How to Slow Cook Black Beans

Video Transcript

"Hi, my name is Sheryl with expertvillage.com and we are talking about black bean salsa. Now the beans that I'm holding are just a raw black bean and in my hand I have just these little black beans and that is how they are when they come in bulk. Now we have soaked them over night and I showed you how to do it with pinto beans. Well this is basically what they would look like with black beans. By morning 8 hours later after you soaked them for any 8 hour period that you soak them they would start to grow. When they have got bigger like this then this is my other secret to saving a lot of money I really like these slow cookers. This is 2 different types of slow cookers, a crock pot is actually a brand name but the name of what these are really are are slow cookers. We are just going to take our soaked beans and we are going to actually rinse out the water from the night before. Then put in new water into the pan along with our black beans. So now we have fresh water and the beans that have now gotten bigger. We are going to put the lid on and we are going to leave these for about 4-6 hours. That is our new black bean that would be cooked."
