My dad always had a houseful of teenagers. He always used his old crock pot. We ate a lot of beans. He kept everyone fed and happy. I love a big pot of beans. Thank you, Martha,

I was looking for something like this. I’ve recently cut back on meat and poultry and needed some creative legume recipes. I hope their is an episode on lentils. Thanks everyone that put this together!

The sac of herbs & garlic is called a bouquet garni in Europe. From the French as most cuisine speak is French. Hence cuisine. I love your advice about the soaking. I love legumes.

What a generous person Martha Stuart is! Not only she shares her wonderful recipes, she does it in such pleasant way! Her tender love for life is shining in her every move and brightens everything around her. Thank you, dear Martha! 💐

I have found that the freshness of the beans determines their cooking time. Old beans that have been in my cupboard for over a year took hours - 3!! - or more to cook after soaking for 2 days. By comparison, beans that are fresher may not even need to be soaked. Lentils cook in an hour or less; red lentils in 20 minutes. So, . . the older the beans the more cooking is needed.

Dear Martha Stewart, I love watching your cooking tutorials. Have learnt so much from you. I have a request to make. Would love to learn some casserole dishes from you. Thanks 🙏🏾

[katrussell]

Thank you. Answers several questions I had about cooking beans.

[merbish]

That is quite the accent on that man, I could listen to him talk about beans all day long. They looked so good!

[jmdenison]

Always be sure to cook the beans thoroughly. Undercook beans can cause major stomach upset and actually make you very very sick. Always follow the recipe exactly to make sure you don't make your household sick

Thank you so much for this, I’m fairly young and never learned how to prepare dried beans. With prices going the way they are, I’m starting to purchase these for our pantry, but unsure how to properly go about making them. Thank you so much!

Greetings: ( USA 🇺🇸) : fwiw: I find that it is a true joy to make a pot of beans with olive oil and herbs and for share with my friends and neighbors

[bbrosser]

Thank You Martha Stewart. Just what I wanted to learn-- cooking beans correctly.

I was raised having beans and vegetables Martha 😋 I love beans 😋 and God bless ❤

[RoadsterKaren]

I made split pea soup yesterday and the beans were from an International Market so they tasted so much better and I wasn't as bloated and over-full so they were probably not GMO beans. I cook beans all the time and watching the video here now so I can learn more.

I've been cooking Pinto Beans most of my life, as did my Mom. We never soaked them.
Pinto beans cook just fine in 3-5 hours depending on your stove, and amount being cooked, and temp.

That was one of the best episodes I’ve seen!!!! I think Martha is sweet on him! 😅 Can’t wait to try but hope I can find all of those different beans!
