Hi,thank you for the comparison of the soaked vs non soaked beans. You were using the ‘FRESH’ beans instructions instead of ‘DRIED’ bean instructions if you only canned for 40 minutes instead of 75 minutes you need to reprocess for safety.

Make sure you pressure can for 75 minutes. I can dried beans but you treat them as meat. So they must go 75 minutes.

Yup. I always throw in a few jars of beans to finish filling the canner whenever I can meat. I'm doing a batch of chicken breasts right now with pintos to fill it.

Why did you pressure can pinto beans for pints for 40 because my ball book said to pressure can pints for 75 minutes?

Sge is going so many different dire tons. Who can tell. She is putting soaked a d not soaked in same pressure cooker. GOD help us all

Like you I would have the rubber safety valve face out and towards me. I changed this and now have it face away from me . I saw a video where the canner told the story about when the rubber safety valve failed and narrowly missed her face. Since I've always placed the rubber safety valve to the back. Until that point I'd never thought about it.

How about adding onions and maybe a carrot to the soaked beans to give you a little more volume in the jar and those things are always good with beans. A lot of comments about the time so I won't mention it. I Like the comparison but 75 minutes is a must. I usually cheat and add some lean ham for flavor. Very small pieces.

If the grid went down and you dont have a wood stove you would need things that you could heat up quickly,and conserve fuel.

That is exactly why I spent last weekend canning the meats and veggies from my freezer!

Thanks so much for showing the difference between soaked and unsoaked

Thanks for filming this. I've only done the non-soaked method, but wondered if what the texture of soaked would be. Looks like they are roughly the same.

You should review your dry bean canning process. 40 minutes canning time is incorrect. It should be 75 minutes for pints. If you re-processed the batch or you misspoke, you should tell your viewers. Otherwise, newbies who are not as knowledgeable may follow your incorrect process.

Thank you! New subbie here. Take care

You bet!

I thought the reason to soak is the enzyme that causes bloating.

Have you noticed a difference between the 2 once the jar is opened for serving? I moved from a low altitude 30 years ago to a high altitude and no matter how long I cook them or pressure cook them, unsoaked beans don't get done in the middle.

I tried canellini beans both ways and the soaked ones exploded into mush. They were so bad I only blend them up to thicken soups. 😢

Great information! Thanks for the video. I've been wanting to do this for a while but wasn't sure what to do. 👍

I was hoping for a taste and texture comparison.

Then sat looking at the canner for a half hour thinking do I really want to try canning, Freezing so much easier. However, after watching several channels on ytube demonstrating canning procedure, got up the courage and went for it. So glad I did. Never looking back, Nor will you. It is so satisfying.

There's no difference of texture between the two methods. If you have time, soak the night before, if not same day canning is possible. I learned from Charles Hancock @ Old Alabama Gardner on soak or no soak . Wish he was still with us. RIP 💕

How are you canning on a glass top stove,l have a canner like yours,and a glassstop stove,l was told not to can on it. So my canner has been sitting in the box for 2 years,lm afraid l couldnt keep the pressure steady,without it dropping below the 10. Lb of pressure,,how do you manage that,as my eye is always cutting off and on. L

Hi there! I've been canning on a glasstop stove for about 5 years now. I don't have any problems with my pressure going down at all. Yes the eye cuts on and off, but that's what helps regulate the heat. So if I start on HI, by the time I'm at pressure I turn the stove down to about 3 and keep a watchful eye on the pressure. So get your canner out and get some canning done!😀

The recipe you're referencing is for FRESH, not dried beans! Also, have you had your gauge tested? It didn't look like it was at "0" when you started.

If dried beans already have a long shelf life why would you can them?

So it is like opening a can of cooked beans?

Why can dry beans? With modern-day cooking methods, beans and other dried seeds will cook quickly. I keep my beans in a dry container and when I cook beans I clean, rinse and put them in a pot of water to cook, I use a crock pot 6 hrs, open boil pot 3 to 4 hours or my favorite pressure cook 45 minutes. I don't use my intantpot because the heat up time, cook time, and vent time is longer than pressure cooker on the stove. Even for a prepper it a waste of time, space and safety of the food to can pinto beans. If you have to resort to wood stove or campfire cooking then yes you soak your beans first.

@connormcgrath6476

Difference of opinion-meal prep time is much shorter if you cook meat and veg in a frying pan and then just dump already cooked beans from your canning jar into mix for chili/soup/stew. A can of pinto beans already cooked at grocery store is $1.50-$2.00. A jar done at home is 23¢ per jar. Time cost for canning is divided across all jars in the run. My experience has been that I can jars when I have time and use my pantry as a “time storage” buffer. I do not always have time in afternoon to start a 1-3 hour process to cook beans from dry for one meal. End up resorting to other ingredients for the meal. However, I want beans in my menus because they are one of the healthiest foods out there.

Thank you for sharing We’re retired and work full time on our homestead. After being outside caring for chickens and an acre of food we grow to sell at the farmers market I’m tired at the end of the day. It’s easy to grab a jar of beans, chicken stock (which I can) and pork or chicken that’s canned up and make a quick taco/ burrito or enchilada meal. Besides the convenience I save a lot of money too as mentioned above. If we have to leave town or decide to take a couple days off, Kody and grandma have food so they can throw together a meal.

I wish ;you had opened and tasted then and could report on texture or mushiness.
