@mapleme You might want to steer clear of the SAK household next week if it's beans all week.  Just sayin'.

I was thinking that.  Five males on a bean diet.  Sounds like a lot of fingers will be pulled.

Be careful soaking in salt. Some types of beans do better having the salt added to the water just before they're done cooking. It can actually cause them to stay hard while they're cooking rather than getting tender.

Actually, that's not true. I thought that that was the case and was always confused at the ATK recommendation to brine your beans. But after MK's hard bean issue I researched and found that it's minerals in your water or recipe (or old beans) that cause that to happen.


Does this mean I should be adding Calgon to my beans?!!

Since we've veered away from chicken in this thread...Today I made coleslaw dressing using maple syrup instead of sugar and it was fabulous.
