Love this recipe! We have been eating these all week! We live in a small town in Asia where we can get no canned beans. We loved these!

Hi Theresa, you can drain the liquid or store the beans in it in the fridge – they’ll last longer that way. Drain them when you’re ready to eat.

The bean liquid gets much thicker (so I serve it all together) when cooked on the stovetop vs. the instant pot. Here’s that recipe: https://www.loveandlemons.com/black-beans-recipe/

A lot of juice/liquid from the beans, once cooked. Should we drain the juice?

In reply to Sam.

I have a comment to add about the extra liquid. I followed the directions for the 8qt cooker size mentioned in the writing section which said to increase the water in the larger cooker. But it definitely didn’t need it. I removed some liquid after cooking then simmered the beans on low for some extra time maybe 20 or more minutes. Then I used the back of a large spoon and Smashed some of the beans against the side of the pot. It thickens up the liquid. Was lovely any how I enjoyed it.woth some liquid def flavors the rice nicely. Ate with coconut, Cilantro, and lime rice. Will make again. This time for my family size of I will do an extra 2 servings. Dad claimed the leftovers for the next day and I was jealous. Lol I think this recipe would be nice too made with veggie broth when on hand.

In reply to Peter. Hi Peter, you can freeze them either way, but I think they come out a little better if you freeze them with their liquid.
