THANK YOU for the tip on how to soften beans quickly. I soaked today’s pot of beans all night and cooked in in the crock pot on high from 9 am to 5 pm and they still weren’t soft. Then I boiled them on the stove for an hour and a half and they were marginally softer. I Googled frantically and added baking soda. And now we are enjoying our softened dinner. Thank you!

The only thing I can think to ask you is if you are sure you are getting current crop dried beans that are grown organically? I think you shouldn’t give up; I don’t believe that time is gone forever!

Back in the 50’s when I was a teenager, I remember great beans of all types. Now, I have tried all your cooking techniques, and still cannot duplicate my grandmother’s or mother’s wonderful beans. If I try to cook the large lima beans today, they self-destruct before they are tender, and the pinto beans have zero flavor. What am I doing wrong, or is that time past forever? Thanks.
