blueduckxx Posted July 8, 2011 Share Posted July 8, 2011 because I am full of questions...do you drain your canned beans?me personally, I love the liquid it sits in, although I still drain it almost completely, it's still yummy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tebriel Posted July 10, 2011 Share Posted July 10, 2011 I wash mine when I use them from the can, that liquid contains tons of sodium!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jungleinthefrunk Posted July 11, 2011 Share Posted July 11, 2011 I only used dried beans, I boil em myself. Dont trust the preservatives/salt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
medman Posted July 11, 2011 Share Posted July 11, 2011 Yes, that water contains a lot of salt (probably why it tastes so good to many). Yes, cooking dry beans is an awesome and delicious and economical alternative to canned beans, and is well worth a shot.

Odidnetne Posted August 21, 2011 Share Posted August 21, 2011 I invested $40 in a pressure cooker about 3 years ago (mostly for beans, but it does other stuff pretty well), and that thing has paid for itself so many times over. I cook a large batch, drain them in a colander, then put them in a tupperware in the freezer. When I want to eat them, simply pop open the top, pour some warm water in and they break apart and reboil in a couple minutes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
