Mrs.Adelaide Sippel Thedford • Store dry beans in a dry, airtight container at room temperature and not in the refrig- erator. • Store indefinitely but best used with- in one year because they lose moisture over time and take longer to cook and soak. • Always rinse and sort beans. • Cooked beans can be kept four or five days covered and refrigerated. Freeze cooked beans for convenience in airtight, freezer containers or Baggies for up to six months. • Add a tablespoon of butter, margarine or oil to cooking water to reduce foaming and boil- ing over. • Salt and acids in lemon juice, vinegar or toma- toes will make beans firm and could impair the softening process. If your recipe calls for these ingredients, add at the end of cooking time when beans are almost tender. • Increase the soak- ing and cooking time in hard water 'or at high altitude.
