Instant Pot Red Beans- w/ pics

Decided to give the new Instant Pot a shot at the Monday red beans. They turned out pretty damn good. See below.

First I used the Saute function to cook down some store bought trinity.



I did soak my beans beginning in the morning for about 8 hours. I added the beans, a ham hock, 3 bay leaves, some red and black pepper, garlic powder and worceister to the pot. Then added some chicken broth and some water to cover the beans.





I set the pressure cooker for 1 hour. The beans were cooked after only 1 hour. This is how the looked when i opened the cooker.



I took the bay leaves and hamhock out and took some meat from the hamhock. I browned some andouille on the stove and added the ham and sausage back to the pot. I changed the setting to saute and cooked the beans down for a few minutes.




Finished product. I did not taste any real difference in this method of cooking my red beans.
