What recommendations do you have when dealing with canned beans?

When ever you are making chili, always rinse the dark red kidney beans several times in a colander till you see the water is absolutely clear and not foaming or making any bubbles! By doing just that, this will absolutely make your chili "poot proof"!🙄😳😯🥺👍🤗

Love that 0:54 is not an attack on a brand, even if it is an attack on a brand. Goya is a threat, so, because reasons, yeah. Goya is solid, but offended the Establishment, hence the slander and libel.

In the section called "using a damaged can" you tell people that if the can is dented and they aren't sure if it's safe they should open it and inspect the beans to see if they are rotten. This is bad advice. The dangerous bacteria that grows in damaged cans often does not have any smell or make the beans look rotten. Someone could follow that advice and die, just avoid eating beans from damaged cans.

An unopened can of black beans was accidentally put in my freezer. Can I still eat them. Thank you for this information!!!

You forgot to mention by rinsing they will not thicken

Home can your own. It's not hard. You control what goes into it

It won’t wash away nutrients by repeated washing?

[frankfreeman]

Where do you live that the cans have an aluminum outer shell? Everyone else has steel!

[cindywiner]

IF you buy organic beans, do you still have to rinse them?

Chili does not have beans. Southwest Bean Soup is mistaken for chili.
