I'm a vegetarian so I've been cooking beans for decades and this is BY FAR the best, most detailed information on cooking beans I've found. Thank you so much! I hope you will consider offering some online classes in the future. I'd love to study with you but I'm in California.

FANTASTIC! I can't say enough how great this video is. The most sensible, detailed, dedicated cooking vodeo of any kind I've ever seen on YT!

I LOVE that you are examining all of the science behind this. Yes yes yes. We are done with recipes based on how grandpa used to do it. Let's use our brains a little! This is a wonderful tutorial

I cook dry beans almost every week. I had no idea that people find it so difficult to make. But, as always I learned so many new things. Thank you, Helen.

should i soak my red beans overnight and the nextday boiled it for 5 mins and then is it safe to eat?

Graat video, Helen. I enjoy your videos because you address general concepts in addition to providing a mission-specific recipe. The ‘bean jeans’ is a valid and logical analogy, and I have never thought to listen for the sound of a partially hydrated bean compared to a fully dehydrated bean.

I just wanted to know how to cook my dry beans, now I have a degree in beans

You just solved about a half dozen of my bean problems. I was going to ask a question but since you've been asked it a thousand times before...and I did my homework...I won't. Love your channel!

I cooked beans your way the last 3 months, and it works sooooo well. I wonder I never saw this anywhere else, soaking in salted water and then cooking without. Thanks a lot!

I read about brining beans in Cook's Illustrated many years ago. Glad it worked well for you.

I love how you explain why you do everything. If I know why something is done, it makes it easier to remember. Thank you.

I love 💘 Helen and your beans when you were presenting the beans at the end I could feel like mouth watering delicious thanks for the video.

According to Google University: Water: 2 cups = 500 grams 4 cups = 1000 grams 6 cups = 1500 grams Kosher Salt: 45 grams = 2.5 tablespoons For 4 cups of water a 3% solution would require 30 grams of kosher salt or 1.67 tablespoons 1 pound of beans is two cups. Like Helen wrote, volume can vary so a high quality food scale is your best bet. I've been soaking 2 cups of beans in 4 cups of water. I will try 6 cups and see if I get better results.

This is the 2nd video I've watched on your channel and have become a subscriber. Ever so eloquently , just Lovely. Thank you for sharing your content .

I was like 9mins of how to cook beans but glad I watched your video. I have learnt a lot especially about soaking in salted water. You are a very goid teacher too thanks 😊

After a lifetime of eating pinto beans my Dad switched to mayocopa beans in his old age. Years later I bot some to try but didn’t get around to trying for couple years! 🤣😂Even tho they were old they cooked up soft in less than three hours (without soaking) compared to fresh pintos taking up to 6. So now I think I know why he switched! I prefer the taste of pintos tho, like I grew up on. My Mom never soaked pintos but she knew how to select new crop beans and taught my daughter who also cooks them for 6 hours. I would like to try soaking to cut down on cooking time. I love a bowl of super soft beans in their bean broth. We call them “beans de la oja” - “beans from the pot” as opposed to refried beans. Thank you so much for sharing the love of beans! 😍

That is the most intelligent and precise how to cook beans on youtube. And a charming presentation too.

Thanks for the video, I think I might cut back on my meal plan in college some next year and replace a lot of my diet with beans and rice.

+Arawak I can't reply to your comment directly because your youtube settings don't allow it. "Overnight" means at least 8 hours, though I usually try to do 12. How long to cook depends on the bean type. That info is in the video and in the link below the video.

for how long do you soak your beans over night and how long does it take to cook? (dry beans)

thank you for the good information

You are so professional.

You may or may not know the answer to this question. I live in Colorado at 7200', I know to increase cooking time. However do I increase the amount of water or liquid? Further, I am looking at a new pressure cooker. I am looking at the Fagor Duo vs. Fagor Splendid. The difference between the 2 is that the Duo has both 15psi & 8psi, the Splendid only 15psi. The price difference is quite large. In addition the Splendid doesn't come in an 8 qt size, only 6 and 10 qrt. For me 6 would be too small, if storage is not an issue is there any reason not to get the 10 qrt size?

Great info , thnx so much

Hi Helen, Your video is so helpful! I have a 1 year old baby who LOVES beans of all kinds, but for the small amount he eats, I would not get through a pound even in a week. Do you have a suggestion on the best way to freeze cooked beans in small portions, and how to best use cooked frozen beans to be re heated? Thanks!!

@helenrennie

7 жыл бұрын

in the end of this video, I give you instructions on freezing. You can separate your beans into many small bags so that you defrost just what you need. Once they are defrosted, they are exactly the same as before freezing, so use in anything you want: soups, stews, salads, etc.

I just tested this recipe with some chickpeas, at first I was skeptical. No peppercorns? Salt? Where's the bay leaf? Should I add a carrot and an onion to it? Then I decided to follow your recipe to the letter, and I am so glad that I did. Originally I wanted to use the chickpeas for falafel but they were so tender and delicious i ate half of them plain.

@helenrennie

Marc Latorre Congrats on perfect chickpeas! You are welcome to use a carrot, bay leaf and all that jazz. Sometimes I do, and sometimes I don't bother. Most of the time, my beans go into some other dish after they are cooked (soup, stew, etc), so they'll have plenty of chances to get flavored.

Cool Beans

You are spot on gorgeous! Great job!

Thank you I loved your video

do I need to store the cooked beans in the freezer or in the fridge?

do I really have to keep them in the refrigerator for a week?

Cool beans!

Top top jeans haha, great video as always.

I use my stove top pressure cooker and cook for 50 mins with natural release but I do not soak them and they come out good. It is the easiest way I know. Just make sure and pick out rocks and other bits and rinse well regardless of cooking method.

In Syria we replace onion with garlic and we add lemon juice and olive oil

Are you a chemist or chemical engineer by any chance? You used some chemistry concepts in here 😊

After soaking, dump the salted water and discard. Rinse the beans in a colander. Place in a pot with cold unsalted water and cook.

on the east coast it's in all supermarkets except for Whole Foods. I hear it might be harder to find in some states. I would go to Diamond Crystal Kosher website and they probably list where to buy it in different areas. Any restaurant supply store will have it. I wouldn't be surprised if you could call DCK and ask.

Ruple Thaker Yes, you can use a regular pan. Bring to a boil, turn down the heat so that the liquid barely simmers (don't boil or they'll break up!) and cook UNCOVERED until soft. The time varies depending on the variety. Since some liquid evaporate as you cook, you might need to add more boiling water during the cooking process.

Noooo stop eating! You're tempting my buds. I love beans so much i eat beans 3 times a week. My grandchildren have also fallen in love with beans. When soaking overnight i first select by chance there are small stones and wash it after a 5 minutes soak. Then i soak overnight. That same water i use to boil the beans so i don't loose some nutrients if i throw away the overnight soaking water. Thanks i didn't know about adding salt during soaking.

Did you try dry beans in the tray? BELIEVE VERY BEAUTIFUL.
