Choose the bean/chili button and add 15 minutes for a total of 45 minutes of cooking time. Or use the manual setting, 45 minutes.
When the beans have finished cooking, let the pressure drop naturally for about 20 to 25 minutes and then release the steam vent.
Beans have finished cooking
Place a colander or large sieve over a large bowl and drain the beans. Set the liquids aside.
Drai the beans
Put the beans in another bowl or put them in the empty pot. Puree them with an immersion blender. Add some of the reserved liquids, as needed for the desired consistency.

Tips
An alternative to the immersion blender is a standing blender. If you choose to use the blender, let the beans cool slightly before blending.
Refrigerate the refried beans for up to 3 days or freeze them in freezer bags or containers in single-serving-size or meal-size portions for longer storage.
