Can You Substitute Canned Beans for Dried Beans in Instant Pot Recipes

Question

Hello everyone,
I was going to make Cannellini Beans With Tomatoes, Basil & Parmesan, but the recipe calls for dry beans which the supermarket I go to daily doesn’t carry it. Is it possible to use canned beans instead?

Hello - This recipe was developed for using an Instant Pot, so substituting canned beans would likely not work. Canned beans are already cooked so they will be overcooked during the times suggested in the Instant Pot recipe. This recipe for White Beans with Sage, Garlic, and Fennel is similar to the recipe you noted but uses canned beans. It, too, is great so I'd give this one a try! Best, Lynn C.
