Instant Pot Southern Limas with Ham Hocks

If you do soak them, or use canned beans, you can cut the cooking time in half, though the ham hock will not get soft enough in that short amount of time.
I would start the ham hock cooking in some water, for about 10 minutes, then cook the rest of the dish, adding the ham hock back in.
