Should You Rinse Canned Cannellini Beans?

If you’re like me, you’ve probably wondered whether or not to rinse canned cannellini beans before using them in your recipes. It’s a tricky question, really. On one hand, rinsing your beans can help remove any excess salt or preservatives that were used during the canning process.

On the other hand, if you rinse your beans too vigorously, you may damage their delicate texture and lose some of their flavor. At the end of the day, I think it all comes down to personal preference. If you like a more mild and creamy bean flavor, go ahead and give them a wash. But if you’re looking for a richer, nuttier flavor, leave them as is and let their natural flavor shine through.

How Do You Cook Dry Cannellini Beans in the Instant Pot?

If you love beans as much as I do, then you’re in luck because I have a foolproof way of cooking dry cannellini beans in the Instant Pot. This method will save you time and effort, and give you perfectly cooked beans every time. First, rinse the beans and pick out any debris.

Then, add them to the Instant Pot along with enough water to fully submerge them. Add a pinch of salt and any aromatics you like, such as garlic or bay leaves. Set the Instant Pot to high pressure for 30-40 minutes. Once the time is up, let the pressure release naturally for 10 minutes before opening the lid. Drain the beans and serve with your favorite toppings, or use them in any recipe that calls for cooked cannellini beans. Happy cooking!

    I love doing anything in/on the water, like swimming, snorkeling, kayaking and tubing. Any body of water, it doesn’t matter if it is a pool, the ocean, a river, or the springs.
