I love that I can make exactly the amount I need and not have to waste part of a can.  Plus, these beans are SO easy to make from scratch!  For black beans, I generally use the quick-soak and no-soak methods, but I've included instructions for how to use all three here.   [If you try it, please leave a comment on the post to let us know what you think!](%2F%2Fwww.pressurecookingtoday.com%2Fpressure-cooker-carrot-cake-oatmeal%2F/1/0100018e4c4d2421-426290cd-45ad-450e-9998-1a388d1f38ca-000000/oBkPy2J00gDg3Qymv4JxLEOydBM=365) If needed, you can copy and paste this link into your browser: [A light gray rectangle with a diamond shaped photo on the right and text on the left that reads ] - Easter is coming up quick!

(If the box has a 10 or 11 minute cook time, there's no change to the cook time). Links not working?
