Combine black beans with all of the ingredients except for the cornstarch (or arrow root powder) into the 8 qt unit.

Rotate the valve below the knob to open and cook on medium heat. When the valve whistles, reduce the heat to medium-low heat for 1 hour or until done.

When finished, combine the cornstarch (or arrow root powder) in a small glass with 2 tbsp water. Pour into the beans, increase the heat and cook until thickened.
***Note: If beans are not thick enough add more cornstarch (or arrow root) to the mixture.
