my daughter's new favorite way to eat them! Thanks for the info Mary!
Our traditional Friday always no meat dish. Only with onion and dried red pepper boiled with the beans,no soaking🌶️ and Mint for better digestion. I love it. We use white beans. Salt mint and paprika white flour for souse for thickness at the end. Thanks so much my sweet Mary 💝 friend.
I have barely use my stove every since I brought my Insta pot last year. Oh I love this gadget, I don’t eat meat so I eat a lot of beans, legumes. You can still sauté your vegetables before putting your dry beans in your pot. My garbanzo beans are typically done in about 45-50 minutes. All other beans are typically done in a half hour.
Thank you for this video. I really liked how you washed those beans, I would eat at your house anytime! I am fairly new to the instant pot and learned something - it never occurred to me to hit cancel to have my food cook a bit longer. Thank you so much for your time and effort.
Thank you Mary for this recipe!!! I thought I only liked ham and beans with cornbread. We smoked a brisket and I had to hunt this video back up. They were wonderful!!! My husband (not a bean fan or a spicy fan) ate 2 bowls!!! ❤️❤️❤️
The beans look wonderful! I would like to see a few more things done in the instant pot. I don't have one of those but a different brand. It works the same basically.
Thank you for doing a video on pintos! I tried to replicate the cajun pintos sold at Bojangles (a fast food chicken place) by adding salsa or green and red bell pepper. I am still tweaking but my family also enjoys pintos with sour cream or homemade creme fraiche, raw jalapeno, and some raw scallions on top. That and some crispy cornbread and buttermilk. "That's good eatin'" as we say in the south!
works great. i love that it has stainless steal pot inside ruclips.net/user/postUgkxG-7WiT7ocumjytOpHDFt632PL0pxXRAg and not the one with coating. we used to have a coated pot before, and the coating slowly peels, and i am sure went into the food that we cooked. Absolutely love stainless steel, and will not use a coated product again.This pot has many settings and many buttons, and i need to sit down with a manual to figure out which setting to use. I used the basic functions, and even though i am not technologically skilled, i turned it on and assembled it without any help.Very satisfied with this product overall.
Yes I am moving away from canned beans and cooking dry beans. Thanks for your detailed instructions (including how to use the instant pot). The beans came out very delicious as a side dish for the pork bbq, which was cooked in a crockpot.
Mary, you're such a great teacher. I'm new to your channel and have watched a few of your videos so far. I love all the detailed information you give and have printed off the recipes from the ones I've watched. I look forward to putting into practice what I have learned and will be watching many more of your videos. Love your cheerful demeanor too.
Every recipe I love. This was my first time making pinto beans and although mine required an additional 10 minutes or so.. it was amazing and done so quickly. I doubt I'll be using canned beans again.
I am making these now. Didn't have any ground Coriander but I did have the seeds so ground it up myself. This sounds really good. Making some fresh Cornbread using fresh milled popcorn an soft wheat berries.. I'm ready!
Loved this video. I have an instant pot but haven’t used it much. I am making these beans tomorrow. I love pinto beans and the Tex mex version sounds amazing
Being from New Mexico I just pressure cook my beans with ham hock or salt pork for 45 minutes is a standard pressure cooker. They come out better tasting than when I use same method for the instapot and I tend to need to cook them longer for similar results. But they still taste better cooked the "old school" way. I rinse but dont bother to soak them.
By letting the pressure dissipate naturally the beans continue cooking while setting in the heat. That makes the beans more tender. My mother taught me that back in the day when she cooked pinto beans in a pressure cooker on the stove top.
I am currently on a road trip with my hubby. Usually I like to soak beans overnight, but I am experimenting with a small handful added to some dehydrated veggies. Hoping it turns out well :)
I havent bought a instant pot yet, not that i have anything against them....its just my kitchen is so small. I love pinto beans, i use them for almost everything. But to make them in 15mins...is a dream. So i may have to reconsider and buy one. Great video Mary
Hi Lyn, I understand completely. In the printable recipe, I have instructions for making these pinto beans on the stove top or in a slow cooker too: marysnest.com/how-to-make-the-best-instant-pot-pinto-beans/ Love, Mary
If you have a small kitchen, check out the instant pot mini. It's cute and takes up less space. It's great for 1-2 people just don't expect to put a whole roast or half a cow in the thing. The mini forces you to economize and cook health dishes with portion control.
Great video! I wanted to comment on salt. I forgot about it when I watched your salt video. I know that you've mentioned that your husband is from WV. Have you guys heard about J.Q. Dickinson Salt, which is taken from an ancient underground ocean that evidently flowed underneath the ground in WV? It's located in Malden, WV (near Charleston). They have an online site where you can read their story and place orders, etc. We bought some in bulk, as it's a local salt resource~~but it's rather pricey, so I use it sparingly. I thought I'd mention it. :) God bless!
I never soak beans first. They seem to effect me worse if I soak them first. When I make a batch of beans I freeze the rest right away even if I intend to have the rest of them the next day. Because, I dare not eat the leftovers if they are simply refrigerated. A big ole spoon full of beans will sustain me for hours. Love your videos!
When releasing the pressure if doing a quick release it helps to put a folded towel over it. Then it catches a lot of the steam and you can release it through the towel so you don't burn yourself. :)
I grew up eating them. My grandparents made them with bacon and my grandfather always put dried red pepper in them too. My mom made them too not as often, but when I was my teenager my friend that lived next door loved them so I had to have her over for diner when we had them. Also just wanted to say, I am a little nervous about eating beans unless I'm going to be home alone the next day, but recently someone made me some pinto beans in the instant pot w/ ham hock, I think she cooked them for about 45 mins, not gassy at all--I was surprised, so cooking them in the instant pot must help? just thought I would put that ou there--Mary being more diplomatic than me--very agreeable in the Instant pot. ;-D
I agree Debbie Mom & Grandma always put ham hocks or some kind of pork in the pintos!! I make them the same way too With a pan of cornbread 😋 Oh yes one of our favorites 👍
Hi Mary! Did you discard the water you soaked your beans in before cooking? I enjoy your teaching methods. You treat people with dignity and take the concern out of making a mistake. I make Puerto Rican rice and beans using a recipe from my brother in law's Aunt. For those that have difficulty eating corn, beans with rice also gives you a complete protein.
Such a great vid! I always learn so much from your vids. To do two pounds of pintos with ham hocks in my 8qt Instant Pot, do I just double the recipe? One thing I did want to make certain of is about the ancho chilis. Are you referring to a chili powder made with ancho chilis and other ingredients, or are you meaning just powdered ancho chilis? Also, I see a lot of comments from people saying there beans don't get fully cooked without soaking. From what I understand, older beans (several years past harvest) do not soften as well as younger beans. Also, water quality can seriously affect cooking time. If you have hard water, the calcium and the magnesium bonds with the cells walls of the beans, making them take a lot longer to cook. I wonder if beans produced in a hard water area require longer to cook, even if the cooking water is not hard.
Thanks for sharing. My mother never had them or cornbread in the Philippines. She had to learn how to fix them like my father's mother and stepmother did. My paternal grandmother died in a train accident (after my grandfather got off work they were walking along the train track and she somehow got bisected by it) when my father was still young. My grandfather remarried and my youngest uncle on his side of the family was born. He's younger than my siblings and I are. We used to call him Uncle Baby as we were already in school when he was born. We're doing well. Our power went off two days ago so we stayed at my mother's house which is closer to the school does is attending for Extended School Year which is a Summer program for special needs kids. He always attends as otherwise he regresses too much during the regular school year. We returned home yesterday since our power came back. Needed it charge Daniel's school iPad and his child tracker. Lee and him plan to go out later today. I guess I'll do some chores and do my hobbies.
if you soak them overnight you can have them ready in 15minutes. If restaurants invested in this technology and cost of power was reduced, overhead costs and climate sustainability can be achieved especially in the developing global south. No need to be using carbon dense materials like firewood to cook food especially beans without replacement of trees. Most homesteads use charcoal because of the high costs of power connection and investment costs. Hopefully with time things can change. Thanks for uploading
just cover with a cloth the vent and it won’t go everywhere if you want to release quickly. Beans with the juice is also good over rice, take some a bit if the liquid add to blender then take it to a frying pan let cook a bit and Now you have refried beans
Mary I will absolutely keep watching your videos (or maybe listening to them). Actually we’re not Italian but my husband talks with his hands as well!!!😂
Wow this is really helpful, thank you! I've never been a fan of beans but I'm wanting to get away from eating meat every day. This will be so helpful to make them in a hurry. You said though that you like to soak beans until they sprout. How long does that take? Thanks again!!
I almost always cook my beans with a ham bone. You’ve raised a question in my mind about not cooking beans with salt. Can you give me a suggestion as how to get the flavor and soft cooked ham meat into my beans………? I do soak my beans overnight. Thanks for all your cooking lessons and tips. Debi in Vicksburg, MS. 🥰🥰
On an American Test Kitchen video on baked beans the ladies said that soaking the beans in brine prevents the skins from breaking and the beans from splitting. I have found that to be true with navy beans, however, not with other less creamy beans like pinto and kidney beans. I have also found that cooking pinto and kidney beans in salted water can leave some beans tough. That seemed not to happen with navy beans. It comes down to trial and error. For example, the cooking times in these videos never work for me. For me cooking presoaked beans in the Instant Pot only takes 9 to 11 minutes on low. Otherwise they turn into mush. 🤷🏼♀️
I bought an insta pot, and lost instructions manual in a move. Thanks so much for the detail instructions on how to use. I was scared of using it. I too have a lot of beans that I had stocked up on. I can start using them. Thanks for this simple recipe.
Thank you for your offering, but I can't find the recipe when I click on your website. Can you please let us know how to find the recipe. Thanks a bunch.
Hi Mary. I have loved watching your videos and have learned so much from you. I have a question about beans from long term storage. I have some that are in a 5 gallon bucket that are several years old. We opened them and they look perfect. The problem we are having is getting them to soften. The lat time I tried cooking them in my IP it took over 2 hours. And thoughts or experience with this? Thank you.
First of all, thank you so much for the kind words! And yes, I do have experience with softening old beans. This where salt actually comes in handy! The first thing you want to do is soak your beans overnight in a salted brine. This is not so much for flavor as it is for the salt to help to begin to soften the bean. You will want to take 1 pound of dried beans (2 cups) and soak them in 10 cups of water with 2 tablespoons of salt. Then, the next day you go to cook them, you want to rinse the beans very well and then add 1/2 teaspoon of baking soda to the cooking water along with the soaked beans. Yes - baking soda does leach out some of the nutrients in the beans but when they are old, you need the help of the baking soda to soften the bean. These two steps should really help. Also - remember not to add any acid to the cooking water when cooking old beans. It works against the softening power of the baking soda. Also, if you have hard water, use bottled water. Sometimes the minerals in hard water can halt the softening of the beans. Hope this helps. Love, Mary
Interesting - this instant pot turns the proper way (clockwise to close, anticlockwise to open). Both of mine (cheap Chinese knock-offs) do it the opposite way.. 😁 Mine have all sorts of buttons on the front, one says "Borscht" - strange because no one around here has ever heard of Borscht - and there are no instructions! Still, I've managed to use both of them successfully, and I've found they're fairly easy to repair. Other weird buttons - there's one for Pizza, and another for Yogurt. Otherwise they work pretty much the same as this one.
Oh mercy honey! I feel sorry for anyone that has never had pinto beans. That sounds like abuse to me, ha! I really like to make my pinto beans with either hocks or bacon. Nah, I'm no vegetarian. I make a vegan stew out of my eggplant and other summer veggies out of the garden. Of course I put Italian sausage in mine. My sister said, "Well, that isn't vegan." I quipped back, "Nah, really?" Have a great weekend!
Hi Bindi, Yes, it is. But on my website, I have instructions for making these pinto beans on the stove top and in a slow cooker as alternatives. Love, Mary
I have always cooked (for a family of 6) large pots of beans, then freeze them in smaller containers after they've cooled to just reheat, refry, or add to recipes such as chili bowl.
I like pintos in a burrito as a variation from black bean burritos. Another is enchiladas. I also like using them in chili. That is where my husband and I disagree. He does not think beans belong in chili (he just wants the meat), and I cannot imagine chili without beans but am "take it or leave it" about the meat.
Incidentally - the Wikipedia article for the Pinto Bean states that the Pinto bean and other similar beans of the same species are pretty poisonous if they're not cooked at 100 degrees C for 1 hour, or in a pressure cooker for 45 minutes. Quite a shock when I found out - apparently a lot of cases of poisoning when people used a slow cooker at 80 degrees C. I just tried the method in this video for my last batch of chili and it works great - I did extend the cooking time to an hour though.

@@KellyBell1 i am so sorry to hear that hope alls well god bless you🙏
We add pineapple chunks, then take them out. It doesn’t add a pineapple flavor but it decreases gas issues. We also add jalapeño for flavor.
Interesting tip. Thanks for sharing!
Pineapple when soaking or cooking?
@@lauratempestini5719 while it’s cooking, really weird that it works
It’s the acid a little vinegar will do the same thing, although minimizing gas takes the fun out of beans imo.

Your right! Processed foods will blow you up.
Mary! How much water and beans and cook time for the mini Instapot?
Mrs. Mary always killing it with these cooking tips and recipes.
So many great tips in this one, Mary. Definitely avoiding the micro plastics. Hope you all are having a very blessed weekend.

works great. i love that it has stainless steal pot inside ruclips.net/user/postUgkxG-7WiT7ocumjytOpHDFt632PL0pxXRAg and not the one with coating. we used to have a coated pot before, and the coating slowly peels, and i am sure went into the food that we cooked. Absolutely love stainless steel, and will not use a coated product again.This pot has many settings and many buttons, and i need to sit down with a manual to figure out which setting to use. I used the basic functions, and even though i am not technologically skilled, i turned it on and assembled it without any help.Very satisfied with this product overall.
Yes I am moving away from canned beans and cooking dry beans. Thanks for your detailed instructions (including how to use the instant pot). The beans came out very delicious as a side dish for the pork bbq, which was cooked in a crockpot.
Loved how you explained everything so well to me a beginner. Thank you!
Soak your beans ALWAYS. Then pressure cook. You're trying to remove the lectins. Much healthier. Love you Mary. I can't wait to get your book.
Thank you for this wonderful video. I have subscribed! And I love your blouse 🙂
Mary, you're such a great teacher. I'm new to your channel and have watched a few of your videos so far. I love all the detailed information you give and have printed off the recipes from the ones I've watched. I look forward to putting into practice what I have learned and will be watching many more of your videos. Love your cheerful demeanor too.
Me too!! She teaches like I need!!!!
Every recipe I love. This was my first time making pinto beans and although mine required an additional 10 minutes or so.. it was amazing and done so quickly. I doubt I'll be using canned beans again.
Thank you for the excellent demonstration.
Mary, thank you for sharing your knowledge and your great sense of humor, love it and love your videos.
Blessings.

Great tips using Instapot. Thank you.
I cooked the beans and then made a soup with them in my crock pot. Superb.
I am making these now. Didn't have any ground Coriander but I did have the seeds so ground it up myself. This sounds really good. Making some fresh Cornbread using fresh milled popcorn an soft wheat berries.. I'm ready!
Loved this video. I have an instant pot but haven’t used it much. I am making these beans tomorrow. I love pinto beans and the Tex mex version sounds amazing
I grew up eating pinto beans
Fried and refried in a cast iron skillet..the best! 👍
Being from New Mexico I just pressure cook my beans with ham hock or salt pork for 45 minutes is a standard pressure cooker. They come out better tasting than when I use same method for the instapot and I tend to need to cook them longer for similar results. But they still taste better cooked the "old school" way.
I rinse but dont bother to soak them.
By letting the pressure dissipate naturally the beans continue cooking while setting in the heat. That makes the beans more tender. My mother taught me that back in the day when she cooked pinto beans in a pressure cooker on the stove top.
Wow! I am so glad that I found you. I enjoy cooking fresh food and you are an absolute delight. Thank you and I look forward to learning from you.
I am currently on a road trip with my hubby. Usually I like to soak beans overnight, but I am experimenting with a small handful added to some dehydrated veggies. Hoping it turns out well :)
I havent bought a instant pot yet, not that i have anything against them....its just my kitchen is so small. I love pinto beans, i use them for almost everything. But to make them in 15mins...is a dream. So i may have to reconsider and buy one. Great video Mary
Hi Lyn, I understand completely. In the printable recipe, I have instructions for making these pinto beans on the stove top or in a slow cooker too: marysnest.com/how-to-make-the-best-instant-pot-pinto-beans/ Love, Mary
If you have a small kitchen, check out the instant pot mini. It's cute and takes up less space. It's great for 1-2 people just don't expect to put a whole roast or half a cow in the thing. The mini forces you to economize and cook health dishes with portion control.
@@gif24gt60 thank you i will check it out.
Great video! I wanted to comment on salt. I forgot about it when I watched your salt video. I know that you've mentioned that your husband is from WV. Have you guys heard about J.Q. Dickinson Salt, which is taken from an ancient underground ocean that evidently flowed underneath the ground in WV? It's located in Malden, WV (near Charleston). They have an online site where you can read their story and place orders, etc. We bought some in bulk, as it's a local salt resource~~but it's rather pricey, so I use it sparingly. I thought I'd mention it. :) God bless!
I never soak beans first. They seem to effect me worse if I soak them first. When I make a batch of beans I freeze the rest right away even if I intend to have the rest of them the next day. Because, I dare not eat the leftovers if they are simply refrigerated. A big ole spoon full of beans will sustain me for hours. Love your videos!
When releasing the pressure if doing a quick release it helps to put a folded towel over it. Then it catches a lot of the steam and you can release it through the towel so you don't burn yourself. :)
Great tip!!
I add smoked ham hocks for another layer of flavor. Love your videos, Mary!❤️
Hi Debbie, Great tip! And thanks for the kind words!! Love, Mary
@Debbie Pruski , aren't smoked ham hocks or shanks one of the greatest things ever?!!🤗
I grew up eating them. My grandparents made them with bacon and my grandfather always put dried red pepper in them too. My mom made them too not as often, but when I was my teenager my friend that lived next door loved them so I had to have her over for diner when we had them. Also just wanted to say, I am a little nervous about eating beans unless I'm going to be home alone the next day, but recently someone made me some pinto beans in the instant pot w/ ham hock, I think she cooked them for about 45 mins, not gassy at all--I was surprised, so cooking them in the instant pot must help? just thought I would put that ou there--Mary being more diplomatic than me--very agreeable in the Instant pot. ;-D
@@missmaam792 They’re magic!
I agree Debbie
Mom & Grandma always put ham hocks or some kind of pork in the pintos!!
I make them the same way too
With a pan of cornbread 😋
Oh yes one of our favorites 👍
Thank you. Another carb that is perfect with beans, is rice. 😊
I like watching your channel you remind me of one of my HOME EC teachers❤❤❤
I love your warmed energy Mary.
I eat beans almost every day, and I find that ever since I started making them in the pressure cooker without soaking, they agree with me much more.
I made this today for lunch and it was amazing:)
Hi Mary! Did you discard the water you soaked your beans in before cooking?
I enjoy your teaching methods. You treat people with dignity and take the concern out of making a mistake.
I make Puerto Rican rice and beans using a recipe from my brother in law's Aunt. For those that have difficulty eating corn, beans with rice also gives you a complete protein.
Thank you so much for the kind word!! Glad you’re here!! Love, Mary❤️🤗❤️
Yummy. I am making them this way next time. God Bless. 😁. Thanks for sharing Mary.
Thank you Sweet Mary. My beans turned out excellent.
Wonderful to hear! ❤️🤗❤️
Mary's "ummmm !" alone is worth the price of admission.
:)
Such a great vid! I always learn so much from your vids. To do two pounds of pintos with ham hocks in my 8qt Instant Pot, do I just double the recipe? One thing I did want to make certain of is about the ancho chilis. Are you referring to a chili powder made with ancho chilis and other ingredients, or are you meaning just powdered ancho chilis? Also, I see a lot of comments from people saying there beans don't get fully cooked without soaking. From what I understand, older beans (several years past harvest) do not soften as well as younger beans. Also, water quality can seriously affect cooking time. If you have hard water, the calcium and the magnesium bonds with the cells walls of the beans, making them take a lot longer to cook. I wonder if beans produced in a hard water area require longer to cook, even if the cooking water is not hard.
Thanks for sharing. My mother never had them or cornbread in the Philippines. She had to learn how to fix them like my father's mother and stepmother did. My paternal grandmother died in a train accident (after my grandfather got off work they were walking along the train track and she somehow got bisected by it) when my father was still young. My grandfather remarried and my youngest uncle on his side of the family was born. He's younger than my siblings and I are. We used to call him Uncle Baby as we were already in school when he was born. We're doing well. Our power went off two days ago so we stayed at my mother's house which is closer to the school does is attending for Extended School Year which is a Summer program for special needs kids. He always attends as otherwise he regresses too much during the regular school year. We returned home yesterday since our power came back. Needed it charge Daniel's school iPad and his child tracker. Lee and him plan to go out later today. I guess I'll do some chores and do my hobbies.
if you soak them overnight you can have them ready in 15minutes. If restaurants invested in this technology and cost of power was reduced, overhead costs and climate sustainability can be achieved especially in the developing global south. No need to be using carbon dense materials like firewood to cook food especially beans without replacement of trees. Most homesteads use charcoal because of the high costs of power connection and investment costs. Hopefully with time things can change. Thanks for uploading
Mary, what about adjustment s for the Mini Instantpot?? Not everyone can afford the Maxi.
just cover with a cloth the vent and it won’t go everywhere if you want to release quickly.
Beans with the juice is also good over rice, take some a bit if the liquid add to blender then take it to a frying pan let cook a bit and Now you have refried beans
Mary I will absolutely keep watching your videos (or maybe listening to them). Actually we’re not Italian but my husband talks with his hands as well!!!😂
Very nice! Thank you for sharing friend! Love it!
Thanks, Mary. I'm a new Instant pot user and I've a question. When the beans are done, what do I do if I want to reduce the amount of liquid a bit?
thanks mary lot of love from pakistan seen yur channal first time
Thank you for another GREAT recipe!
Wow this is really helpful, thank you! I've never been a fan of beans but I'm wanting to get away from eating meat every day. This will be so helpful to make them in a hurry.
You said though that you like to soak beans until they sprout. How long does that take? Thanks again!!
Howdy from East Texas! Are you ROASTING out there? 102 with the heat index. LOVE your pinto bean recipe in the Instapot. I’ll try it this weekend.
My pintos came out perfectly with overnight soaking even in my high altitude....love this recipe!
I enjoy watching your videos
Glad you like them!
I almost always cook my beans with a ham bone. You’ve raised a question in my mind about not cooking beans with salt. Can you give me a suggestion as how to get the flavor and soft cooked ham meat into my beans………? I do soak my beans overnight. Thanks for all your cooking lessons and tips. Debi in Vicksburg, MS. 🥰🥰
On an American Test Kitchen video on baked beans the ladies said that soaking the beans in brine prevents the skins from breaking and the beans from splitting. I have found that to be true with navy beans, however, not with other less creamy beans like pinto and kidney beans. I have also found that cooking pinto and kidney beans in salted water can leave some beans tough. That seemed not to happen with navy beans. It comes down to trial and error. For example, the cooking times in these videos never work for me. For me cooking presoaked beans in the Instant Pot only takes 9 to 11 minutes on low. Otherwise they turn into mush. 🤷🏼♀️
I bought an insta pot, and lost instructions manual in a move. Thanks so much for the detail instructions on how to use. I was scared of using it. I too have a lot of beans that I had stocked up on. I can start using them. Thanks for this simple recipe.
The manual is available on the Instant Pot website as a PDF. I have downloaded it on my phone.
by the way...thank-you for the informative video.
If I use the slow cooker method, do I turn the knob to vent or seal?
her videos are so great
Wow! Thank you!! ❤️🤗❤️
I heard pre soaking helps with reducing the gas. Is this only true with people with IBS and other conditions ?
How long should I cook it if I added a ham hock?
Hi Mary, I love your channel, ♥️
Can you use canned green chilies?
Thank you for your offering, but I can't find the recipe when I click on your website. Can you please let us know how to find the recipe. Thanks a bunch.
Hi Mary. I have loved watching your videos and have learned so much from you. I have a question about beans from long term storage. I have some that are in a 5 gallon bucket that are several years old. We opened them and they look perfect. The problem we are having is getting them to soften. The lat time I tried cooking them in my IP it took over 2 hours. And thoughts or experience with this? Thank you.
First of all, thank you so much for the kind words! And yes, I do have experience with softening old beans. This where salt actually comes in handy! The first thing you want to do is soak your beans overnight in a salted brine. This is not so much for flavor as it is for the salt to help to begin to soften the bean. You will want to take 1 pound of dried beans (2 cups) and soak them in 10 cups of water with 2 tablespoons of salt. Then, the next day you go to cook them, you want to rinse the beans very well and then add 1/2 teaspoon of baking soda to the cooking water along with the soaked beans. Yes - baking soda does leach out some of the nutrients in the beans but when they are old, you need the help of the baking soda to soften the bean. These two steps should really help. Also - remember not to add any acid to the cooking water when cooking old beans. It works against the softening power of the baking soda. Also, if you have hard water, use bottled water. Sometimes the minerals in hard water can halt the softening of the beans. Hope this helps. Love, Mary
@@MarysNest thank you so much. I will try that this weekend!
How do I adjust the cooking time for Cheyenne Wyoming at 6000ft elevation?
All beans and grains have all essential amino acids... though beans are low on one and corn is his on what beans are low on...
Interesting - this instant pot turns the proper way (clockwise to close, anticlockwise to open). Both of mine (cheap Chinese knock-offs) do it the opposite way.. 😁 Mine have all sorts of buttons on the front, one says "Borscht" - strange because no one around here has ever heard of Borscht - and there are no instructions! Still, I've managed to use both of them successfully, and I've found they're fairly easy to repair. Other weird buttons - there's one for Pizza, and another for Yogurt. Otherwise they work pretty much the same as this one.
I love your show.
Oh mercy honey! I feel sorry for anyone that has never had pinto beans. That sounds like abuse to me, ha! I really like to make my pinto beans with either hocks or bacon. Nah, I'm no vegetarian. I make a vegan stew out of my eggplant and other summer veggies out of the garden. Of course I put Italian sausage in mine. My sister said, "Well, that isn't vegan." I quipped back, "Nah, really?" Have a great weekend!
Mary, do you think it’s safe to pressure can refried beans?
THANKS....
I'd like to see you make ice cream, but, first, I'm gonna try the pinto beans.
We have the same dishes. That pattern is so hard to find replacements for. I love my dishes.
Great vid! How do you spell the chili powder you recommended? (“Anchay Chove” chili powder is what I kept hearing).
Thank you in advance!
Ancho Chili Powder
Ilive I in aussie... is an insta pot a pressure cooker????
Yes....an electric one.
Hi Bindi, Yes, it is. But on my website, I have instructions for making these pinto beans on the stove top and in a slow cooker as alternatives. Love, Mary
That’s a lot of beans! Do you store them in the freezer to heat up again, or do you can them? Sorry if I missed it.
I have always cooked (for a family of 6) large pots of beans, then freeze them in smaller containers after they've cooled to just reheat, refry, or add to recipes such as chili bowl.
If you add sausage links to the beans how long do you cook them?
Hi just canned garbanzo beans & they turned out to soft how can remedy the beans to soft
Beautiful method! Thanks.
high pressure for 30 minutes if not soaked overnight or 15 minutes of high pressure if soaked overnight.
I have always used chicken broth instead of water when cooking my beans. Can I still do that using my instant pot?
Thats how I cook mine ( in my instant pot) and its SO delicious!
How would vegetarian broth taste?
@@gif24gt60 probably awesome!
I like pintos in a burrito as a variation from black bean burritos. Another is enchiladas. I also like using them in chili. That is where my husband and I disagree. He does not think beans belong in chili (he just wants the meat), and I cannot imagine chili without beans but am "take it or leave it" about the meat.
🙏♥️🙏
Thanks for sharing!
Have you ever cooked edimome
So so good!
Edamame
Incidentally - the Wikipedia article for the Pinto Bean states that the Pinto bean and other similar beans of the same species are pretty poisonous if they're not cooked at 100 degrees C for 1 hour, or in a pressure cooker for 45 minutes. Quite a shock when I found out - apparently a lot of cases of poisoning when people used a slow cooker at 80 degrees C. I just tried the method in this video for my last batch of chili and it works great - I did extend the cooking time to an hour though.
