I once fed my “fast beans” to a friend who hated beans. He asked for seconds. I didn’t tell him the secret. He thought I was a sorcerer. You can be that sorcerer too.
One last pro tip: Cook a double batch. They freeze beautifully. Then you have instant emergency beans. Because life is too short for hard beans. And too short to wait all day for dinner.
So go ahead. Grab that bag. Add the pinch. Set the timer. You’ve got this. And remember: beans don’t have to be bullies—they just need a push.
