For dried kidney beans, the most time-efficient method is to soak them overnight (8-12 hours). This significantly reduces cooking time. After soaking, pressure cook them for about 25-30 minutes, or boil in a regular pot for 1.5 to 2 hours until they are completely tender. Don't skip the soaking if you're short on time!
Dried kidney beans are great for protein! Definitely soak them overnight first – it helps with digestion too. Then, in a pressure cooker, I usually do 5-6 whistles, which is about 25-30 minutes on medium flame. If you're boiling, it'll be closer to 1.5-2 hours. Cook 'em well for good gut health!
I totally get that cooking dried beans can seem like a long process! The absolute best thing is to soak them overnight. Seriously, don't skip it. After that, in a pressure cooker, 25-30 minutes usually does the trick. If you're boiling on the stove, it might take up to 2 hours, so plan accordingly!
