What are the best ways to cook beans?

Common cooking methods include boiling, pressure cooking, and slow cooking. Beans should be soaked first for even cooking.

Do I need to soak beans before cooking?

Soaking beans overnight or for at least 6-8 hours helps reduce cooking time and makes them easier to digest.

How long do beans take to cook?

Cooking times vary by bean type, but most dried beans take 1-2 hours simmering on the stove after soaking.

Can I freeze cooked beans?

Yes, cooked beans freeze well. Store them with some cooking liquid in airtight containers or freezer bags.

Should I add salt while cooking beans?

Perfectly seasoned, perfectly cooked restaurant caliber pinto beans. I've always liked eating this kind of pinto bean stew at our favorite Mexican restaurant which we used to eat at pretty often, then we couldn't eat there during COVID pandemic. We later found out it had relocated to a farther location. I tried and tried but couldn't make this at home, and always reluctant to buy canned beans due to use of preservatives and artificial ingredients. So excited to discover La Costena Whole Pinto Beans made with all natural ingredients and tastes awesome. My void and craving for this particular authentic Mexican pinto beans stew has been fulfilled.
