to eat unsoaked cannelini beans?

I am hungover and made a stew. I got dried cannelini beans and boiled for an hour, now they are in the slow cooker with my stew.

Do I have to throw the stew away? I think I messed up, right?

I never soaked the beans. They are white kidney beans, dried. They are soft but not expanded as they would if I had soaked them.

I don't want to die. The stew is delicious though.

I think that should be fine. The initial boil acts like soaking.

Thank you. I just want more reassurance, I really do not want to waste this food.

Nah, you just need to cook them longer.

You'd only drop down dead if it were red kidney and you hadn't boiled them initially for about 10 minutes. (and then death isn't a cert- only if you're really unlucky and get a batch with a high level of whatever toxin is in them)

I am something of a catastrophist, yes.

Welcome to MN. Smile

You may like it more here if you actually engage on a thread rather than run in and do what's known as a bitch plop. An AS shows that's what you've been up to for most of the morning.

When are you back at school?

I almost never advance search users, but after seeing what @sobby49 has been up to this morning I might have to change that!

Hilarious. Great spot @PAFMO Grin
