ways to
prepare,
cook beans
Bean Basics
Dry beans need to be soaked be-
fore 000king to replace the water
lost in drying. A general rule is to
use 3 cups (750 mL) of water for
each cup (250 mL) of sorted and
rinsed beans. Then follow one of
the directions listed below:
Quick Soak
Bring to a boil, cover and boil for
2 Minutes. Remove from heat and
let stand 1 hour. Drain.
Overnight Soak
Let stand overnight in refrigera-
tor. Drain. (Beans soaked by this
method cook in fess time and keep
their shape better).
Microwave Soak
Combine 3 cups (750 mL) hot
water and 1 cup (250 mL) of dry
beans in a,4 qt. (4 L) microwavea-
ble casserole dish. Cover and mi-
crowave.at HIGH (100%) power
for 15 minutes or until boiling. Let
stand 1 hour. Drain.
To cook Soak Beans a general
rule is to use 3 cups (750 mL) wa-
ter for every cup (250 mL) of
soaked beans and follow one of the
directions listed below:
Convention cooking
In a large saucepan combine
beans and water. Cover and bring '
to a full boil. Reduce heat and sim-
mer until fork tender, about 60 min-
utes.
Microwave Cooking
In a 4 qt. (4 L) microwaveable
casserole dish combine 3 cups (750
mL) water and I cup (250 mL)
soaked beans. Cover and micro-
wave at HIGH (100%) power 10-
15 minutes or until boiling. Stir and
microwave at MEDIUM (50%)
power for 25-35 minutes, stirring
every 15 minutes or until fork ten-
der. -
a Cooking
Place isms in boiling water
(enough so cover) and simmer for
10 minutes. Then place beans in
crockery cooker and add 6 cups
(1500 >4 sr filll lnr, 1, lb. (454
gr of beans. Cook on low for 12
hours. This takes care of both the
soaking and initial cooking steps.
Pressure Cooking
Soak the washed and sorted
beans by either the overnight or
quick method. Place in pressure
cooker; cooker should be no more
than 1/3. filled to allow for expan-
sion. Add water to cover and 1
tbsp. (15mL) of oil to reduce foam-
ing. Cover, cook at 10 pounds pres-
sure about 20 minutes.
Tips
1 1b. (454 g) dry white Ontario
pea beans = 2 to 2 1/2 cups (500-
625 mL) dry beans.
Cook beans just until barely ten-
der if they are to be cooked again in
a recipe.
White cooked beans can be pur-
chased as canned beans in tomato
sauce with or without pork. jji iey
are already cooked so should only
be reheated until hot.
Cooked beans and bean dishc-s
can be frozen in air -tight covered
containers for up to 6 months.
Oil reduces foaming. 1 tbsp. (15
mL) oil for every cup of beans dur-
ing .presoaking reduces foaming
during rapid boiling.
