Question:
What percentage does soaking beans reduce cooking time for Instant Pot?
— Nancy Johnson-Cramer
Answer:
You typically don't have to soak them before putting 'em in Insta pot. Um, most of them don't say you have to, uh, pre soak. In fact, I, I don't think I've ever seen one for an Insta pot that you soak the beans in. Um, so, uh, as far as soaking beans to re reduce cooking time, um, you know, the Insta Pot makes beans so fast instead of like waiting for 45 minutes to cook beans, I can do it in 10 minutes, which is fantastic. So, um, I typically wouldn't even pre-soak the beans if I'm using the Insta pot.
