Black Beans in Instant Pot

Used recipe from loveandlemons.com
Roughly 1 cup or half bag of beans to 3 cups of water. So if full bag or 2 cups, then 6 cups of water
Half a bag was too much too cook for 5 lunches, so would try 1/4 next time.
Still playing around with the times of cooking. Did 22 min cook time and a little firm, so would try 25 min next time.
If using in chili, would try soaking prior 8-24 hours beforehand.
*UPDATE* Black beans caused too much gas.  So recs online say to soak overnight and rinse thoroughly.

-8 oz black beans (half the bag) ~ 1 cup --> yielded about 465 grams of black beans
-3 cups of water
-spices of your choice: minced onion, garlic powder, cumin, chili powder, serrano, salt, black pepper; could try real onion, real garlic, lime juice, bay leaf.  Skip the oregano because Eric sensitive to it.

3. Add 3 cups of water to 1 cup of beans
