[–] Kase@lemmy.world 18 points 2 years ago (4 children) Pro tip, if you have access to a stove and several hours of free time to spare for cooking-- dry beans are super cheap! permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 8 child comments replies: [–] FabledAepitaph@lemmy.world 7 points 2 years ago It's truuuuee. I actually cooked my first pot of dry beans in a crock pot over the course of like 8 hours the other week, and it was very satisfying. permalink fedilink source parent [–] Churbleyimyam@lemm.ee 7 points 2 years ago (1 child) Extra pro tip: put them in a bowl or pan of boiling water the night before to make them cook quicker the next day. Extra extra pro tip put bicarbonate of soda in the water to make them cook quicker. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] LordArtoria@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago You can also soak them in the fridge for 24 hours to rehydrate them if you want a more passive way to prep them. permalink fedilink source parent [–] bss03@infosec.pub 4 points 2 years ago (1 child) An InstantPot (or other pressure cooker) can cut that time down quite a bit. I set mine on 40 minutes, but it takes a little while to get up to temp/pressure at the start and at least 15 minutes to slow/natural release the pressure at the end. Still, dry beans to food in about an hour is great! Also much easier to control your sodium intake, it that's a concern. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] Wh33lz@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago Not sure what I would do or how I made it before I got my Instant pot.
