QUICK INSTANT POT® BAKED BEANS
I converted my mum's amazing baked bean recipe for the Instant Pot®. I normally have to wait for over 40 minutes as it cooks in the oven, but I love it so much I converted the recipe to cook in the Instant Pot!

Steps:
- Turn on a multi-functional pressure cooker (such as Instant Pot®) and select Saute function. Add bacon and cook until browned and crispy but not burned, about 6 minutes. Transfer bacon to a baking sheet lined with paper towels. Allow grease to drain.
- Pour off some liquid from the beans, clearing at least 1 inch from the top of the can, but leaving some liquid. Add beans and remaining liquid, ketchup, brown sugar, and mustard to the Instant Pot®. Mix in bacon. Close and lock the lid. Select high pressure according to manufacturer's instructions; set timer for 3 minutes. Allow 10 to 15 minutes for pressure to build.
- Release pressure carefully using the quick-release method according to manufacturer's instructions, about 5 minutes. Unlock and remove the lid.

QUICK BOSTON BAKED BEANS
From Australian Super Food Ideas May 2007. Low GI, great breakfast or brunch or light supper. They recommend to make a double batch and freeze for later use eg as jacket potato topping. 9th November 2008 UPDATE made this today and have made changes to timing and serving size, I have upped to 5 serves based on that I got 5 cups of 250ml, weighing 200gram each. I've increased the prep time but then my knife skills are slow especially on a day of pain. UPDATE June 2010 - To make vegetarian omit the bacon and if you want try other canned beans (though white light coloured ones work best) and herbs. You could use dried beans but you would need to cook these first which doesn't make the recipe quick but very cheap to make.

Tips:
- Choose the right beans: Different types of beans have different cooking times and flavors. For this recipe, pinto beans, black beans, or kidney beans are all good choices.
- Soak the beans overnight: This will help to soften the beans and reduce their cooking time. If you don't have time to soak the beans overnight, you can quick-soak them by boiling them for 1 minute and then letting them sit in the hot water for 1 hour.
- Use a flavorful cooking liquid: The cooking liquid is what will flavor the beans, so it's important to use something flavorful. Chicken broth, vegetable broth, or water with spices are all good options.
- Add seasonings: Be sure to season the beans well with salt, pepper, and other spices. This will help to bring out their flavor.
- Cook the beans until they are tender: The beans should be cooked until they are tender but still hold their shape. This will usually take about 1 hour.
