Notes

Texture. We all like our black beans different. 25 minutes with a QPR will produce just cooked black beans that don’t go to mush and is perfect for mixing with rice for a one pot dinner. If you want mushy black beans do a 30 minute cook time and then do a natural pressure release.
Quantities. One recipe is 2 cups of black beans, and they will make double when cooked.
Frozen Stock. Your frozen stock sits on top and will defrost as the beans cook, creating a much more flavoursome black beans recipe.
