Common Bean Myths (2006)

One thing I read once about beans is that their effects on you have to do with whether you have the right enzymes for them. I grew up eating rice and beans every single day of my life, and never had issues with flatulence associated with eating beans.

A second, more important note is that an Instant Pot may be the best way to cook beans. I toss in cold, dry beans and water, and they're ready to eat in about 30m or so

I think there is something about the bacterial population in your gut building up (like those bacterial population curves) or gaining the genetic material to process beans. I started eating a lot more beans some months ago. At first it was horrible, I was a fart machine. By the third month on beans, I barely had any flatulence.

This, and if I do have farting spells I don’t think it usually smells that bad

Maybe I’m just flattering myself though

Not only ready but softer than any other method of cooking can get them (at least when I’m the chef)

I eat beans everyday as part of my diet and I love my instant pot! For sure the best way to cook beans!
