Awesome blog, thanks for the useful information.
This is the most useful info I have ever come across for cooking beans! Full of good info!
Thank you Pauline! Glad you found it helpful!
i didnt know salt prohibited softening. Too late! they are already simmering. What now?
No problem! A little salt at the beginning cooking stages won't ruin your beans, but it may take longer to cook them until they're totally creamy. Hope that helps!
