How to store beans
The best way to store cooked beans is to let them cool completely to room temperature before transferring them to an airtight container. This will help to prevent the growth of bacteria, which can cause food poisoning.
Once stored in an airtight container, I use Mason jars, cooked beans can be kept in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. You can also freeze cooked beans for up to 6 months. When freezing beans, it is best to portion them out into individual servings before freezing. This will make it easy to thaw only the amount you need at any time. When reheating cooked beans, heat them until they reach at least 165°F (74°C) to kill off any potential bacteria that may have formed while the beans were stored. It's important to note that beans that are not properly stored or left at room temperature for too long should not be consumed. If you have any doubt about the safety of your beans, it's best to discard them. InstantPot Frijoles de olla

- Rinse the beans and place them in the Instant Pot. Add enough water to cover the beans by about 2 inches.
- Add epazote, avocado leaves, or kombu if you wish.
- Close the lid of the Instant Pot and set the pressure release valve to "sealing."
- Press the "bean/chili" button on the Instant Pot and let the beans cook for about 40 minutes.
- Once the cooking time is up, let the pressure release naturally for about 15 minutes. Then, carefully turn the pressure release valve to "venting" to release any remaining pressure.
- Open the Instant Pot and remove the epazote. Discard the epazote and serve the frijoles de olla warm as a side dish or topping for tacos or tostadas—season with salt before serving.
