Problem: How to cook kidney beans
Soak dried kidney beans in cold water for 8-12 hours.
Dried kidney beans need to be soaked in water before being boiled and cooked. For the best results, soak beans in a pot full of cool water overnight at room temperature. OPTIONS:
- The smaller kidney beans you soak, the more they will soften. Place the beans in a large ice bath for 10 minutes at minimum.
- It's a good idea to sort through the beans before hand and rinse them off, to remove any dust, sediment, or tiny pebbles that might have gotten mixed in. Rinsing them in a colander is usually fine.
- You can also soak them in bottled, very cold water overnight to get rid of the discoloration of the beans. Insert your kidney beans into a large pot of water.
- Add salt or boiling water to water. In addition to soaking thoroughly, your beans need an even amount of salt to give them flavor and color.
