Hi Sweet Friends, Today I am sharing some valuable information on how to cook dried beans - any type of dried beans (see special note for kidney beans below) - the right way to maximize their nutrient value. This is a very basic recipe to make the bean as versatile as possible to be used in any type of recipe. Hope you find this interesting. Plus, I share my favorite tip for how to season beans with salt without extending the cooking time or making the skins tough. If you would like to learn more about beans - and how to sprout them...if you are feeling adventurous...be sure to check out this video: kzread.info/dash/bejne/nqWaq6qtXbbQips.html When you cook kidney beans, bring the water up to a boil and boil them for 10-15 minutes, then turn the heat down to a simmer and cook until tender. And to learn more about how to soak and sprout grains, nuts, and legumes be sure to check out this playlist: kzread.info/head/PLkRuW3pBo2U3cAWMjVynt_rIRnWoWCCqN Love, Mary

Mary, I am 79 years old, and back in the late 40’s, - early 50’s, my mom would sort her beans before washing.... meaning she would let the beans pour slowly through her hand, looking for debris, such as rocks, prior to washing. She felt it easier to spot rocks and other unwanted trash while they were still dry. This was the method her mom taught her to use, to keep trash from clinging to beans during the wash cycle, and ending up in the cook pot. It takes a little extra time, but worth it in the end.

I do it this way too. That's how my mom taught me as well. Many times, this would be my job to do for my mom to have them ready for her when she came home from work.

My family is from Mexico. For a soup style… I like to season using a less salt with a onion, garlic cloves, chicken bullion cube, cumin powder, crushed dried oregano, pepper and a bay leaf. (Remove bay leaf when done.) You can top with cilantro, sliced avocado or sour cream. Serve with buttered tortilla or mini quesadilla’s. 🥰 My cousin from Mexico teases me because I grew up in the US and she can’t understand why her gringa cousin makes better beans than hers. 😂 🇲🇽❤️🇺🇸

I tried a ham hock, not impressed. I buy cheap, bulk bacon, fry it in my stock pot. I cut the bacon into small pieces as it is frying and when most of the fat is cooked out I put a diced onion into the pot with it. After the onion is sauteed I add some minced garlic. Then after a few minutes I dump my soaked beans into the pot and then add the chicken stock. I get it boiling and then simmer until the beans are tender. My wife is allergic to red beans so I cook white beans, Lima beans, or black eyed peas. I also grow purple hulled peas in my garden, those were so good we hurt ourselves gorging on them.

I agree. Wonderfully happy and calming voice Mary!

If I want to make the beans the same day I rinse and cull the beans. Then I cover with cold water, bring to a boil and boil for 5 minutes. I turn off the heat and let them sit for 1 hour. I rinse the beans after the hour and then simmer until done. I do not add any salt until the beans are about 1/2 hour before being done. By the way, this process make the beans gas’s less. I’ve cooked all sorts of beans this way for 60 years and my family has never had gas issues from my bean dishes.. Thank you for sharing all of your videos, I enjoy them a lot❣️❣️

The beans she cooked are awesome and right on about the lectins. However, there is another reason to keep cooking beans much much longer. Much like cooking a roast longer. The longer they cook they soften, turn darker and thicken, making an incredibly delicious thick broth that is heavenly, especially when eaten with white bread or even better, fresh baked cornbread. This completes the protein profile. NEXT-Keep cooking and you soften beans even more into a soft paste that when lard 🙀 yes, lard, you get absolutely the best refried beans. Try it.

We cook pinto beans on average of two times per week. We never soak and we most definitely never pour off the soup. I will take a coffee cup and scoop me out a cup of bean soup (hot). Can't beat it. I am going to try the soaking though. Gas has never been an issue with us and our beans......Really love your videos. So informative, and nothing is left unsaid. My mom, back in the hills of Eastern Kentucky would save the leftover beans and fry them for breakfast with a little grease and pinch of sugar.

@@tonyz6421 I was raise as a vegetarian from birth/being weaned. Although I chose to begin eating some meat when I was 9. Even though meat has never become a major component of my daily diet, ice never found any trusted, compelling evidence that indicates that the flesh of animals is inherently unhealthy. In fact, there is a great deal of evidence that meat has been part of virtually all human's diets throughout our history, and that it is a nutrient dense food. However, it is absolutely possible (and not difficult) to meet all of one's nutritional needs without meat in many regions & climate zones; although in areas with extreme climates it is much less likely that humans will be able to find/forage or cultivate enough plant-based food to satisfy their nutritional needs throughout the year. However, the foods & diet of most humans has changed drastically in a myriad of ways over the last 200 years; but especially during the last 40-80 years (depending on the location of the population). Virtually everything about the meat that we eat has changed so profoundly that it does seem clear that we need to carefully consider & evaluate whether this meat should be such a significant proportion of our diet. For one thing, for economic reasons we have also radically changed the diet of the animals we raise for meat. Most of those animals are not healthy when slaughtered if ever in their lives. Many do not even survive without medications & intervention anything near their natural lifespan. This is not only because of the diets we feed them but also because of the deplorable unsanitary and inhumane conditions in which they are raised, slaughtered & processed. And this days nothing of all the consequences this has on the ecosystems & environment. Not only is quantity of meat consumed by the average American impossible to produce for every human on earth, it is not sustainable for more than 50 more years at most! The number & significance of reasons NOT to eat meat, or to at least significantly reduce consumption completely outnumber and outweigh the reasons TO eat meat, especially in such quantities, by a huge amount. The advice to "eat your meat" is ignorant and careless at best!

Thank you. Such information is a lost art that women like you are bringing back.

Now I want some beans.

I like chopped onions, pinto bean seasoning, ham, black pepper, salt, and a touch of real butter in mine. I think I’ll allow mine to soak 48 hours and see if that helps to prevent stomach issues. That was a helpful idea. This lady needs her own cooking show. I really appreciate how she showed us the firmness of the beans by smashing them with a fork. That’s such a helpful way to teach the art of cooking. I don’t like mushy beans, so mine are a little firmer the first evening. After reheating leftovers the next 1-2 evenings, they’re perfect. I might add chicken bullion cubes, as chicken broth was suggested by a viewer. I appreciate how gave us pros vs cons of soaking. Very interesting indeed, as I prefer knowing the nutritional side of the process. After all, God’s main goal of providing us with different types of food is to nourish our bodies; however, I just love to eat good cooking. The idea that people who love to eat must have mental issues isn’t something with which I agree. The best conversations and laughter happen at the meal table. It should always be pleasant and not a way to attack a trapped audience. Have you ever noticed that no matter how good of a cook you are, the food always tastes better if someone else makes it? ¡Bon appetite! Thank you 🙏🏻

This is my first time here. I love her voice. It’s so relaxing.

This is the perfect beans that came to me by my sweet mama and to her by her sweet aunt Effie 💕 but prepare the beans like you see here and season like you see here or while they're cooking, EXCEPT ,,,,, ADD 1 TABLESPOON OF SALT AND 1 TABLESPOON OF SUGAR PER POUND OF BEANS AND ADD A PIECE OF PORK FAT OR MY FAVORITE JUST POUR IN A TABLESPOON OR TWO OF OLIVE OIL ( I can't tell any difference) AND LEAVE THE JUICE OR THE SOUP , THAT SOUP MAKES IT REAL GOOD WHEN YOU PUT YOUR CORNBREAD IN IT but try it and you'll see that these taste 1,000 percent better and not like most people's beans (kinda bland) and my mama thanks you and my great aunt would thank you too.

I now cook my beans as they instruct by America's Test Kitchen. So tender and tasty.

Awesome. Here is another Southern African way to cook pinto beans....When the beans are almost cooked I add in all the seasoning and cooking oil, chopped onions and tomatoes then let it simmer until the tomatoes are cooked (can use fresh blended tomatoes).😋

I came here in search of an answer to the question: to soak, or not to soak. You definitely convinced me to soak. I haven't cooked dried beans in decades, but I've decided I want more control over what goes into my meals, and the ridiculous amount of sodium they add to canned beans (and many other processed foods) has to go! Thank you for sharing your knowledge.

@ CotizenKate- For those who say not to soak them over night, the soaking removes the gassiness that beans cause. If you eat beans very often, then your GI system is more accustomed to them and can digest them more easily without the gas problem. I m a Cajun who cooks a lot of red beans and rice and I always soak my beans. And the more often you drain and replace the water while soaking, the less gas is produced from what I am told. I try to drain and replace the soaking water at least once maybe twice during the 24 hour soaking time. We all agree it makes a difference. My kids don’t have any issues at school the next day if you know what I mean.

with the high price of meat in the market today, I am thankful I love dried beans that are so much easier to store, cook, eat and then serve as leftovers even freeze to place in other dishes - nothing like beans and cornbread smothered with butter and honey - one complete meal

If you want them to taste like your local mexican food dive, just add a big chunk of lard while simmering them down to a more mushy texture. I use olive oil instead but lard makes them so tasty. Have cooked beans 100s of times but was interesting learning about the science of soaking and phytic acid.

I’m thankful you show us beginner cooks exactly how things should look when cooking. Helps me understand!

I live in a high altitude…learned a great trick from my Mom to get a soft soupy bean…start in ice cold water add ice as water is needed as water evaporates…it worked and beans cooked quicker.

@9:21 You have no idea how much I appreciated that, I understand almost zero cooking lingo, the only simmering i've done is simmering down.

OMG, my Mexican friends are cringing knowing you drain your beans after cooking. Mexicans and Mexican-Americans love the bean broth. Beans eaten whole in the broth is called Frijoles de la Olla. The broth is sometimes eaten without the beans or drank in a cup. Beans are always stored in the broth. I assumed everyone stored them that way.🤔 BTW, I always enjoy your videos.

hate to be the bearer of bad news but if youre cooking kidney beans it can be dangerous to simmer them. THEY MUST be boiled at 212 degrees for at least 30 minutes to destroy the phytohemagglutinin which causes food poisoning. I dislike this video because of this.

I don't know how you could talk about cooking beans without mentioning those who add salt pork. Smoked hog jowls preferred by most old time cooks. I'll definitely try the 48 hour soak and not boil them. In winter I'll leave my beans in a Crock-Pot for days heating them daily and they get better every day. I'll put a mixer in them when they're soft for a few minutes to make a thick soupy consistency. Then serve with onions, cornbread, and buttermilk. That's how my family survived the Great Depression.

I love that you're explaining each one of the processes with science-backed information. this was extremely helpful.

Well you learn something new everyday, it never occurred to me to cook them plain and add them to other meals. DUH! Thanks Mary!

I discovered many years ago that dried beans, prepared like this, taste way, way better than canned beans. But I've never tried soaking them for 48 hours. I'll have to try that.

Best vid on bean cooking I've seen. Thank you. Very comprehensive. I'm going to soak my beans longer I think. I am also sensitive to oxalates, so hoping more soaking helps that which I think it will. I love beans and they are really good for you. Different beans have different levels of oxalates so for those who have this issue check which beans are best. (Beans can be high in oxalates.)

For years, I’ve only used a crockpot to cook my beans, split peas, or lentils. I’ve never soaked them, either. I then cook them overnight with no seasoning. After about 12 hours, they are very tender, and with a little salt, extremely tasty. I’ve eaten beans for a meal at least every other day for 20 years. I imagine I might have had trouble with digestive issues when I first started, but it’s been too long to remember!

Really glad to know. Never ate growing up, never cooked for my children. Had no idea how or what to do with them. A 30 minute simmer after they've soaked well is incredible. Want to grow next season. This takes it full circle.

In the 18th century they would soak 12 to 24 hours. Then boil/simmer and then give them a rinse to get rid of the acid. Then slow cooked them. I suppose it depends on time management. Interesting how much has not changed with the century's. It's really cool to hear the reasons why. Thank you for sharing you're very informative.

I cant believe how interesting this bean video is!!! I am a visual learner and appreciate how you produce your videos! Thank you!

This is an interesting way to cook beans, may have to try this one. I always soaked them in hot water, change the water, then cook them just plain like you. Add hot water to the pot, change the water once is boiling to get rid of the foam and prevent gas. Meanwhile we fried chopped onions, tomatoes, salt, pepper, and oregano in a frying pan then add it to the beans.

I have 2. A 6 quart, and a 3 quart. I use these all the time.

This is the most useful information I've found on the web about cooking beans. Thank you, and Pip Pip.

I regularly cook chickpeas--well, overcook them 😃--to make my own hummus due to my food allergies. There are times when I'm sorting them where I find something that isn't a chickpea. I've found black-eyed peas, corn kernels, soybeans, all kinds of things. If you're allergic or sensitive to anything, it's a good idea to watch for those as well. They usually stand out pretty easily.

I feel healthier just listening. Before this gets to long I just want to say again thanks for all your video links. Charlotte

I’ve been cooking beans for decades, but I will try this way because the longer soak time sounds like a real winner. My great-aunt always said to put the salt in at the beginning, but I will try it at the end and see if it’s better. After all, learning new ways and improving ourselves is a good thing!

Well I sort my beans first then put them in my pressure cooker. Put enough water to cover the beans about 2 inches above beans. Boil them for maybe 15 or 20 min. Pour that water off. Put clean water back in the cooker cover beans about 3 or 4 inches to cover the beans. Add the ham hock or smoked bacon. I usually put about 4 slices of bacon. Start the beans to boiling and put the lid on the cooker. When it starts spewing a little bit put the jigler on the cooker let cook for about 5. Or 10 minutes and turn the burner down some let cook for about 45 minutes. Add salt when done.

Great stuff! Lots of work went into producing these. One caveat... in my neck of the woods where temperatures sore and people don't normally keep the air conditioning on indoors all day long, 12 hours does the same thing like 24 hours further north on the planet. I have to wash and change the water after just 10 hours if I don't want fermentation and bacteria changing the taste and smell of the beans permanently. Also, be choosy when buying beans. If they've been lingering on the shelf for a year or something like that, finding out the proper cooking time becomes an adventure. Fresh beans usually have a slightly lighter color than ancient beans. I become familiar with my favorite grocery stocking routines, pouncing on fresh produce as soon as they arrive whenever I can.

Where we live in the south, we would never cook beans this way. We never soak them for 48Hrs. Also, I would always want my beans with some type of smoked meat. A ham bone would be great and bones is where we get the best collagen. Even smoked Turkey wings or smoked neck bones would be better than just the beans alone unless you are vegan. I still believe that Southern cooking is far superior.

beans do not sprout that fast, you may have had weevils

We always put in nice pieces of pork belly and white onions cut in half while cooking, just the way my great grandmother did it, also served them with some of the gravy they cooked in.

I have been cooking dried beans for years and learning from my grand mother, mother and my aunt. Also cooking the ''country'' way! Wash them, and let them soak, for about 2 hours. Then boil them to get the DARK foamy, almost 'dirty' looking water from the (first boil) from the beans. Drain in colander, and put back in the pot with about 3 inches of water over them. Add salt, and season...... OR use 2 cubes of Chicken bouillon cubes! This is perfect for those who want to cut down on fat and gives them a wonderful taste! I leaned this from a wonderful country cook who had diabetes. Cook until tender, about an hour and a half, adding water if you need to. You can test them along the way too, after about an hour of cooking to see how soft they are at that point. Also you want ''soup'' in your beans and do NOT want the water to be ''watery''.. So, boil them hard enough to make that delicious soup with your beans. A great country side is ''corn bread'' and the soup goes wonderfully with that country corn bread! So, remember you 'can' use many 'kinds' of seasoning, with your beans. Many use a ham hock, or pieces of ham. You can use bacon if you like bacon. Butter is another season, or use can use your chicken bouillon cubes, which adds so much flavor and none of the fat! I guarantee you will love cooking your own Pinto, Cranberry, (October) they are sometimes called, or any other kind of dried bean you like. Bon apatite! 🙂

loved your video - sincerely yours "CHEF TIM" your right you have to take your time. I learned that from my Father and my Brazilian Mother in Law. I Loved your method. No Waste but Awesome results!

Love your channel!! I am a cancer survivor that decided to go plant-based instead of taking drugs to prevent a recurrence. Soaking the beans longer is helpful, but if you have major gas from beans, it means you are not eating enough beans in your diet. Once your body gets used to eating more beans, it should not really be an issue. I also found out that beans are very helpful for diabetics, so eat more beans!!!

Wow, I always wondered how the beans in the soup don't get mushi, now I know, thank you, never too old to learn new things
