Notes
- Texture. We all like our kidney beans different. 30 minutes with a NPR will produce just cooked white beans that don’t go to mush and is perfect for mixing with rice or into a salad for a one pot dinner. If you want mushy beans do a 40 minute cook time and then do a natural pressure release.
- Quantities. One recipe is 2 cups of kidney beans, and they will make double when cooked.
- Frozen Stock. Your frozen stock sits on top and will defrost as the beans cook, creating a much more flavoursome beans recipe.
- Thanks for reading our instant pot kidney beans recipe on Recipe This. We have many more instant pot recipes for you to check out next. Though if you would like to see more dried pulses, I recommend you try our instant pot chickpeas next.
