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

    If you can find a cheap pressure cooker at a thrift near you, it's a game changer. I love using my instant pot for beans, that's basically all I use it for honestly. throwing a pound of dry red beans in the pot with 4 cups of stock and some veggies, cook that bad boy for 45 minutes, baby you got a pot of beans going. it's the best when you get home from work, tired and beat, and still want a nutritious delicious beanfeast :bean:

    add a cup of brown rice in there with it and you have an incredible meal that you can eat on for days.
