When I cook my white limas I still go back for Ole Times watching this Sweet Lady and say again "Thanks for the Memories Phyllis" I know you are cooking in Heaven.

Thank you for watching my video on lima beans. I just pick off the skins that come lose on their own and leave the rest. Cooking them on just simmer should keep the skins on otherwise you'll just have a cream type soup. Remember the package the beans come in says to cook them on low, usually. I love lima beans they are my favorite dried bean and have as much protein as peanut butter. Hope this helps, Phyllis

I come here EVERYTIME i cook beans, thank u sister

Thanks so much for this simple recipe. My mom used to cook these Lima Beans, she called them "Butter Beans" when I was a child and I loved them so much. Recently I was looking for a way to cook them without the meat she used to use. I've cooked them many times and jazzed them up with onion, garlic, seasoning salt, Mrs Dash etc only to not like them that way. The other day I threw some Butter Beans in a crock pot and added a dash of seasoning salt. I loved them! It seems for me, this bean tastes better when it is cooked in a simple manner.

Very good method and well done. My Bigmama would add a pinch of baking soda like you did, help with gas, but now I realize it was for softening, too. My grandparents and parents grew up poor in the south. But they ate very good dishes. We ate the limas OVER rice, plenty of gravy and a great side dish ! Thanks.

Really liked your comment. If you only knew how much I missed eating fried fatback with these lima beans. I can taste it now sooooo good. If I ate like that now I would be as big as the side of the barn. You really do get use to not using meat to season vegetables. It was really hard to make the switch to more healthy seasoning, we made that switch about 20 years ago but I still would love to have a piece of fried fatback inside a hot biscuit. Thanks so much for watching and commenting.

Miss you Phyllis. ❤

Thank you Miss Phyllis. I have been trying to figure out how to cook the beans without having so much gas on them. I love all beans .. at least all the ones I've tried. I grew up with my grandparents and I grew up on beans , taters, cornbread etc. I'm gonna get back to eating like that. God bless you and your family.

we miss you lady R.I.P.

great beans.. my grandfather used to make them like that brought back a lot of good memories thank you

Thanks Phyllis, I am putting these on this rainy morning in Mobile. Yumm Have a wonderful weekend!

Thank goodness this video is still up. This is just what I was looking for

Thanks -great video. It really helped me to understand how to manage these beans. I had a couple of disasters and almost gave up but after seeing this video I tried again and am so happy they came out ok with your method. And it's easy. thanks again

RIP dear Phyllis. I'm making lima beans today.

Thanks Phyllis, my sister just dropped off a bag of dry lima beans. I wondered how to turn it into food. That looks pretty good.

Wonderful instructions and great meal combination!! Thanks.

Very helpful and instructive. I've never cooked lima beans ( or butter beans) . Going to give it a try - thanks.

Great video and commentary. I was a afraid to make this but your video is pretty much straight forward. Thank you

In Texas we call them butter beans. Enjoy your videos.

Thank you so much Phyllis! Love the baking soda tip. Do you have a recipe book out yet?

Thank you for nice explanation of all the aspects of cooking Lima beans.

That meal looks delicious

Thanks, Phyllis, didn't how to prepare them to be gasless. Had no idea. I think the Butter bean aka the large lima bean is the most delicious bean in the world. I just love a little real butter and soul food seasoning on a bowl full.

That's why I've been gassy all my life from eating not rinsed beans???

Hi Mrs. stokes Would you have a Lima bean soup recipe? if so can you make a video of “how to”. I’ve made lots of your recipes and they all have been “perfection”!.

Grasias. Me. Ayudo mucho nunca avía preparado. El frijol así. Mil gracias. 🙏🏻🙏🏻

Thank you Phyllis! I am comfortable cooking other dried beans, but I ran into an issue with Lima beans busting open and wrinkling when I soaked them overnight. Thank you for the baking soda and double rinsing tip. I'm about to try your method.

super superanted super i love this video lima beans are my favorite as well always wanted to learn how to cook them and i think this will help ty

great tip! baking soda! wow!never knew that! my pinto beans never got cooked soft.but then i had salted it first! quick boil method,that i did not know either.I was told i have to pre soak dried beans overnite.I fairhfully followed that with my pinto beans still was not soft.Will baking soda work on any dried beans maam? I love lima beans.I was buying frozen ones.Now i will try dried ones.They look so creamy.Thankyou maam for showing us how to cook dried bean.

Does the skin suppose to come off while soaking?

Can't we pressure cook it, instead of boiling?

dos it hurt if you can soak them the night before? i was awalys told you have to soak beans the night before. i was just not to sure if you could.

Thank you so much. I bought some Lima beans and didn't know how to cook them.

I'm finding that if I soak the dried beans (peas, rice, any other dried agricultural product) overnight or for a day, rinse them, then boil them on high heat for about an hour they cook in about an hour.

Thank you so much! Looking forward to meeting you in heaven. I've used your method on beans and it works so well! Taste and otherwise 😆

Trying your way Phyllis >>>>While my lima's were soaking/simmering after the 2 minute boil ....in another pot on medium I cooked in water ....sliced carrots, onion, celery and diced ham. I also added large pieces of Ham Salt back for flavoring ....so good!!! Question, do you have to rinse limas after the second simmering to get the baking soda out!! Tonight, I suppose I will rinse limas again ....and then add the above veggies and the broth (removed Salt back pieces). I plan to simmer all for another hour until limas really soften and make a little bean gravy!

I think they are all in the lima bean family. Here in the South we call small green lima beans - butter beans, we also have speckled butter beans (my personal favorite if they are cooked fresh).

THANK U ...IM COOKING 4 MY GMA😍😍😍

I live in Cambodia and I found Australian lima beans in a supermarket and I decided to buy them. I soaked them overnight (maybe too long) but the peel started to come off by itself. Is that normal? I'm going to boil them next and then cook them with onions and potatoes...

@PhyllisStokes

6 жыл бұрын

The peeling or shell does tend to come off the large Lima beans. I actually like it when some of the shells come off because it gives the beans a lot of thickness. Some of the shells are going to always come off so no problem. You do have to be careful and watch the beans when cooking them because they can burn on the bottom of the pot because of the thickness. Those shells that come off can be picked out and thrown away.

There's a newer video you made on how to cook pinto beans where you boiled and rinsed them three times before you cooked them. Should I do that for lima beans? I've found a warning online about lima beans beans being toxic if they're not cooked correctly and different instructions on how to cook them and confused now how to cook them. LOL

I only use the 3 boil technique on pinto beans, we don't seem to have a problem with any other type beans. I boil the Lima beans then let them sit in the water for about an hour, pour off that water and use fresh water to boil till tender. Can't imagine Lima beans being toxic in anyway.

sythlorde canola oil/vegetable/soybean oil is very bad for your health...please give it up. Use coconut oil, palm oil, organic lard/tallow (in some case olive oil if you are cooking at low heat). Eat like your mom and grandma use to eat! Remember there were no fat people in the 1920's 30's... Obesity and heart attacks started after corporations begin to use soybean oil/vegetable oil rather than coconut oil and lard.
