You could upload 7 times a day and I would watch every video! I wouldn't watch just anyone cook beans!
lol!
Same! I’m a vegan so this vid is right up my alley 🤣 but I watch allllllll of her videos!
So true..
same! was trying to find a video on how to cook dried beans and then got a recommendation for Christine's way and I never clicked a video so fast 🤣
Hack! Use the water you soaked the beans in to water your plants. It's like plant fuel! My girlfriend will sometimes soak lentils just to get nutritious water for our houseplants?!
Such a great idea! Thanks
Even when spices?
@@butterflyqueen9260 I believe he means she soaks them in water and gives that water that's left over to the plants. I think some of the good stuff from beans may leach out into the water. I'd suggest also any left over water, if you don't have plants could be saved and used for stock water to make something else, that is before you add spices or stuff for your bean recipe. Same with left over "water" from cooking meats. You know like when your boiling a chicken in water to make yellow rice and chicken, or baking a roast (I add water) you can save that water you boiled the chicken, or other meat in for soup stock water, maybe add some bullion cubes of any flavor, for another recipe, or then freeze it till you make your recipe. Same with cooking left over chicken bones, steak bones etc., save them up,, freeze them,, when you have enough, boil them and it makes bone broth and is very nutritioninal for you & pets. I prefer to strain mine and use it for recipes or pour over hard dog food, I'm sure there's tons of things people do with it. Thing is, its fluid for your body, just like the juice in veg. cans. With times now, you may want to save and use in other recipes.
Great tip! I wish I had thought of that!😂
''judging by the grocery's store shelf... a lot of people have dry beans in their pantries''
What a polite way to say that the shelf were empty lol
Chickpea tacos are amazing. I cook the chickpeas with some taco seasoning.
Gonna try this!
@Lisa P top it with some vegan cheese and its pretty yummy.
OMG great idea!
OH MY BOB! THANK YOU! Totally gonna try this.
that's a great idea!
How about a video of 5 things to do with ground beef? I’m bored of my go-to usuals and need new ideas!!!
Kathleen McCandless she could even do a quick roundup of recipes of things she has already done just so we have one place to go to. Christine, just a thought.
Oooh, yes!
Good idea! 👌🏻 Im all for that video too! 😁
Yesss!!! Lol
Bacon Cheeseburger casserole is a really good meal for ground beef. Not the healthiest lol but is quick, easy and filling
I am an overnight soaker, too! I use kidney beans in Red Beans and Rice and I use black beans in dishes like Taco Chicken (a recipe I made up)... saute chicken breasts (whole or cubed) in oil .Add a packet of taco 🌮 seasoning and about a cup of water. Bring to a boil. Add a can of corn (or 2 cups fresh/frozen)and a can of black beans, drained and rinsed. Simmer about 20 minutes or until chicken is done. Serve over rice. Sprinkle cheese over top if desired. Leftovers are good rolled up in a tortilla.
I love that you showed several different ways so everyone would have an opportunity to learn! I don't currently have an instant pot so it's soaking and crock potting for me but I have slowly over time learned some useful things. My one tip..if making beans in a crock pot do not and I repeat do not add molasses and sugar before fully cooked if you want your beans soft. Ruined an entire batch that w ouldnt soften after nearly 2 full afternoons of cooking them. Not a problem if you like the crunch but we did not enjoy them lol
Don’t let some Texans hear that you put beans in your chili! I’ve met some people who can’t stand it and say it’s not “real chili...” I say BS! Beans are so filling, cheap and healthy, and add extra texture and flavor to chili. The only time I like all-meat chili is if it’s going on top of something like a hot dog, fries or chili mac ☺️ actually now that I think about it... chili mac sounds amazing, I’ll make some tonight!
I love beans in chili, if it's not going on hotdogs. My mom always put them to stretch the food when we were broke.
Right?!?!? I'm from Alabama and we have beans in our chili,
But here in TX they looked at me funny when I mentioned it...... 🤷🏻♀️
Amy Hall haha I lived in Alabama for ten years and that chili and cornbread was the good stuff! Here in California we do bean chili but also ranch style beans which as far as I can tell are unique to California and soooooo good. Similar to a chili but a different flavor profile and just one kind of beans.
@@amyhall6 My dad grew up in Alabama, maybe that's why I'm used to it with beans? Every single person's chili recipe is different, I can put beans in it if I want! ;)
Frugal Fit Mom I’m from Texas, and honestly eating chili without beans is the one thing Texas does wrong . Beans contribute to great texture variety and fiber!
Happy Pear has a several great curry recipes using beans. Chickpea curry is my favorite!
Thanks! Never heard of them, and looked them up. :)
Well, I've been reading the comments from other people and I feel like a duck outta water. For one thing I only cook pinto, navy and great northern. I don't soak them, I just put them in the pan and add about three or four strips of bacon and cook, adding water as needed. When they start getting tender I add salt to taste and only a little water at a time until the juice gets thick. I serve them with fried potatoes or rice. And don't forget the cornbread. Been making them that way for fifty eight years.
Sounds good to me. Ive never had them that way, so you dont soak nor boil just saute with water, surprised they get soft enough to eat.
@@eveny119if you boil long enough they do get tender
Ever though of putting a ham hock in whilst you’re cooking the beans? Great start to a soup base.
I do it all the time. :)
@@FrugalFitMom That would be an awesome recipe to see if you make it anytime soon! Love your channel!
Add cabbage to ham hock @ and any left over ham slices, cook cabbage to change of color, not soft still with a crunch to it, serve over rice. @Frugal Fit Mom
@@laurapili400 sounds great. I love cabbage recipes!
I love making refried beans and putting them on fried toast with a fried egg. So good!
I rarely make it but it's so so good😊
I love that you include all the different ways to cook beans, and not just instant pot! I know they are so popular, but I just don’t have one. Lol I always buy canned beans but I’ve always wanted to know how to cook dried beans, since they usually seem to be a much better deal.
Thank you for your daily videos, Christine! Your positive energy and humor and very much needed and appreciated at this point. 💖💖💖💖
Yes I agree, I like the different methods and instructions.
I like pressure canning my dry beans. Overnight soak, boil 30 minutes, then put into mason jars and pressure can. 8 cups of dry beans will make 16-18 pints of canned beans. SO easy to store...you can use them just like beans from a metal can! Makes chili super fast!
Thank you!! My husband works for a farming company and keeps bringing home dried beans that I had no idea what to do with. I did not know you could freeze them after you cook them. Genius!!
I LOVE seeing stuff on the stove! lol Makes me feel better that mines not clean!
Amanda Murphy do you actually cook if your stove is clean?
Nobody who actually cooks has a perfectly clean stove! Haha
What are the odds lol really could’ve used this YESTERDAY when damn near almost exploded my instant pot making beans lol
OH, NO! How in the world did you do that Savannah? SCARY!!!
Okay. I AM LIKE SCREAMING inside! I LITERALLY was just thinking yesterday that I wanted to request this video because I want to love making dried beans! You are my favorite
Hi greeting from south Australia. Great timing I have just bought some dried.beans and apart from soup and a salad have no recipes so hanging out for tomorrow’s video. Love your channel
Also, I have been avoiding the grocery store ( like we all should be doing) and I looked in my pantry last night at all my dried beans and thought... Hmm, I've never cooked dried beans before 🤔 so this video came just in time! 💕
Then why did you have all those dried beans? lol. Sorry I do that too. I was trying some whole food vegan dishes and I ordered a lot of seeds and nuts and flour on line. By the time I got all the stuff. I had forgotten what I was trying to make, like spelt?
No, people should not have avoided going to the grocery store. 🙄 Come on now. Stopping living is not the way to go.
Soaking beans with a little white vinegar or whey makes the nutrients more bio-available.
My favorite is pink beans... milder than pinto.... and to eat them with rice, cornbread and raw onion. Yum
YES I’ve been waiting for this video I knew it was bound to happen! Thank you SO MUCH for sharing your life with us and being bold enough to be you💕
I love to make chick peas and potatoes with curry ,onions and garlic. Tastes great with roti or flatbread for vegetarian meal.
Now THAT sounds delish!!!
I have five instant pots in different shapes and forms .
Don't give it away you will need them all lol
I never met a bean I didn't love! This video was such fun! You always have great content. I enjoy your high energy, your humor and it is such fun t see how much the family appreciates good food!💕
I cook literally everything in my IP but last week finally tried dried beans and omg it was so easy and delicious, I added better than bouillon veggie base to my pinto beans. SO GOOD
Those "Better Than Bouillon" bases are the BOMB!!!!
They make a veggie bullion??? I had no clue
Happy Easter 🤗💕
I’ve been needing to learn how to cook dried beans so I’m glad you made this 🙌🏻💙
Omg I'm actually using dried beans this week and haven't used them in forever! Thank you so much for sharing!
I've always found kidney beans to have a tough/thick skin on them. My go-to chili bean is "small red beans". They look like half sized kidney beans.
Amber O'Leary I like those little red beans better than kidney beans too. They are easier to cook and taste better, imo.
I hate kidney beans too.. smaller ones way to go.. I hate peel on tthem
Me too, we should form a group! haha ''Just say no to Kidney Beans''.
I soak my black beans in a gallon of well salted water (per America's Test Kitchen) for tender bean skins. It works, for black beans at least. Tried it on those small red beans - total fail in that case. I soaked those plain (2nd batch) and boiled the crap out of them. Then they turned soft finally. I canned a bunch of beans the past few weeks.
Thank you for this video! I’ve always wondered how to cook dried beans, usually get the ones in a can!
This is so timely. I just decided I'm going to start cooking my own beans.
We do white beans, pinto beans, and kidney beans here. I also love making chili for the family. Prefer using dried over canned so I can control salt and avoid preservatives.
I'd like to see a video on recipes for red and green lentils
Thank You! I am 44 and never cooked dried beans, but may need to learn if I can ever find dried beans again.
I've cooked with dry beans for years, but I thought you'd probably teach me something new; I was right! I've been mulling over getting an "Instant Pot" for a while. I think you just convinced me. Thanks for all of your videos!
This has inspired me to try cooking beans for the first time ever.....never knew it was so easy with the instant pot. Thanks you! 😍
Thanks for this video. I had asked you the other day to take one item, then show us how to prepare it using different recipes when finished cooking it. This hit the spot!
I like white beans the best (navy, etc) because of their mild flavor. I like making a hummus-type dip out of them, white chili, etc. Looking forward to tomorrow's video! Thank you! Need to use my IP more for beans!
Black beans in burrito bowls are my fave! I do love some great northern beans in chicken chili and ham n bean soup though.
Just got an instant pot for my birthday! So excited!
I’m craving beans now!! I have cooked dry beans in ages! Thanks for all the tips! :) oh and fave bean to eat is probably chick pea as hummus and falafel and also white beans with onion, vinegar, oil, salt n pepper as a salad/side dish!
Happy Easter 🐣 everyone! My favorite is the black jelly bean! Snerk! In reality my preference is the chickpea usually as hummus or in curry.
Big fan of small red beans and black beans! I love making chili with all kinds of beans :)
my family is vegan and we eat alot of different types of peas,beans and lentils....nothing beats a good old fashion stove top pressure cooker....
Lentils are my favorite, black beans and split pea soup... YUM!
Thanks Christine! I appreciate all your content! ❤️ all beans and breads! Probably if forced to choose, 🤔 black beans (and homemade yellow rice) with skillet cornbread and honey butter. Tfs!
I've given a "like" before starting the video! I'm a fan from Italy (Milan...) since months, and I think that we all need to watch your channel more than ever to be well organized in these quarantine days. People stock up with things that are unusual and this video is perfect!
I love all beans but garbonzo are my fav.. So yummy in salads, I love to keep a marinated 4 bean salad in the fridge almost all the time, love a curry chickpea over rice and just snacking in general. We've been cooking up. And freezing our older ones while I am home and have the extra time. So convenient. 😁😊 Happy Easter! ☺️
Holly Caffeinated Nerd Girl have you made crunchy roasted chickpeas in the oven? Soooo good as a snack! I also make tuna or Greek salad and add chickpeas, or do smashed chickpeas with seasoning. Or make hummus! So versatile!
@@maddieb.4282 I keep wanting to roast some but I always eat them before I get that far! 🤣🤣🤣
Thankyou! I have a lot of dried beans but haven't been successful in cooking them. I will try your instant pot method!
thank you for this video!!! I've not had much success with dry beans and abandoned them long ago.
Hi Christine, chickpeas for hummus, kidney beans in chili, and every kind of bean in soups and stews....love beans! Added protein and that's great!
Thank you!! I bought dried beans, but have not tried to cook them yet. I look forward to trying this. I think I will do the overnight soak.
Bless you for this video! I use my Instant Pot to cook beans and usually do a pound at a time, to freeze some for later. I soak mine overnight (unless I "forget", then I do the Quick Soak. Haven't seen much difference in the IP, yet)...put them in the pot with water and minimal seasoning (no salt) and cook them for a short time with the Natural Release. I've only had "exploding beans" with Great Northerns, but that only brings out the inherent "creaminess" and that ain't bad....:)
Judith Loue I like to cook mine on the stove for several hours until they’re very soft. I like the soup thick and creamy.
@@southerngrandma4353 I used to cook mine on the stove, or in an old stovetop pressure cooker (the horror!)...now that I am "old" i like the convenience of my IPot...whatever works for you..is you....
Judith Loue I wasn’t telling you to cook any different, just saying how I like to cook mine. I didn’t mean you were doing yours the wrong way and I’m sure the instant pot is great and makes good beans. I wasn’t being critical at all about you. Sorry if you took it that way. I’m old too and not in good health, will be 75 in a couple of months.
I use small red beans (from Walmart) for my Honduran red beans and rice.
I love the small red beans!
Could you share your Honduran red beans recipe please? I would love to know another beans recipe, don't have that many in my rotation so am keen to learn more. Thanks :)
Great video. I have been interested in cooking dried beans. Got a ninja foodie and an instapot too. Looking forward to trying it. Bought a bag of dried beans, one with 10 different beans. Looking forward to throwing it into my ninja foodie with a can of diced tomatoes, a linkmor two of smoked sausage and some spices....delicious!
My favorite bean......so difficult to choose a favorite. Enjoy pintos, black beans, cannellini beans, and kidney beans.
great northern beans, i love those in my ham bean soup. i do not have the instapot. it is on my list but i just finally bouht a mixer with a bowl and dough hooks so i can make the bread.....one thing at a time!
I've always just cooked them in broth till soft with some spice and onion so yumm! Just recently tried yellow lentil Dahl so yummy. It's been hot here and more veg proteins seem to be easier to eat in this heat.
Love black, pink, and white beans in chilli. Great video and great information 👍
I have the instant pot mini. Perfect for one person. So far I mostly use mine for chicken bone broth. So quick and easy. But i will definitely try to cook chickpeas in it now.
I dont even cook but I still watch every single one of your videos
You hit it! Congrats!!
I love chickpeas in dang near everything. Black beans are my 2nd fave in many Tex mex recipes
I love to eat dry beans, and chickpeas are my favorite. Thank you for your videos.
Thank you for this video! My first pot of beans tasted like mud; they said I needed to wash them so my second pot of beans tasted like soap they told me I have to rinse and drain all the dirty water off so as they were cooking every time the water started to turn brown I would drain and rinse the beans and start cooking them again with clean water
You take the beans and rinse them off with cold water in a colander or in a pan, no soap and swish them around then pour out the water. You rinse to get twigs, dirt etc off. Then you put them in a pan, cover with water, have inches of water over the beans, to soak over night depending on the bean. Bags have directions for that. Depending on the bean you choose, the water will turn cloudy as it's cooking. Some turn darker then others, they're not dirty, they are cooking. Your doing it right. While they are cooking you can add ham hocks, bacon, left over ham or onions, even veges, spices, bullion cube for flavor etc. Once the bean water starts thickening up, you want to let the water cook down so it starts thickening up to your preference. You can use it over rice, make a soup or whatever your thinking of making. I got the feeling you were frustrated, maybe needing assistance. If I'm wrong, I'm sorry. Just wanting you to have a good experience with beans. They are so good for you, have many uses in recipes, side dishes, cheep, make soups, chili's, things stretching farther. Hope this helps. Do a search for bean recipes. There's many in this comment section of all kinds of recipes. Happy trails Vicki
@@VWilt-so3ws thank you Vicki
The Instant Pot is life changing for cooking beans. I make a pot fat free refried beans every week. The jalapeños, Serrano's, onion and spices infuse the beans with incredible flavor. Bean, cheese and bacon tacos are a favorite breakfast here.
I'm so happy you did this video. I learned not to put salt when cooking, which I didn't know. I've used mostly canned beans and the few attempts to use dry beans were mediocre. So, I will definitely be trying your method. My favorite beans are black beans. So good. ButI love beans and eat a variety. TFS Kristin x
Thank you for this I just got dry beans I usually only use canned. I do love chick pea gyros if you oven roast them they give great texture.
I enjoy great northern beans and use them to make a nice pot of ham and beans with a side of cornbread. In fact, I plan to make this comfy food using some of the leftover ham I made for Easter dinner.
You always have the best videos! I know how to make these but I still watched. 🤷🏻♀️😂
Taco soup is delicious! It is such a forgiving recipe! I use whatever beans I have on hand! 🥣
I needed this video! Thank you! Happy Easter!!🐣🐇❤️
I just made your chicken and rice casserole. With uncle Tony Tony seasoning, I love it. Thank you, so easy I added a can of mixed veggie, but I think I will do fresh carrots and celery with onion next time mm mm yum
I can my black beans in pints , I also do garbanzo and I add chilli and garlic , love them both in salads , I make hummus all the time . I can do 2 rows in my large AA pressure canner .
It took a year…. But I finally got the instant pot! Going to make dried beans today, this video definitely stuck with me. Thank you 🙏🏼😅
Chick peas for the win! Also enjoy red kidney beans. I just made a bean salad (which I love) from a recipe my mom used to make, which uses chick peas, red kidney beans, lima beans, cut green beans with some chopped veggies and a delicious vinaigrette.
My favorite bean is white beans (navy or cannellini). I love it in soups or smashed on top of toast.
Perfect timing with this video! I just bought dried beans for the first time this week! 😂
Try to put them on worm water over night and will be esasier to cook even on a simple pot.
@@xxxxyyy2880 Thank you! :)
@@WapYasseWPlays 😉
I make mines in a crockpot.
Dump and go style .
1 cup of beans of choice
3 cups of water
A lot of Garlic 🥰
Frozen Diced Onion
A piece of flavorful 🍖 🥓 🥩 I used jerky a few times.
Mashed some of the beans still in the crockpot and pour over rice 😝
it's so easy and yummy 😋
Very much agreed on the multicooker! The only thing I'd add is make sure you get one with a stainless steel pot. The teflon-coated ones aren't going to last as long. You can find off-brand ones for pretty cheap if you watch for them. For example, just this past weekend (on January 8th, 2021) Best Buy had their Insignia brand 6qt stainless steel multi-cooker for $30, which is 50% off.
I love kidney bens too, we had chilli for dinner today it was delicious. I’m looking forward to tomorrow’s video. Stay safe and god bless xx
I need that shirt lol. Also, thank you for posting this video, I messed up the first time I tried making dried beans & I've been afraid to try them again since.
I don't have an instantpot. I cook dried beans in my slow cooker or on the stove. I also freeze them in mason jars to use later. Easy peasy!
The bags of dried bean 15 bean soup is our favorite use for 15 bean soup
15 bean soup was going to be my suggestion too..or a smaller version of it with less beans
Insent pots seam ease to use but I have not use mine do to fear of not using it right. Glad I came across your video I think beans would be a good first time cooking with a inset pot.
I Cook a lot of beans in my pressure cooker (after the soak ovet night) and put them in jars and then in the freezer. So easy to take some beans when cooking. Regards from Finland.
I cook beans in the oven, uses less water than on top of the stove so the flavor is more intense and quicker. I will be trying my Instapot tomorrow with leftover Easter ham!
I love my instant pot for beans too. We love a big pot of pinto beans flavored with ham hocks or bacon, chili powder, brown sugar, cumin, salt and black pepper.... and some good ole cornbread!!
I also use my instant pot for spaghetti with meat sauce and I only cook pasta in the instant pot... no more stove top for pasta ever again!!!!
Thank you!! Where did you get your spoons? They are so cute!! I lucked out with my instant pot. It was brand new, never used. Marked 9.95, but got for 4.95 on senior day half price at a local thrift shop. The right place at the right time indeed! Love your videos.
Mmmm, yummy! Thank you for the pressure cooker info. Been trying to get my hubby to let me get one (he's scared we'll blow up). Would like to really learn how to can👍
Haha! I do both methods. I bring it to a boil turn them off cover and let set overnight!
I enjoy the Kool aid spoon every time you use it!!!
Lol thank you!! I tried making ground beef yesterday and forgot to seal it🤦 i made hard boiled eggs too and they were runny...such a learning curve for me😅
Thank you so much for your great tutorial! I just purchased my Ninja Foodi 2 weeks ago and can't wait to cook me some beans! :)
Thank you for sharing this! I am terrified of my two instapots and always burn my blacks beans. I will be brave and try the instapot!
I have tried the quick boil method and not had luck with it lately. Never thought about the beans maybe being older in the store.
I bought an instant pot and an air fryer and I haven't used them yet. I am scared to try them. You make it look so easy. My favorite is also the red kidney bean. But I think I will try the instant pot tomorrow.
Christine! Your hair at the end there was so cute! Also that top! Really pretty! I got a crockpot for Christmas that I haven't tried yet and I do have some dry chickpeas, so perhaps those will be my first attempt :) (Would have used it before had it not been for also getting a baby for Christmas)
I've never really had dried beans before. It was one of the foods that I labeled as a no go when I was a kid and made big hard decisions like that. The texture was just really off to me. I told myself that this year I will try them again, since the idea of having some variety, additional protein and decreasing the grocery bill is the goal for the year.
You can add so many things to beans and there's such a variety. Search recipes, then add your flavors, ham hocks
Or bacon, leftover ham, any Boulton flavor,, spices, so many things, so very healthy, cheep and good for you
I don’t eat meat, so beans have been a regular part of our diet since, like, forever. 🤪 but I haven’t used dry beans until recently. This was a very helpful video! Thank you!
