No soaking is required for these beans so they can be done and on your table in no time. Don't let the beer scare you off. The alcohol cooks off so that the beans get 'drunk' and not you.
delicious! My only note is at 45 minutes, a few beans were not done, I added 10 minutes, which made some too mushy. But excellent flavor. I used dried cilantro. I chose bone broth because it has less salt. No salt was needed, plenty in salsa. I had not used the saute feature yet, that was fun. Cranberry beans are delightful. I am looking forward to trying more recipes for them.

These were delicious! Haven't done a lot with dried beans due to the steps involved, but quite easy in the new Instant Pot and perfectly firm texture after 45 minutes... big upgrade from canned. Plenty flavorful to just put in a bowl and eat but we also made Naan bread tostados (toaster oven with beans and a topping of cheese, then lettuce & sour cream) and loaded roasted pepper tomato soup with (beans & fresh tomatoes). Just occurred to me bean, rice, and cilantro burritos but I'm out of beans :(. All sorts of quick meal possibilities with a pot of these in the fridge!
