  • Question
    Can I start to cook the beans after they have sorted?

    Yes, but you want to make sure both sets of beans are soft before you mix them together, and they need to be cleaned off before cooking. Simmering beans give them a delicate but moist taste.

    Could I also bake these white navy beans?
    Community Answer
    You could, but they would still need to be cooked or at least parcooked first.

  • Question
    Why are my navy beans bitter?
    Community Answer
    Possibly because of the way you prepared them. Be sure they soak and then cook long enough, and don't be afraid to taste-test and adjust your seasoning accordingly.

  • Question
    How long do I cook them if not soaked first?
    Community Answer
    Start them on high, then bring to a boil and cook for an hour on high. Keep shaking them and add water to keep the level high during this time. Cook on 6 for an additional hour, season and let them boil down. Just make sure they are tender.
