Guest guest Posted August 11, 2004 Report Share Posted August 11, 2004 How do I make beans in a slow cooker? They are currently in a dry state. Any kid-friendly/ finicky DH recipes for these as well?? Thanks! Michelle Sarazin Have a friend who struggles with energy, health issues, or weight?

Guest guest Posted August 11, 2004 Report Share Posted August 11, 2004 I keep reading this boiling info often and have to wonder though - not about the reasoning and safty issue but I wonder b/c when i cook beans in the crockpot they are always boiling at some point... is this boiling in the crockpot somehow " different " than when it boils on the stove? I mean boiling is boiling right? Does no one elses crockpot make their beans boil? In otherwords maybe mine is heating too hot or something when it is on low... in which case, I should know about it ;-) In a message dated 8/11/2004 2:59:23 PM Eastern Standard Time, laylabaillie writes: Most dried beans should be soaked overnight and certain beans cannot be cooked from soaked state in the slo-cooker because they need to boil for a certain length of time.

Guest guest Posted August 11, 2004 Report Share Posted August 11, 2004 There are lots of different recipes for making beans in crockpot. What kind of recipe were you going for? What are your other available ingredients? If the beans are dry now, begin by soaking them overnight first as I do not think you can make dried beans in a slowcooker. Anyone know a recipe where ya can???? ~Rachell, homeschooling mother to Autumn/10, Logan/6 and Griffin/2. _____ Michelle Sarazin [msarazin] Wednesday, August 11, 2004 8:50 AM dry beans in crockpot?

My understanding is that they have to boil consistently for 10 minutes - does your slo-cooker do that? If it does, then maybe it's ok. Don't think I'd risk it, though.

Guest guest Posted August 11, 2004 Report Share Posted August 11, 2004 I have started out with dried beans in the crock pot for years, and have had no problem. (I will, though, boil kidney beans first, now that I know about the dangers of not doing so.)
