All it took was five minutes of listening and I had to thumb up & subscribe. You are an excellent instructor and I look forward to catching up with your other tutorials👍🏾
Believe it or not, I just received my I Pot today! I was so excited that I decided to try fresh green beans from the garden....they turned out awesome! Thank you Jill for all of your videos, recipes and humor....you are the reason that I now own an I Pot. I can see delicious meals in the future with this GREAT appliance!
There is and Instant Pot assisted QUICK SOAK. Cover the beans with 3 inches of water bring to pressure for 0 minutes. Let pressure release. This takes about 20-25 minutes total.
I've had my iPot for 2 years and didn't know that. I've been presoaking the same way I did with my stove-top pressure cooker. Just when I worked so hard to make a fully informative video, I still screwed up.
Jill, I have been pressure cooking beans (Instant Pot and stove-top) for years, but your simple explanation of solving the watery broth issue post-cooking, by refrigerating the pot overnight, was a lightbulb moment for me!
Quick way to "cream " your beans after cooking. Take a potato masher to the pot of cooked beans and "mash" a few times, stir and voila! "bean gravy" ;) I am really enjoying my instant pot!
Awesome video.....and I LOVE YOUR PRESENTATION.... you are a hoot.... great tips...and I love the fact that you can freeze them.... Thanks for your tips....
You answered a lot of questions in the video, Jill. Thank you for posting. I too have used the old fashioned, stove top pressure cooker when I was raising kids and working full time. Mostly meat because it took so long and in those days we didn't have so much fast food. Can't say I'm any expert on rice and beans but, am learning. Made my second pot of brown rice tonight and am figuring out that the booklet isn't very accurate. No problem tho. Each time is going to be a learning experience.
So helpful! Recently bought an iPot after many years of doing beans & other stuff in my rice cookers & crock pots. Big learning curve with pressure cooker. Your experience is valued!
Thank you for your time and effort making this video...I'm making beans right now and they smell great so far. My Instant Pot was given to me ...but with no manual or anything ... I had never even heard of the thing....I spent a while just pushing buttons trying to figure it out. Then duh...I thought TH-cam!! I love this pot now and use it all the time. TY for being there💙
OH THANK YOU! Congratulations on your new iPot! We're iPot Sisters now! 🙌WOOT WOOT🙌 Holler anytime you run into a question about using your ipot or just want to talk food. I'm online MOnday through Friday. :D
I could not tell you how many videos I have been watching all week long, and I must tell you, you sold me on this instant pot. Do you have a video on ribs! Thanks
I thought my little stove-top pressure cooker was a goner, when I tried to do dried beans raw (no overnight soak).....and the foam blocked the little stem that the weight sits on. I thought the rubber gasket was shot and I wasn't a happy gal. Turns out the pressure cooker works fine, I just won't do dried beans that way, any more. I wanted to see this video for the difference between the IP and my little critter. Am still debating on an iPot purchase, but I learn a lot from your recipes that I can translate to suit my situation. You do rock, lady!!
Bought your wonderful book! Am loving it...but I haven't had the courage to use my IP yet... Thnk you for ALL you do & your EXTRA ordinary encouragement to all of us newbies! Cheers ~
I am on fire! I have TWO MORE sitting in the que. Next up, Nelson's Grits from PlantPure Nation cooked in the Instant Pot then the day after that, Leftover Grits turned into Pretty Polenta. WOOT WOOT!!
I looooove my Instant Pot!!! It has become such a lifesaver for me! I used it Saturday to make a weeks worth of lunches and suppers Glory😊 why have I not bought one before???? I didn't realize what I have been missing. I have transitioned from meat eating to plant based/whole food lifestyle for 8 weeks now, and wow😳the weight loss has been awesome 21 pounds gone, blood sugar is normal, and the INCHES, YAY🎉
+M Bishop hallelujah! Welcome to the obsessed family of iPot owners. It sounds like you are fully hooked! I can feel your enthusiasm from here. Congratulations on getting your health back! 🙌WootWoot🙌
Jill I've had my IP for 3 years! I use it all the time but I always drain the water off after cooking beans and just store them in a container without liquid. This is because I didn't know it thickened!!! This is going to change beans for me!!
Hi Jill, I love your videos - thank you so much. I've had an Instant Pot for a year and rarely used it except to make bone broth. Now I am doing no oil, plant based whole foods. I just ordered your cookbook and I'm really looking forward to its arrival. In the meantime, I can look at it on the kindle. YAY!!! I'll let you know how it all works out. You are so very, very helpful. I'm looking forward to some good eats. :)
Thanks for the video, I was able to get an instant pot for my birthday during the prime day. But not my birthday yet, so can't use yet, but I can't wait!!!!!!!
+Simple Daily Recipes Thanks Jill for the birthday wishes. I did not 🙄 I was trying not to be greedy with my gift requests, but I hope to get eventually. So until then I will be researching individual recipes.
I understand. Did you know I have my instant pot book in a PDF format, too? It's half the price and quick to download from my website. Go to: simpledailyrecipes.com/bookshop
That was really helpful! I've been looking for an easy way to cook dry beans in the insta pot for a long time now. Thank you! I absolutely adore Liquid Smoke! yum yum yum yum yum
Thanks for all the tips! I'm new to Instant-Pot cooking and this was perfect for me. I googled red kidney beans in IP, but all the recipes called for some obscure ingredients, yours didn't. Thanks! I'll be coming back for more :)
Quick way to "cream " your beans after cooking. Take a potato masher to the pot of cooked beans and "mash" a few times, stir and voila! "bean gravy" ;) I am really enjoying my instant pot!
Bought a Power Cooker and used it but twice and was unsure I did right each time. Wish I had me a book on it as I am not absolutely sure of it as yet.Used the old type all my life. Oh well I will keep trying to get better with it.Wore out two in m y life so far.
Thank you for these instructions and you are amazing. My question is about freezing the beans. Do you freeze the same day or wait for the overnight "gravy" to form and freeze the next day?
This looks really yummy! I was just thinking about making some beans so I will make this for dinner. Thank you Jill! (I have a electric pressure cooker... just not a instapot. I have never let that stop me though!)
I love your way! I am not eating any flour or sugar products; are you recipes in your book compliant with those parameters? Also, since I don't currently have liquid smoke and would need to check the ingredients before I do, do you have any other suggestions for flavoring? What about using a vegetable broth instead of water? Thanks!
I just found your videos and the red beans came out PERFECT! I appreciate how you explained the process of how the pot has to heat up etc. I do have a question, is 20 mins more or less a standard for beans/lentils/etc.? In the IP recipe book they give the time 7-8 to cook pre-soaked beans and it I don't see that working.
OMG! You are so darn cute! You crack me up. Thanks for the great info. I have had my instapot for a year and have hardly used it! I am making beans today!
+Shellie the steps would be exactly the same, only the cooking time would change. For instance, set soaked black beans to 10 minutes cooking time. Soaked Kidney, Pinto take 20 minutes.
Once the beans are tender, just mash a few of them up in a separate bowl and dump them back into the beans in the I-Pot. I added the sausage to mine then let them simmer on saute for another 30 mins or so. When they start to cool, that should help thicken your broth into a nice gravy. You can also use the steam function to do this as well. I live in South MS where Red Beans and rice are the main courses! However, the beans are like spaghetti sauce, they taste much better the next day after sitting in the fridge over night. Yum!

I had my i pot since Christmas, but I was wanting your opinion on the natural release. Do you always let your food naturally release? Is there a benefit of doing the natural release? Are there cons to not letting it release naturally? I normally don't let my food release naturally unless I just forget it's in there. I always just vent it to release right when it's finished cooking. Thanks
My understanding is that, due to the slow pressure release, cooking continues longer under natural release. In a case like this recipe, that means the beans get softer. If you like your beans more al dente, perhaps rapid release would be for you.
I watched a video of a Greek cook that put an apple (he pulled out after beans were cooked ) with his beans he said the pectin in the apple will help thicken it up ,but he was using a regular pot not pressure cooker cooking the bean Greek bean dish.
Just bought your Kindle O M Gee iPod cookbook. It's great, but just 1 question. What would you suggest I 😶use as a substitute for soy curls? Live in Canada and the only place I can find them is Amazon.ca where theyre very overpriced, i.e. $40 cdn plus shipping for 8oz bag. There is a Vancouver store that has a reasonable price but they’re listed there as no lnger available
How long do you cook blackeyed peas? I used presssure for 20 minutes with a 10 minute release this morning and they came out way way to soft. Now, I'm doing black beans. :)
Good morning LindaW, I like to pressure cook fresh black eye peas 4-minutes with a 5-minute release. It's been a long time since I cooked dried black-eyed peas; I remember them taking 20-25 minutes with a 10-min release.
No I do not have experience with the 8-quart Instant Pot and I'm not ready to graduate up to it. I'll tell you why, too. I've been pressure cooking in 6-quart pots for 20 years. I have water and pressure cooking times memorized. If I bought the 8-quart, I would have to learn a new set of ratios to accommodate that size cooker. Plus, for my family of four, a 6-quart makes plenty of food to cover 2, sometimes, 3 meals for us. I do own two instant pots, sometimes I think of buying a third, but only so that I may cook different foods that require different cooking times. I work my Instant Pots like they are the burners on my stove-top. :D I hope I've been some help.

I was at Walmart to buy an iPod Jill but the ip box did not have a manual button so I did not buy it because I don't know how to turn it on because the book says manual are the cookbooks going to be written on how to use a new I instant pot ?? I don't know what button to push now or how to use it . I'm new at all this
Hi Lynda, Originally Instant Pot labeled the pressure cook button "MANUAL" because they call the whole appliance a pressure cooker. Now they sell it as a "Multi-Cooker" with the saute, steam, yogurt, sterilize, etc. functions. So, what you need to know is every time you read in my cookbook "Press the [MANUAL] button, you press the [PRESSURE COOK] button.
Enjoyed video very much and U R SO FUNNY!!! Will be buying recipe book. Question: I went to Amazon I didn't see anything mentioned about free kindle book. Do U have info or will U send me a link please?
When you buy the print copy, you'll get the Kindle version for free. Just be on the lookout after your purchase, when Amazon shows you the "Thank you for your order" page. On that page, to the right, there will be a mention about the book being available in the Amazon Matchbook program, then you'll see a "Click to buy now" button. Click on the button, Amazon will not charge you. The next page, Amazon will ask which device you want the Kindle version sent to. Select the device and your on your way. Boom! Done. Let me thank you now for buying my book! THANK YOU!!!
Jill McKeever, Simple Daily Recipes Thank You Jill for your prompt response!!! I really appreciate the helpful information. I actually have a power pressure cooker xl pressure cooker. But I can adjust. Look forward to viewing and using your recipe book.
+Easy Country Gardens Do you have an old favorite recipe you could email to me? I'd like to have a recipe to work with. My email is jill@simpledailyrecipes.com
I'm emailing you a recipe. It's a vegan recipe but not a nutritarian recipe. I would skip the oil. And, sometimes I use canned red beans and sometimes bagged red beans
Just wondering, Why did you soak them when you can cook them from dry on the IP? Got to add, you, Chef AJ and Lindsay Nixon aka the Happy Herbivore convinced me to go IP. My old Tefal pressure cooker worked just fine, almost feel guilty that I jumped ship!
I'll bet they turn out better. I've tried cooking straight from dry, but am not happy with the results. I haven't tried the quick soak method yet. I suppose I should give it a go.
I was going to return my instant pot thinking 🤔 why in the hell its taking so long to heat up!!!😤 Sweet lady thank you for explaining how this gadget works and cooking time. 😭 I’m not gadget challenged.
Instant pot and other pressure cookers are supposed to save you time. I’ve been pressure cooking for over forty years. You do not have to soak your beans. Make sure you add enough water to your beans about two inches of water. Your beans can be cooked for 45 minutes without boiling the water first. Once the pot stops, let the steam come down naturally. If you want a creamy bean then mash some of the beans and it will give you the creamy broth. You don’t lose much water when pressure cooking.
Six one way, half dozen the other. With Manual, the iPot remembers the last time setting, which is typically 50 minutes for me. If I used the Bean function, I'd have to press the "+" button to increase the cook time from 30 minutes t 50. Then I'd probably go past 50 and have to press the minus button to take it back down, then go past it again by a couple of minutes, back to the plus button to get it right. 🤣😂. Just keeping it real and honest.
I mentioned you in my video. I did mess up your last name, but fixed it and did mention your book, which I am ordering.... I made rice last night in mine and it came out perfect..... i do have a question about beans.. can you use canned or do they have to be dry beans?
Hi again...I just went to Amazon to check on the Kindle as I have the paperback...it doesn't offer me the Kindle version..it says "$11.99" for Kindle...It shows I bought the paper, but no offer to have it downloaded... :( Any advice? Love to have it on my computer. Thnks.
Hi VitaZgal! Thank you for buying my book. Go to Kindle Matchbook, log in with your Amazon password. Amazon lists all the Kindle versions of the book you've purchased. When you click on "Get the Kindle Version" it should download automatically for free. I've been told my other fans that Amazon remembered they had purchased the print copy. Let me know that it worked for you as well.
Amazon site was having problems...55 mins on phone & I finally got it downloaded...Hooray! Hope no one else will hesitate to get the Kindle...I did have to insist that the Kindle came free as initially it did not register as such with the purchase or on Amazon's end by phone. All is well...should be easy for everyone now... ~Cheers~
Hello. I have an electric Pressure Cooker. I cooked my beans and rice together. I have an Elite 10qt. I cooked 3c of pinto beans to 3 c of brown rice. I used 18 cups of water and cooked it for 32 minutes. My cookbook says 22 minutes for the rice, and offers no cooking length for the pinto beans. I looked on Google, and applied 3 cups of water per 1 cup of beans, and 2 cups water per 1cup rice. I calculated 15 c water total. I know something in the pot is going to overcook, probrably the rice. I made sure I added at least 4 tbsp of olive oil, and 6 boullion cubes. Do you think its going to turn out right? It cooks at 12 psi.
The pinto beans, if they were dry, will not be cooked tender. Dry pinto beans need 50 minutes of pressure cooking on high pressure. Brown rice only needs 22 minutes. Even if you tried cooking soaked beans and rice together, it would not work out. Soaked beans need 30 minutes of high pressure cooking. The rice, not matter the color, would be overcooked. Beans need extra water to cook properly and to a tender bite. How long have you had your pressure cooker?
How do you know that the water is boiling if you can't see inside or open the lid? I went by sound but that doesn't mean it was at a full boil. Help?!?
Love the IP and I'm a new subscriber, but....your bean recipes is just wrong. There's no bacon in it?!?! I don't think my mother ever made beans of any kind (and she made a lot of beans) in her life that didn't include bacon or ham.

Thanks, Jill. Can't wait to try this recipe.
I'm so hungry for beans right now....
Hi, Loved your delivery of the video. Question: We always add ham/cajun sausage, at what point could these be added? Thanks.
Back in the day, I would add meats in with the dry beans, water, and spices.
Once the beans are tender, just mash a few of them up in a separate bowl and dump them back into the beans in the I-Pot. I added the sausage to mine then let them simmer on saute for another 30 mins or so. When they start to cool, that should help thicken your broth into a nice gravy.

Welcome to the iPot family!! Holler if you ever have questions, after you've read through the manual that is ;D
We're having this tonight. I couldn't find red beans, so we're having pinto. They're on the saute' function now. :)
Thanks!

Good morning LindaW, I like to pressure cook fresh black eye peas 4-minutes with a 5-minute release. It's been a long time since I cooked dried black-eyed peas; I remember them taking 20-25 minutes with a 10-min release.
I am a new subscriber. Just got my IP . I love your videos!👍💕
I love beans
have you had any experience with the 8 quart IP? I am in the process of deciding which one to buy. thanks:)
No I do not have experience with the 8-quart Instant Pot and I'm not ready to graduate up to it. I'll tell you why, too. I've been pressure cooking in 6-quart pots for 20 years. I have water and pressure cooking times memorized. If I bought the 8-quart, I would have to learn a new set of ratios to accommodate that size cooker. Plus, for my family of four, a 6-quart makes plenty of food to cover 2, sometimes, 3 meals for us. I do own two instant pots, sometimes I think of buying a third, but only so that I may cook different foods that require different cooking times. I work my Instant Pots like they are the burners on my stove-top. :D
I hope I've been some help.

Noobie question, The manual says to not fill more than 1/2 for certain items (black beans?) does that half full include the water
Just got my new Instant Pot. I should have listened to you. I pushed the bean/chili button and overcooked my kidney beans. I will do better next time!
I've overcooked plenty of foods when pressure cooking. It happens ;D
Nice
I was at Walmart to buy an iPod Jill but the ip box did not have a manual button so I did not buy it because I don't know how to turn it on because the book says manual are the cookbooks going to be written on how to use a new I instant pot ?? I don't know what button to push now or how to use it . I'm new at all this
Hi Lynda, Originally Instant Pot labeled the pressure cook button "MANUAL" because they call the whole appliance a pressure cooker. Now they sell it as a "Multi-Cooker" with the saute, steam, yogurt, sterilize, etc. functions. So, what you need to know is every time you read in my cookbook "Press the [MANUAL] button, you press the [PRESSURE COOK] button.
Are the printed instructions in the cookbook? I just ordered two copies!
I GOT MINE!!!!!!!
Woot Woot!!!
Enjoyed video very much and U R SO FUNNY!!! Will be buying recipe book. Question: I went to Amazon I didn't see anything mentioned about free kindle book. Do U have info or will U send me a link please?
When you buy the print copy, you'll get the Kindle version for free. Just be on the lookout after your purchase, when Amazon shows you the "Thank you for your order" page. On that page, to the right, there will be a mention about the book being available in the Amazon Matchbook program, then you'll see a "Click to buy now" button. Click on the button, Amazon will not charge you. The next page, Amazon will ask which device you want the Kindle version sent to. Select the device and your on your way. Boom! Done.
Let me thank you now for buying my book! THANK YOU!!!
Jill McKeever, Simple Daily Recipes Thank You Jill for your prompt response!!! I really appreciate the helpful information. I actually have a power pressure cooker xl pressure cooker. But I can adjust. Look forward to viewing and using your recipe book.
Hi Jill! I just bought my first instant pot but I don’t have a “manual” button. What do I do in this case?
It's the pressure cook button.
Can you do a 'red beans and rice - Cajun style" for us in the Ipot???
+Easy Country Gardens Do you have an old favorite recipe you could email to me? I'd like to have a recipe to work with. My email is jill@simpledailyrecipes.com
I'm emailing you a recipe. It's a vegan recipe but not a nutritarian recipe. I would skip the oil. And, sometimes I use canned red beans and sometimes bagged red beans
Just wondering, Why did you soak them when you can cook them from dry on the IP? Got to add, you, Chef AJ and Lindsay Nixon aka the Happy Herbivore convinced me to go IP. My old Tefal pressure cooker worked just fine, almost feel guilty that I jumped ship!
I'll bet they turn out better. I've tried cooking straight from dry, but am not happy with the results. I haven't tried the quick soak method yet. I suppose I should give it a go.
I was going to return my instant pot thinking 🤔 why in the hell its taking so long to heat up!!!😤
Sweet lady thank you for explaining how this gadget works and cooking time. 😭 I’m not gadget challenged.
I love you!
THANK YOU!
is that the only way to make the sauce thick?
Instant pot and other pressure cookers are supposed to save you time. I’ve been pressure cooking for over forty years. You do not have to soak your beans. Make sure you add enough water to your beans about two inches of water. Your beans can be cooked for 45 minutes without boiling the water first. Once the pot stops, let the steam come down naturally. If you want a creamy bean then mash some of the beans and it will give you the creamy broth. You don’t lose much water when pressure cooking.
Soaking the beans has an added bonus of minimizing the bloating you get when you eat them :).
Hi Jill, instead of using manual. Why u did not use the bean/ chilli mode?
Six one way, half dozen the other. With Manual, the iPot remembers the last time setting, which is typically 50 minutes for me. If I used the Bean function, I'd have to press the "+" button to increase the cook time from 30 minutes t 50. Then I'd probably go past 50 and have to press the minus button to take it back down, then go past it again by a couple of minutes, back to the plus button to get it right. 🤣😂.
Just keeping it real and honest.
I mentioned you in my video. I did mess up your last name, but fixed it and did mention your book, which I am ordering.... I made rice last night in mine and it came out perfect..... i do have a question about beans.. can you use canned or do they have to be dry beans?
Thank you for mentioning me on your channel. I will be sure to watch and share it out. Can I use canned beans for what?
In the instant pot..lol.. you said to ask a question, so I did.. lol..
I have used canned beans when throwing together quick stews in the iPot.
ok good. I have canned black beans...
Hi again...I just went to Amazon to check on the Kindle as I have the paperback...it doesn't offer me the Kindle version..it says "$11.99" for Kindle...It shows I bought the paper, but no offer to have it downloaded... :( Any advice? Love to have it on my computer. Thnks.
Hi VitaZgal! Thank you for buying my book. Go to Kindle Matchbook, log in with your Amazon password. Amazon lists all the Kindle versions of the book you've purchased. When you click on "Get the Kindle Version" it should download automatically for free. I've been told my other fans that Amazon remembered they had purchased the print copy. Let me know that it worked for you as well.
Amazon site was having problems...55 mins on phone & I finally got it downloaded...Hooray! Hope no one else will hesitate to get the Kindle...I did have to insist that the Kindle came free as initially it did not register as such with the purchase or on Amazon's end by phone. All is well...should be easy for everyone now... ~Cheers~
Jill, I heard somewhere that salt makes the bean cooking time longer. Is that incorrect?
Hello. I have an electric Pressure Cooker. I cooked my beans and rice together. I have an Elite 10qt. I cooked 3c of pinto beans to 3 c of brown rice. I used 18 cups of water and cooked it for 32 minutes. My cookbook says 22 minutes for the rice, and offers no cooking length for the pinto beans. I looked on Google, and applied 3 cups of water per 1 cup of beans, and 2 cups water per 1cup rice. I calculated 15 c water total. I know something in the pot is going to overcook, probrably the rice. I made sure I added at least 4 tbsp of olive oil, and 6 boullion cubes. Do you think its going to turn out right? It cooks at 12 psi.
The pinto beans, if they were dry, will not be cooked tender. Dry pinto beans need 50 minutes of pressure cooking on high pressure. Brown rice only needs 22 minutes. Even if you tried cooking soaked beans and rice together, it would not work out. Soaked beans need 30 minutes of high pressure cooking. The rice, not matter the color, would be overcooked. Beans need extra water to cook properly and to a tender bite. How long have you had your pressure cooker?
wow, couple gold nuggets in this video. plato in the back too, !?
How do you know that the water is boiling if you can't see inside or open the lid? I went by sound but that doesn't mean it was at a full boil. Help?!?
I don't worry whether the water is boiling or not. The electric pressure cooker is doing the cooking, so I can go do other chores.
I thought the iPod was for listening music, lol!!!
lol Well, for those of us who love cooking with a pressure cooker, the pressure cooker hissing, IS music to our ears. ;-)
HOW DO I COOK A PEPPER SQUASH...OR ACORN SQUASH,..OR BUTTERNUT SQUASH..?...
I bought your cookbook. Your recipe for bbq cabbage only talks about saute function but not any pressure cooking. Am I missing something?
No, the iPot is a cook pot AND a pressure cooker. The cabbage only needs pan frying with a little bbq sauce to be made into a meal.
😇💜😇
Are red beans the same as kidney beans?
2:04 it is pronounced "fart water" around these parts. It comes from the French, "pew pew."
Love the IP and I'm a new subscriber, but....your bean recipes is just wrong. There's no bacon in it?!?! I don't think my mother ever made beans of any kind (and she made a lot of beans) in her life that didn't include bacon or ham.
fiosfiend how do you cook beans with ham hocks or bacon
Confused. You set the instantpot at manual for 20 minutes. Talked about timing. Then it went back to the cooking and it'd been on 46 minutes. ?!
😇💜😇
