Instant Pot White Navy Beans (No Soak)
Description
This recipe demonstrates cooking dried navy beans in an Instant Pot without soaking. The beans are rinsed and mixed with water or stock along with a clove of garlic, salt, and olive oil. The pressure cooking method softens the beans thoroughly in about 25 minutes of active cooking time, with additional time for the pressure to build. Natural pressure release or a quick release after 10-15 minutes completes the process.
The beans come out tender and ready for immediate use or further cooking in other recipes. Olive oil and garlic add mild flavor during cooking, while salt seasons the beans.
Cooked beans can be stored in their cooking liquid in the refrigerator for up to a week or frozen up to three months, offering flexibility for meal preparation. Using this no-soak method streamlines bean cooking without sacrificing texture.
Ingredients
- 2 cups Navy beans dried
- 6 cups water or stock
- 1 clove garlic
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 tbsp olive oil
Instructions

- Press manual on your Instant Pot and set the timer for 25 minutes. It can take up to 15-20 minutes to pressure up. When done, natural pressure release or quick release after 10-15 minutes.
Notes
- Use the cooked navy beans immediately or cool and store them in the cooking liquid for up to one week in the refrigerator.
- For longer storage, freeze cooked beans for up to three months to maintain quality.
