How to cook deliciously - Instant Pot Baked Beans

1. Stage

Sort the beans to remove any broken beans, as well as debris and dirt. Rinse the beans in a colander, then place them in a 6-quart electric pressure cooker.

2. Stage

Add the ham hocks, water and onion, plus 1 teaspoon each of the garlic powder and onion powder. Lock the cooker lid and close its pressure-release valve, then set the cooker to "high" and cook for 30 minutes. Let the pressure release naturally for 10 minutes, then quick-release any remaining pressure.

3. Stage

Remove the ham hocks, cutting the meat into small cubes once it cools. Place the cubed meat back into the pressure cooker. Discard the bones.

4. Stage

Stir in the barbecue sauce, brown sugar, nutmeg, cloves, remaining garlic and onion powders, and the hot sauce, if desired. Lock the cooker lid and close the pressure-release valve, then cook on a high setting for three minutes. Let the pressure release naturally for five minutes, then quick-release any remaining pressure. Editor's Tip: If you're not sure about adding hot sauce, wait until the recipe is finished, taste the dish as is, then stir in just a few drops of hot sauce at a time, if you feel the beans need it. Some barbecue sauces already taste spicy, so there may be no need to spice up the beans with more hot sauce.
