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.
I've never done this before. I've always used canned beans, and I don't have that luxury anymore because the canned beans are LOADED with salt.

Bruh it might still go wrong because destiny is a bitch, but prepare to be ASTONISHED by the difference in texture and I would say also flavour depth of dried beans.
It's a chore to soak them (some varieties I leave overnight, but there are a few that soaking in the morning and changing water at lunch will do for cooking at night) but man do they taste goood

There's going to be some trial and error for sure, but I would suggest around one hour of boiling, if you like them tender. If you overcook them they disintegrate but hey, even a chili spread is still chili 😁
