How to cook beans - instructions

You will need - a glass of beans, water for soaking, water for cooking

1. Although the beans take a long time to cook, the process itself is very simple. Half the success is in soaking. Before cooking, rinse red beans thoroughly under warm water and soak in boiled water: three glasses of water per glass of beans, cover and leave at room temperature in the shadow. Every couple of hours it is better to change the water, but if this is not possible, then just put the cereal in the refrigerator. During this time, the beans will swell well - which means that the cereal is suitable for cooking and will definitely turn out soft. Here are a couple of tips: it is most convenient to soak the beans in the morning - and cook in the evening, well, or at night to cook dinner. It is not worth soaking the cereal for more than 12 hours, it can sour. If you are in a hurry, you can pour boiling water over the cereal and leave it warm for an hour. But the natural way of soaking in cold water is more gentle on vitamins.

2. The next step is even simpler: the beans are washed, poured with water in a saucepan and put on a quiet fire. The top is covered with a lid, salt is placed immediately (in moderation). Well, or soaked beans are added to the soup broth. This stage does not require labor costs - it is only important that there is a supply of water, sometimes control it. After 40 minutes, the cereal will be cooked, but it is always better to taste it. It is very simple to understand that the beans are cooked: cool 3 beans and try, they should be very soft on the bite. If the beans are soft enough, cooking stops, but if it is hard, cook for another 20 minutes.

3. After cooking, the water is drained, and the grits are salted and used as a side dish or soup. Your beans are cooked!

This is the easiest way to cook beans. All other methods - without soaking, with soda, in a pressure cooker, etc. - are emergency and, other things being equal, not optimal. Their use requires more labor, control, and the result may not meet expectations due to the properties of cereals or errors when using an unusual method.

To make beans softer:
- after washing, generously pour over the beans with boiling water;
- add sunflower oil when cooking;
- Drain the first boiled water, rinse the beans with ice water, continue to cook in fresh cold water;
- soak the beans with the addition of soda: 1/5 tablespoon of soda per glass of beans, and rinse well before cooking.

How to cook beans in a slow cooker

1. Pour two cups of red or white beans into a wide bowl, pour 5 cups of cold water and leave to swell for about 8 hours. This will save you cooking time in the future.

3. Rinse the swollen beans thoroughly in a colander under running cold water, let the water drain and load into the slow cooker.
4. Salt beans at the rate of 1 teaspoon of table salt per 1 cup of beans, add black ground pepper to taste, mix gently and pour fresh water so that it covers the beans by a centimeter.

Remarks.

When asking the question, how many grams of beans are in a glass, you can find different answers about the number of grams. Which does not always mean an error in the published data on the weight of a serving of a product on a website or in a table. More often this is due to the fact that not everyone knows - there are two standards for glass cups. They come in 200 and 250 gr. The first version of 200 gr - a classic faceted glass, the author of which is the famous sculptor Mukhina, is not often seen at home or in the kitchen. Faceted designed specifically for the standard of the old dishwasher. Therefore, today we will consider the second version of a glass cup - 250 gr, more popular. You can find out how many grams of beans fit in a 250 gr glass. Such information about the weight of the product turns out to be useful at home, at home, if only because it allows you to relatively accurately, simply and quickly measure portions of beans by weight in grams, without weighing the beans on a scale. Sometimes it is very convenient, especially when the accuracy of measuring the weight portion of beans in grams is not very high, but approximate, estimated. What we call approximate weight. By the way, unlike the weight of a serving of beans in a teaspoon or a tablespoon, a portion of the product determined by the “glass volume” is always more accurate and can be “trusted”. What is connected with the correct form of glassware. Here the so-called "slide" plays a lesser role when filling a glass container. Therefore, the error in measuring a weight portion by measuring it in a given volume is also less. Sometimes it is useful to remember that there are formulas for converting servings from the number of spoons to the volume of a glass, but these formulas always contain too much error and it is better not to use such proportions. Naturally, if you need to know the exact weight, how many grams of the beans are in a glass, the reference data from Table 1 can only be used as an approximate number of grams and you cannot do without weighing a serving of beans on a scale. The method of determining the weight of the product, the correct weighing is extremely simple. For example, first you weigh an empty glass or take its standard weight indicated on the website. Then you weigh the full, and the difference between the two weighings will give you the desired value: how much is the weight of the product. However, such situations in everyday life are rare and at home, in the kitchen, in cooking, when cooking, it will be quite enough to find out how many grams of the beans are in a glass, using table 1.
