  1. Hi,

    Do beans cook well in a crockpot? Do you know of any resources that give guidelines for cooking? I
    cook beans a lot, but was thinking of how convenient it would be to just throw them in the crock in
    the morning and come home to cooked beans in the evening.

    Whatcha think?

    thanks,

    Lisette in Portland

    It's highly dependent on the crockpot/slow cooker, the minerals in your water supply, and volume
    you're planning on cooking but I've had excellent results.

    back in your head putting you in an 10-hour coma, all while instantly dissolving your internal bone
    structure. The first time I took it was at a friend's party. I deboned myself right there on his
    floor, blissfully squashing seven guests." Bill Hastings, 1996

    Our water is so hard and mineral laden that I have to use bottled water to soak and cook beans if I
    expect them to be edible and tender.

    My thanks to you both for your responses. Our water is very hard too, so I'll give it a try with
    bottled water.

    sincerely, Lisette
