4. peek-a-boo from time to time, stir, and make sure the sauce is bubbling gently. Adjust heat accordingly.

> Do it in an [Instant Pot](Instant-Pot.md)! It saves time and energy, and you’re more spontaneous. I go for `High pressure`, and depending on the age of the beans and your desired softness, I go from 20–60 minutes. The 60′ are really only fitting for my years-old dried beans I forgot about and don’t want to throw away.
> Also I experienced the beans becoming bitter when I throw in the “green” seasonings, i.e., thyme and oregano, right at the start. Add them at the end and reheat briefly.
> People often soak overnight to reduce the overall cooking time and therefore also the energy cost, which is a legitimate desire.
> I don’t usually do this due to the lack of spontaneity.
> In any case, I wouldn’t throw away the soaking water because I think it contains lots of tasty aromatics already.
