Tell yourself I said hi.
Mrs. T -- ...Oh, Miranda. Tell yourself I said hi.<br /><br />Mrs. T -- I tried dried beans last week, and I just followed the directions on the bag and assumed they were done ... and put them in a soup ... and they were NOT done. Excellent idea about canning and saving. I will definitely try that!Veronica M.

Some assume that you are going to give them further cooking (as opposed to heating) and some add the salt too early, which toughens them. If you want to make a BIG effort some week, you can cook a big pot of dried beans to the level of done-ness you like and then freeze them in can-sized quantities. A bonus is that you can leave out the salt altogether.Salome Ellenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13207028136419419757noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1111737390759902247.post-38563645989027863592011-03-14T23:04:51.078-04:002011-03-14T23:04:51.078-04:00Thanks for not letting me down.
