Cook your beans, it’s super easy and saves you time and money
The Grocery Guru Philosophy: Why spend extra on the convenience of cans when the freshest flavor (and the biggest savings) comes from the bulk bin? Cooking raw beans used to be a weekend chore, but with an Instant Pot, it’s a quick morning ritual.
Why Raw Beans?
- Cost: You get nearly triple the volume for the same price as a can.
- Texture: No more “canned” mush—just firm, creamy beans every time.
- Control: You control the sodium and the seasoning.
The Quick-Prep Method:
- Prep: Give your beans a quick soak and a thorough rinse.
- Ratio: Add 1 cup of beans and 2 cups of water to your pressure cooker.
- Flavor Hack: Drop in one vegetable bouillon cube. This infuses the beans with savory depth while they cook under pressure.
- Pressure Cook: Set your Instant Pot to Manual for 30 minutes.
By the time you’ve finished your morning coffee or gotten ready for work, your protein for the week is done!
