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)

Pressure Cooking Ham Hocks and Dry Lima Beans
by: Soul Food Chef

Tyrone, thanks for asking the question about cooking ham hocks and dry Lima beans in a pressure cooker. I only have experience cooking ham hocks and not the Lima Beans. I was once told that cooking dry beans inside of a pressure cooker was not a smart idea. If anyone else know anything about cooking dry beans in a pressure cooker please post a response here.
