Salt usually helps to tenderize things; I'm wondering if that's not true at slow cooker temperatures or if it's something about beans. Any insight? From:...

Garlic? Would that be hot to you? A lot of snack items are garlic flavored, so I'd think peanuts would be good too. Although, I like them "natural". I...

Pat-n-Paws, Kay, et al., Garlic sounds great! I've never made sweet peanuts....but maybe soy sauce or Worcestershire sauce would be interesting! And pickling...
Well, I've never had salt not soften the beans, but acid will prevent them from softening, such as ketchup or mustard that you might add to baked beans. Also,...
Hi- When you are making baked beans from dried beans it is a very long process-? Soak them overnight, dump the water. Put them in a pot-cover with fresh water,...
I can't wait to hear how all of these ideas turn out. I live in South Carolina and we love boiled peanuts here. Keep in mind that the peanuts become soft,...
I've always been told not to add salt or tomato products to the crockpot until *after* the beans have softened (towards the end of the cooking time). The salt...
I have never had my dried beans turn out hard in the slowcooker - but I never add salt. Maybe salt is the factor. For well over 15-20 years I have not added...
I once had a batch of beans that took 2.5 days before they were ready. It drove me crazy, but they were well worth the wait. The next time I made them ( made...
