quick query about haricot beans

[flimflammum]

Dried haricot beans: on the packet it says to soak overnight. We've only soaked them for about four hours, then they're to go in a casserole. Will we get stomach ache?

Thanks foodies!

Not sure, but I owuld soak them as long as it says.

would definitely soak for as long as they say. Also, check whether haricot beans need 10 minutes vigorous boiling before they can be simmered - some beans do in order to destroy toxins in their skins.

thanks! DH googled and did a quick boil them simmer, and we've survived!
