This is a great video, but I could've done without the annoying tinkering noises in the background. Wow, really?

Well, you're right, I was doing it all wrong. Tried this recipe and the beans were easily the best since I left home years ago.

What am I supposed to tell my dad that he's been doing it wrong!?

I've been eating a lot of beans for quite a while now, since going vegetarian, and I've been doing it all wrong! Thanks Chow, finally a Doing it All Wrong I might use!

When is CHOW going to make more of these "You're doing it all wrong" videos? They haven't made any since 2010, and this series is the best part of CHOW.

I like this vid quite a bit but I disagree with not discarding the soaking water. Beans have a naturally occurring toxin called lectins which are released into the water when you soak legumes. Consuming beans that have been cooked into their soaking liquid will cause quite a bit of gas and flatulence whereas cooking them into fresh water will reduce those problems quite a bit. But who knows, perhaps he's right in that you'll some of the vitamins and flavour.
