i put some beans on to soak last night, but now we're going out to dinner

[NMDemDist2]

can they soak another day without ruining them?

[grasswire]

1. crock pot?

How about slow cooking them while you're away? Tomorrow's dinner!

2. That's what I was going to suggest.

Great minds! :hi:

3. they are always better the next day I suppose

guess that means I better get off my @ss and get busy

:rofl:

4. they may start to sprout, I'd just cook them.

I never soak them - have wanted to try to see the difference, but that is the step I always procrastinate :rofl:

5. i did,

I always soak them, helps them be less 'musical'

:hide:

6. Either keep them in the fridge

or crock pot them, preferably the latter.

Keeping them in water for 48 hours can cause some of them to sprout. That's not necessarily a bad thing, but it does affect flavor and texture.

You just don't want them to ferment unless you really know what you're doing.
