da_667I'm making chili today with dried beans I soaked overnight. I let them soak and tasted one this morning and its sort of crunchy, but not rock hard. I'm thinking I should give them a boil before I put them in the pot to soften them up to the consistency I'm used to.

@da_667 we usually buy dried beans now. soak them, then boil them (we use an instant pot/pressure cooker). once cooked we freeeze them. freeze them in a flattened ziploc bag and it is super easy to break off a chunk of frozen beans to throw into whatever you’re cooking. works great for chickpeas, too.
