      Yes, you can use canned beans. In that case you do not have to pressure cook. Just simmer and cook well. Follow the same recipe.

    May I soak the butter beans and pressure cook it separately instead of pressure cooking the whole thing? Because I don't know whether it is fresh or frozen.i bought as a packet.
