How do you cook gas-less beans?

1. Stovetop Method:

- Rinse and sort the beans to remove any debris or damaged beans.

- Place the beans in a large pot and add enough water to cover them by 2-3 inches.

- Bring the water to a boil, then reduce the heat to low, cover the pot, and let the beans simmer for 2-3 hours or until they are tender.

- Check the beans periodically and add more water if necessary.

- Once the beans are cooked, drain them and discard the cooking water.

2. Slow Cooker Method:

- Rinse and sort the beans as mentioned above.

- Place the beans in a slow cooker and add enough water to cover them by 2-3 inches.

- Add any desired seasonings or herbs.

- Cover the slow cooker and cook on low for 6-8 hours or until the beans are tender.

- Check the beans periodically and add more water if necessary.

3. Instant Pot Method:

- Rinse and sort the beans as described earlier.

- Place the beans in an Instant Pot and add enough water to cover them by 2-3 inches.

- Add any desired seasonings or herbs.

- Close the lid of the Instant Pot and set it to cook on high pressure for 20-30 minutes (depending on the type of beans).

- Once the cooking time is complete, allow the pressure to release naturally for 10 minutes before opening the lid.

- Check the beans for doneness and add more cooking time if necessary.

4. Oven Method:

- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

- Rinse and sort the beans.

- Place the beans in a large oven-safe pot or Dutch oven and add enough water to cover them by 2-3 inches.

- Add any desired seasonings or herbs.

- Cover the pot and bake in the preheated oven for 2-3 hours or until the beans are tender.

- Check the beans periodically and add more water if necessary.

Remember to adjust the cooking times based on the type and quantity of beans you are cooking. It's also important to soak the beans overnight before cooking to reduce the cooking time and improve their digestibility.
