I'm new to the bean game but I want to look like this: :cool-bean:

What's the easiest way to prepare dried beans? I've done it on the stove but it took hours and didn't come out very good, and I'd love to not shell out for a pressure cooker if I don't have to. Might wind up doing it anyway but wondering what pro tips comrades might have

    just buy canned tbh. Or switch to dried lentils, nutritionally it's sort of the same but red lentils cook in like 10 minutes and even green ones will only take give or take 30 - 45 minutes

      Yeah, I was actually shocked the first time I made red lentils. They are nature's instant bean.

        red lentils and canned beans for double the beans value. You can cook rice in there too to bulk it up
