- 2 cups water (to fill the jars)
- water (additional 1½ cups (see NOTES))
- salt and pepper to taste

For French Black Beans add:
- 1 TBSP yellow onion, diced

Instructions
- Put the wire or silicon lift in the bottom of the Instant Pot. Add 1½ cups water to the bottom of the pot (see NOTES)
- Put ½ cup dried black beans in a 1 pint jar. If you like, you can cook as many as four jars at a time.
- Add the seasonings of your choice. Be creative! Make four jars, each a different flavor!
- Put the jar(s) in the Instant Pot. Fill the jars with water to the brim.
- Close the Instant Pot. Seal the steam release valve. Choose the "multigrain" setting. Set the timer for 30 minutes.
- When the beans are cooked, let them depressurize then put lids on the hot jars. Let them cool on the counter for an hour, then move them to the refrigerator until you need them. They will keep for a week easily.
Notes
NOTE: When cooking in containers inside the pot, use the wire or silicon rack to keep your containers off the bottom of the pot. Add 1-1/2 cups of water to the bottom of the pot to create the steam that fuels the cooking process. This amount of water remains the same regardless of how many jars of beans you are cooking.
