is there any other way of cooking kidney beans without any overnight soaking?
also, how long will it stay fresh in the freezer?
Thx for making this incredible site. I really fo appreciate it and im sure others do too
May ALLAH bless you
Yes, you can simply soak them
Yes, you can simply soak them for a few hours (about 2-3 hours). The overnight soaking helps them cook faster the following day, so it ends up saving a lot of time. And yes you can always freeze the beans in an airtight container and just run some water through them to thaw them out whenever you need to use them again. They should easily keep well for about 4 weeks frozen. Thanks so much for your lovely dua and message. 🙂
