Sep 21, 2017 Rating How I Cook My Pot Of Lima Beans by: Anonymous I prefer bacon and use 2/3 cup chicken Broth 1/3 cup water, an onion and 1 tablespoon sugar. I brine beans is salt water the night before. I disagree about cooking in salt, watch out because chicken broth does have salt...and ham hocks can be salty too, all of which can stop the beans from cooking properly, especially if you soak them in salt water. I prefer cooking food with salt vs. adding in salt later. Just my preference.

Jan 04, 2012 Rating Cooking Dry Beans by: Big Al Man don't know why someone would say cooking dry beans in a pressure pot is not a good idea. I have been doing it for 30 years and just fixed a big pot last week. I look and wash my beans the night before and soak them in water overnight. I check them in the morning and add water if needed. When I am ready I put a small amount of oil in the bottom of pot, drop in my ham hocks, fat back, streaky meat, or whatever pork I am using and roll it around and brown it a little and suck out some of that good flavor. Then I add my beans what ever kind I have a liken for and fill up with water about 1 inch above the beans. When she starts a jiggling I cook the beans from 10 to 15 minutes cut off the heat and let them set until the pressure goes off or until the corn bread is done. Let off the steam, salt and pepper to taste stir em up good and chow down!

Apr 25, 2011 Rating Best Ham Hocks and Dry Lima Beans by: Tom in Oregon Place your ham hocks and dry beans in pressure cooker, add 1/2 of chopped onion, fill with water to cover beans and all, do not add salt. Cook over medium heat until pressure starts sputtering the valve thing, turn off heat, remove cooker from heat let set at least 30 minutes. When you can open the cooker add a cube of butter, let set till butter is all melted and serve up some ham hocks & Lima beans. This was my mothers way to do and it has worked for me for years, and I'm an old redneck.

Nov 13, 2010 Rating Pressure cooker beans by: John j c Dried beans are a snap in the pressure cooker. Just wash and sort your beans and add them to the pot. 4 cups of water and 4 tsp. of oil to the pot for every pound of beans. DO NOT ADD SALT because that will prevent them from cooking. Pressure cook for 20 to 25 minutes and let cooker cool on it's own and you will have perfect beans.

Feb 07, 2009 Rating Ham Hocks and Dry Lima Beans by: Anonymous Soak the beans for at least 8 hours or overnight. Put beans, ham hocks and water (2 inches above the beans) in pressure cooker, bring to pressure for 3 to 4 minutes and natural release. Because Lima bean skins can become loose and float you will have to put a thin layer of oil (bacon grease will work) and a rack on top of the beans. ( You may like the beans cooked a little longer and I always cook the hock in pressure cooker about 5 minutes before adding beans)
