Chef's Notes
Pinto beans require patience, so never rush the simmer or you will end up with crunchy disappointments instead of creamy perfection.
Pro Tip
Always taste for salt at the very end of the cooking process so the beans absorb the seasoning evenly without hardening during their simmer.
Kitchen Catastrophe Warning
Failing to check the water level during the three-hour simmer will result in a charred, smoky mess of burnt bacon and ruined beans that smells like a medieval defeat.
The Jester's Corner
Royal Court Comedy
I suppose the beans enjoy their overnight soak in the pot; it is certainly more relaxation than I get in this drafty palace.
The Culinary Science
Soaking dried beans breaks down complex sugars that are notoriously difficult for the human digestive system to process, making them much easier on your stomach.
