Sift through the white beans to remove any large pieces of dirt or debris.
Thoroughly rinse the beans under cold running water and then pour them into the instant pot.
Pour in the water and set valve to Sealing, then select Pressure Cook setting to High for 30 minutes.
Allow the pressure cooker to come to pressurize (time will depend on your altitude, mine took 12 minutes), once it’s pressurized cooking time will begin to count down.
Once the 30 minutes are up, and the machine beeps, allow it to Natural Release for 20 minutes.
When this time is up, release any remaining pressure in the pot by setting the valve to Venting.
Carefully open the pot turning away from your face. You can use a wooden spoon instead of your hand as well.
Most of the water will have been absorbed by the beans. At this time you can add salt or any seasonings you would like.
