[elvisload]

great vid!

[econdah]

When I was in college, I was very poor and ate beans and cornbread 5 days a week. Pound of beans, 2 slices of bacon and add water every day. Chopped resh onion. Got me through sophomore year.

[ohsokoolnyc]

I'm about to go on a bean frenzy now.

[chmellen]

I normally look through the beans before soaking.

[InuYashaSapphire]

Theyre healthy for you

[leeleelet]

I liked that smashing the beans trick!! Thank You.

[Beepinsqueekin]

I use a potato mashee to squish my beans to thicken. Love beans and theyre soooo good for us!

[dragonflychainsaw]

always got to have some rice and you season with a smoked ham hock

[PAMELAMHOLMES]

@dragonflychainsaw My parents made it like that and you're right. It's delicious but I opt for a heart healthy option instead.

Awesome video. My Mom cooked Pinto beans all the time when my sister and me were little.She also made corn bread most of the times. that and some sliced tomatoes and buddy you got a meal.

I'm going into the kitchen after i finish this post and put on some pinto beans to soak for tomorrow. Thank You

[zettebda]

thanks Babes, I love all kinds of beans, my favorite is navy and lentils, but I eat them all. Shalom!

[goofyiam]

thank you so much for actually saying how much water is used with how many beans... all the other cooking videos that i have watched, dont even mention that. i really appreciate it! now im off to cooking beans, for the first time... YAY!

[mugsyjeff]

Thank you Pamela for this great video. You have a beautiful presentation. I'm currently harvesting some home-grown pinto beans, their fantastic, you only need to boil them for 15 minutes. cheers from downunder.

Someone who knows how to cook!

[Fielderfarms]

Great video.......Thank you for taking the time to do this.........Craig.

[buckzilla01]

wow I miss my mom's cooking, you freaked me out with those Salmon cakes, i swear I sat down to ham and bean soup, salmon cakes and corn bread many times........ thanks for the memories.

OVERKILL. 3 garlic cloves & 1 teaspoon of salt to boil is all you need. 4 bullion cubes is way too much sodium. Kick ass refried beans: saute diced yellow onions in olive oil til carmelized. Then add strained beans to pan. (oil should pop slightly). stir until hot, add some bean stock juice, heat, then mash a little. Mexican style beans. hint: add some crumpled bacon or steak stock from pan after frying meat.

[Edmart67]

Very interesting all of those ingredients. I never heard of the chicken broth method. My parents taught me to cook beans by 8 years old. I love to cook. Our family method is 1 teaspoon of salt only and 3 whole garlic cloves while boiling. Its easy to remove them later cuz theyre only used for flavor. keep the pot 3/4 full at all times and covered. (covered beans stay pinker.) Then serve with a garnish of green onion (scalion).

[bembele1]

Wow! You are cute. you need your own show..!

[llongoria0]

I use bacon instead of 5 boullion cubes. who use 5 boullion cubes

[PAMELAMHOLMES]

@llongoria0 I choose the boulion cubes because my family is chock full of heart disease. If that is not a risk factor for you, bacon taste great of course. Enjoy!

[shotbyspike]

@PAMELAMHOLMES thanks for this tip

[seanviv2]

@PAMELAMHOLMES i agree... looks delish... i will make them for xmas

[Hoopermazing]

@PAMELAMHOLMES If your family suffers from heart disease, why feed them the bazillion grams of sodium in 5 boullion cubes? I couldn't eat those briny beans.

[Mochahaness]

@PAMELAMHOLMES Maybe llongoria0 said it in a way that may have rubbed you wrong....but honestly boullion cubes are loaded with way more sodium than the other suggestions especially if you are using 4 or 5 of them in one dish. It is plaguing our people of the islands and Africa who have also been taught to season with bouillons like maggi and other brands.

[ddmm12407]

omg that made me hungry! im soakin some beans now...hahahaha. thanks for the video! i like to throw a little real butter in my cooked beans.

[Fielderfarms]

Great Job....Keep up the GREAT VIDEO.........Craig

[shanana000]

I'll try your recipes...but i have to tell you that I love your kitchen....you have great style in decorating...also love the water connection by your stove...how convenient for you. Are you a chef by trade?

[nathuwjohn]

youtube and google:

"LDS Cannery" "LDS Cannery Locations"

you can buy 25lb bags of beans (black, pinto, and/or white beans) for $14-$16. I have sprouted these to make sure they were not irradiated. They are not and you can eat for pennies on the dollar and/or stock up if any disaster hits?? You do not have to be a member of the LDS-it is just like going to the store-very convenient-

Good luck~

**they have other dry bulk foods for sale to: wheat berries, sugar, dry milk, macaroni, flour etc..

Go Head Lady

[mismisse1]

I give you the highest honour and regards. For like me, who has never cooked beans at age 45, this video was very easy to understand and very easy to follow. In the beginning, I thought it was a little timid but after following her instructions it was very easy. You are the best my sista.

[ElShadaiLives]

Great video! Good camera work! I am cooking pintos as I watched this and it makes your video seem like I am smelling the beans you're cooking. =) Love the smile at the end. Thank you.

[elophan10538]

Thanks for the tips on preparing the beans!

And, yes, I envy you for your kitchen! Wow! LOL! Thanks, Pamela!

[fwalker94]

nice kitchen and thanks for the pointers. never seen cornbread from a glass dish, cast iron is the only way to cock cornbread(my 2 cents). thanks again
