Christina's Notes
- Use Fresh Beans: Fresh beans often give the best texture. Using older beans can result in a longer cook time and uneven texture.
- Natural Release Instant Pot: Doing a quick release may not leave the beans as soft as desired.
- Allow to Rest: Let the beans soak up all the delicious flavor for a few minutes before serving.
