Tired of soaking your dried beans overnight? Tired of eating highly processed rice and grains so that they will cook quicker? Fortunately, your Instant Pot® can solve these problems and you’ll be eating rice and beans in no time. Be sure to carefully follow the recipe instructions in this chapter as the beans, rice, and grains continue to cook in the steam during the natural-release phase of Instant Pot® cooking. If you release the pressure too early, it could result in inedible little pebbles. Plus, starchy items can clog up the anti-block shield if the pressure is released too quickly. So plug in your Instant Pot® and get ready to enjoy recipes such as Wild Rice with Hazelnuts and Dried Apricots, Rotini with Mushroom Cream Sauce, Black Bean Sliders, and more.
