Chef's Notes
Treat your beans with the respect of a monarch. Black beans from last year require a longer soak, so never skip the overnight hydration unless you enjoy chewing on gravel.
Pro Tip
Save every drop of that starchy bean cooking liquid! It is liquid gold that helps transform mashed beans into a silky, glossy masterpiece rather than a dry tragedy.
Kitchen Catastrophe Warning
Failing to watch the frying pan while mashing will lead to a violent, bubbling volcano of black bean puree that decorates your kitchen walls in a stylish, permanent avant-garde splatter.
The Jester's Corner
Royal Court Comedy
Oh, how noble of you to spend four hours turning a humble bean into a slightly smushed pile of mush. My deepest respects to your patience.
The Culinary Science
Soaking beans in salted water helps sodium ions exchange with magnesium and calcium pectin in the bean skins, weakening them so they soften evenly without bursting.
