How to cook kidney beans in a crock pot?

My doctor warned me that raw kidney beans contain a toxin that isn't destroyed by the low heat of a crock pot. You must boil them on a stove first for 10-15 minutes. After boiling, you can safely slow-cook them in the crock pot until tender.

I use kidney beans for managing my insulin levels in PCOS, and crock pots make them really tender. I always pre-boil them first for safety, then slow cook with simple spices. But please do check what works best for your digestive system.

Crock pot rajma is a total game changer for that slow-cooked, buttery dhaba style texture! Just boil them first to get rid of the toxins, then let them slow cook with onions and tomatoes all day. The aroma when you walk back into the house is insane.

I panicked so much when I first read about kidney bean toxicity in slow cookers, thinking I had poisoned my family. But it's totally fine as long as you boil them on high stove heat first before slow cooking. Once you know that trick, crock pot cooking is incredibly easy and safe.
