So having just recently gotten my Instant Pot, the first thing I cooked was pintos. According to the information on the net I didn't have to soak them and the pressure cooker would cook them just fine. All true. However, the texture didn't seem to be quite right. Nothing to complain about, I just thought they could be a bit better. So I am embarking on a testing phase. I will do the pintos with a soak first and then the Instant Pot. After that I will compare with soaking and not soaking with the Crock pot. I am not bothering with top of the stove since I tend to burn them that way. Anyone ever tried this and what do you prefer?
Before acquiring the Instant Pot I always cooked them in the crock pot without soaking. I am not concerned with the cooking time so much as the texture. The pintos cooked in the pressure cooker seemed to have a little bit less firmness and "bite" than my usual method of cooking.
This testing phase should take quite awhile as that is a lot of beans to eat.
