    Types of Beans

    Beans Basic Cooking Instruction (and other facts)
      (This web-site skips what I think is the most common way to cook beans: the crock pot.  I
      usually soak my beans in water overnight (unless they are anasazi or lima because they don't
      need presoaking.)  Then I add beans to the crock pot with lots of water (don't let run dry)
      and cook all day.)

    Idaho Bean Fudge
      (I tried this and it works, although it gets
      soft when warm.  I couldn't taste the
      beans but I also couldn't think about it
      too much or I got grossed out.)
