Instructions
Step 1
Pour very cold water over the beans and place over medium heat. Do not cover the pot with a lid, otherwise it will turn dark and unpleasant. Once the beans have boiled, add 3-5 tablespoons of ice water. Repeat the process until the beans are soft. Salt it only at the end of cooking, as salt makes the water very hard and slows down the cooking process.
Step 2
To make the beans elastic and their broth rich and satisfying, add 3-5 tablespoons of sunflower or olive oil to the water.
Step 3
For a quick boil, pour the beans with cold water and place on medium. As soon as it boils, drain the broth, cover with cold water and put on fire to boil. Repeat this process until the beans are cooked through.
Step 4
For instant beans, add some baking soda (at the tip of a teaspoon) to the water. At the end of cooking, neutralize the effect of the baking soda by adding a few drops of lemon juice to the broth.
Step 5
Take your time and take out the beans prematurely, even if you do not have time to prepare the dish at all. The fact is that undercooked beans contain toxic substances that are extremely toxic and in large quantities can cause dysbiosis or mild poisoning. The consequences are not terrible, but rather unpleasant. In any case, do not risk the health and well-being of your family and friends, but rather wait a little more time, and the beans will be completely ready.

The bean variety is of no small importance in the cooking process. Cooking time for colored beans (pink, yellow, blue) is much shorter than for white beans. If it is large, this is a sign of an elite variety, which means that it cooks much faster.
Step 7
After boiling the beans, drain them onto a sieve and pour over water at room temperature. The skin may crack a little, but the beans themselves will acquire a pleasant elastic consistency.
