canned beans should be fine, give them a rinse and youre good to go (they have already been cooked and toxins removed)

Its the dried type you need to be careful with, rinse in cold water then boil for ten minutes then soak in fresh water over night. Then boil to complete cooking.

in a slow cooker beans WONT usually cook fully if you put them in dry and dont add salt to the water when boiling them because it stops the beans from rehyrating. (it will take ages)]]> Fri, 15 Jul 2011 22:17:40 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=39583&PID=1363397&title=beans-in-slow-cooker#1363397 <![CDATA[Beans in slow cooker : I&#039;m pretty sure kidney beans...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=39583&PID=1347532&title=beans-in-slow-cooker#1347532 Author: mothermercury

I'm pretty sure kidney beans have a nasty toxin in them, and a google search recommends boiling them for ten minutes before slow cooking. However, this seems to be for raw, dry beans, and I'm pretty sure the ones in the tin are not raw and have already been well-heated in the canning process. So you should be fine just putting those ones in!]]> Wed, 15 Jun 2011 23:11:29 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=39583&PID=1347532&title=beans-in-slow-cooker#1347532 <![CDATA[Beans in slow cooker : Hi all I haven&#039;t cooked...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=39583&PID=1346838&title=beans-in-slow-cooker#1346838 Author: happymumma

Hi all

I haven't cooked canned beans in the slow cooker before but seem to remember that you need to do something special with them first???  I want to try a new recipe with canned kidney beans and black beans in the slow cooker today - can I just rinse and chuck them in or do I need to do a degree of pre cooking?

thanks in advance!
