Deanne Using Dried Black Beans

[Guest guest]

I always soak. The flash boil method doesn't always work for me so I

gave up on it. Pintoes & chickpeas I soak overnight in the crockpot,

change the water in the morning and leave them on low all day.

Smaller beans like black beans I soak all day & then cook when I get

home; they don't take long once they're soaked. I make extra and

freeze them so they're on hand.

 

Sometimes if the beans are old, even with soaking they'll turn out

crunchy.

to use with the ffabulous black bean and rice recipe I got from

here... but the beans were crunchy.  I timed everything correctly.  Is

it better to soak overnight?
