Great tips! Dry beans are so cheap and easy to prepare and once you discover all the wonderful recipes you can make with them you wonder why you didn't start using them sooner.
Thanks Tom, you gave us a quick 4 minute video on a good way to cook dry beans in an hour and a half. I respect that you didn't rant at us to like the video, subscribe, share, or comment for a fake gift card give away or anything. Good video, keep on doing these quick cooking videos.
I love this series. Thx for all the tricks. Here's my list of kitchen problems I'd like to be solved by Thomas. I know you have the answers :) 1. How to preserve garlic, ginger, shallots, green onions so that they don't germinate / get soft 2. How to cake care and cook in my Cast enamel dutch oven (temperature, how to avoid food to stick, cleaning, storing tricks) 3. How to make the perfect dumb proof Crème Caramel or crème brulée 4. How to clean a cutting board, disinfect, wash, store 5. How to sharpen a knife 6. How to thicken a sauce (different methods) 7. Is there a way to save a meal with too much salt 8. Ways to make sure ground beef, pork or veal don't boil in the pan but sear 9. How to make chicken fried rice (this one may sound stupid but mine always end up being mushy and not fried) 10. How to keep lemons and limes for a long time in the fridge. Thx
LOVE your videos and you! Can you show us the correct way to make French macarons? There are so many videos out there saying one this and that, but I'd like you show us the best way for the perfect French macaron!
Would you use aromatics if you were storing the beans? I have heard you don't want to add flavor if it will be stored because they will spoil? The seasonings is for when eating right away.
Why would you throw that water? all the flavor is in there! I f you're gonna pre soak them, save the water and on it add the rest. All that brown water is all the vitamins and flavor of the beans. Mexican here knows :C
I like beans In with my porridge. I thought If the Koreans can make a red bean Ice cream what can I do with beans to get protean. Been vegatarin It has been great for extra protean. Get use to It by adding jam to the porridge. It Is yum yum after a while.
Soak the beans until doubled in size then throw them in a rice cooker with enough water to come to your first knuckle like you should do with rice. Add any aromatics and definitely a bay leaf. Easy!
many brands of canned beans have sodium - a LOT of it - added. You can rinse the beans and get rid of some of the sodium, but dried will always be preferable in that context.
And now days a lot of stores are selling canned beans with "no salt added." I'm sure it still has sodium but much, much less so it should be fine (and much less of a hassle)
You should always do at least a few rinses of your beans before tossing them into the pot. You just took them out of the dirty water without rinsing them.
How do you use beans in a vegetarian type diet? Do you eat it alone? Do you add rice to it? Do you add it to a salad? Do you eat it in a soup? How do you make a meal out of beans?
Leonard Mayer beans paired with cooked rice is a complete meal in almost every cuisine I can think of- Mexican (indeed all of Latin America), Indian, Greek, Lebanese, Korean etc. There are different ways of making beans. Almost all use aromatics like onions garlic pepper for flavor and maybe a stock to boil in, I’d recommend using a pressure cooker for efficient cooking. You could also pair beans with bread- pita, naan, tortilla, enchiladas etc
They will cook fine with out soaking. But I always soak them to cut cooking time, which saves some money on the energy used to cook them whether you have electric or gas. Never used pressure cookers but I bet they can conserve energy too.
have soaked beans as long as 2 days and boiled the hell out of them & wound up still mealy... they're a waste of time, as far as I'm concerned. made split pea soup recently & should have just thrown it over the fence...
I absolutely hate American chili (ground beef and beans). I would have simply written that I hate chili, except that I really like some of the more mexican styles chilis, which have a lot of green chili pepper in them, no beans, and maybe some cubed pork.

Beans are incredible, really do wonder how I went so long not using them. Nice to see how much veg to use! Keep them coming Thomas.

Yay! I needed this conundrum to be solved. Thank you!
I would like to give this like 10 thumbs up! I never really know what to do with beans and now I've got a great starting point.
What great idea to speed up cooking beans. Also loving the suggestions in the comments. I'll have to try the pressure cooker method!
LOVE your videos and you! Can you show us the correct way to make French macarons? There are so many videos out there saying one this and that, but I'd like you show us the best way for the perfect French macaron!
Thank you! How do you make refried beans?

Thank you for a great tip!
Thanks, Tinker Belle!
Love it. Great. Thank you adorable Thomas :)
I'm in love with this channel
thanks 🌸
From all the comments so many good recipes for dry beans.
What about adding salt? I've heard it's best not to salt until after cooking. Is that correct?
yes
The last 20-25 minutes salt.
great video! thank you!
Can you make a video about slicing/cubing onions?
Why would you throw that water? all the flavor is in there! I f you're gonna pre soak them, save the water and on it add the rest. All that brown water is all the vitamins and flavor of the beans. Mexican here knows :C
Totalmente de acuerdo contigo! Y según yo no se le pone cebolla ni nada, si acaso ajo pero nadamas
Throw it out to get rid of any dirt, tiny stones, possible chemical residue etc. It's your choice but I always toss it.
I like beans In with my porridge. I thought If the Koreans can make a red bean Ice cream what can I do with beans to get protean. Been vegatarin It has been great for extra protean. Get use to It by adding jam to the porridge. It Is yum yum after a while.
I would never boil or cook my beans to hydrate them, all their flavours will be drained off
Cool. This is pretty much how we do it at home.
Soak the beans until doubled in size then throw them in a rice cooker with enough water to come to your first knuckle like you should do with rice. Add any aromatics and definitely a bay leaf. Easy!
What's gained by using dried beans over canned? Is it just price or are there other factors that cause people to go for dried beans?
many brands of canned beans have sodium - a LOT of it - added. You can rinse the beans and get rid of some of the sodium, but dried will always be preferable in that context.
And now days a lot of stores are selling canned beans with "no salt added." I'm sure it still has sodium but much, much less so it should be fine (and much less of a hassle)
I use a bean recipe book and found out you have to vigorously boil dried kidney beans for at least 10 min. or they become toxic.
Could this work with chick peas? Be a lot quicker if I didn't have to soak them overnight
how to make pizza dough more elastic, mine goes back into a ball after I roll it out .-.
Just cook them in a pressure cooker, Takes an hour at most, women in my family have been using this metod for generations (my mom, grandma, aunts...)
Great for people like me who doesn't own a pressure cooker. 👍

What is your recipe for chile after cooking beans? I usually avoid salt since I have high blood pressure.
Thomas what about using a bay leaf.
That brown liquid you throw away has all the nutrients.

asked to do it for a long way to go back and forth between the ages of my favorite part time job and I will
There is no need to soak beans. Just sort, rinse, and stew for 2-3 hours.
They will cook fine with out soaking. But I always soak them to cut cooking time, which saves some money on the energy used to cook them whether you have electric or gas. Never used pressure cookers but I bet they can conserve energy too.
Just use a preassure cooker, its faster.
If you don't brine the beans? they're gonna be tough. period.
this process is too long. I always rinse it, and then cook it in pressure cooker for 30 minute juts with water.
awesome im gonna try this.
No spices in pressure cooker for flavor?
have soaked beans as long as 2 days and boiled the hell out of them & wound up still mealy... they're a waste of time, as far as I'm concerned. made split pea soup recently & should have just thrown it over the fence...
The more beans in the pot the more u fart
Whose here cause they are poor?
What's with that chili so lose
I absolutely hate American chili (ground beef and beans). I would have simply written that I hate chili, except that I really like some of the more mexican styles chilis, which have a lot of green chili pepper in them, no beans, and maybe some cubed pork.
