In my Mother’s Mexican kitchen, she never soaked pinto beans and I continue the same. I do however, always check for stones and debris before rinsing. It’s just habit. We kids loved “bean soup” topped with onions and cotija cheese paired with fresh homemade buttered tortillas. Comfort food!
I recently purchased a tortilla press so I can make my own, love fresh tortillas!
@@ShesInLosAngeles that sounds good!
Thanks for sharing!
@donnaleveron5711 my Son's girlfriend gave me one as gift. I haven't used it yet but so happy to have it.
Sorry. I had to take a break before I could hear the rest of your video for the outcome.
It seems that there is almost no difference than if you had used fresher beans only you do need to cook the older beans longer, and that makes sense.
Thanks.❤
Thanks very much
I've always heard if using old beans you've had stored to use a pressure cooker to cook them. It's been awhile and we don't eat beans very often in my house and my memory isn't what it used to be so looked it up on the internet and they agreed that you use a pressure cooker and cook the beans for 30 minutes in the pressure cooker. I sure enjoy your videos and glad you came through the hurricane okay!
That's a great suggestion, I will keep it in mind.
That is a good idea if you have electricity. This is demonstrating how to cook them in an emergency. You may even have to cook them outside on an open fire.
Good evening Calvin and Marie. Enjoyed watching this video. My husband could eat pinto beans everyday. I cook mine in the crockpot but I never soak them. Have a Blessed Day 😊
Thanks very much Sheryl
Doesn't really matter if they're a little tough if you're hungry. Of course we always want our food we prepare to be delicious. Thanks for the video. I had noticed if I store beans a little long they tend to be tougher. Take care.
That's true.
Very informative video !! I never knew about the baking soda !! Will definitely try that !!
Also just a quick question 🙋♀️ … Are the Mylar bags better to use when sealing dry goods than the clear bags ??
Yes 😊 but they cost more and you have to use the oxygen absorbers with them.
@@SouthernCountryLiving thank you for responding !! Didn’t know about the moisture packet either 😂 just may have to redo my beans 🫘 !! Also I’m going to try and fry my cornbread mix next time I make it !! Thank you again keep these videos coming ❤❤ 😊
Thank you VERY much for conducting this experiment and letting us know the process. My Mom used to cook beans using the soaking overnight method, but I didn’t remember the particulars. I also appreciate your mentioning the crockpot aspect: I’ll use the crockpot method then when the beans are fresher. I also recall when Mom made these I liked to put some ketchup over them in my bowl. Not sure how long a bottle of ketchup would last in the pantry, but I think you could either do that or put a can of diced tomatoes in to ‘freshen it up.’ I really, really appreciate your doing this video! Looking forward to more videos where you use some of your prepping supplies, though I do enjoy all of your cooking videos, not just the prepping ones. 🥰👍🏻🌹❤️
Thanks very much
I feel such peace when I watch your videos. God gave you both a great gift, thank you for sharing with us. God bless you always.
Thanks very much
I’ve never thought to add the soda when soaking but if my beans are not to my liking after 2 hours I add the soda and cook another 30-60 minutes, works every time.
I've heard that works also.
Calvin, when you cut into that bag it felt like you were opening a time capsule. 😃 I was thinking back to what I was doing in 2013.
Yes, I also remembered when Marie and I packed them up.
Love pinto beans
Me too
Calvin
The beans look great. I wouldn’t be afraid to eat them. I vacuum seal mine and have cooked 3 and 4 year beans which were just fine. The color may be because the comparison
Was different brands. Think I will go cook today.
Thanks very much
I thought I heard you don’t add salt to the beans when your first cooking them cuz it makes them hard. You can add it after they’ve soften real good and use the rest of your seasonings. That’s what I learned from my late soon to be MIL and quite a few other Hispanic cook I know. It’s worked for me but still takes a long while for them to cook. Good to know dried beans can last for years. Thank y’all.
I've heard that also but I have always added it without any problems.
I don't add salt until they are soft.
That's I was taught, too. No salt and no acid (like tomatoes) until the beans are tender. I've never tried it any other way, because I didn't want ruin a pot of beans! lol
@@TexasBlueBonnet61 That's what I was taught by my Grandmother, no salt or acid until they are done. I am 78 , still cook like Grandma did.
You guys, I haven’t ate supper and you are eating pinto’s in front of me. I didn’t have any doubt about them being good. I trusted pinto beans all my life. They are a life saver. And it doesn’t make any difference when you put salt in them . God bless
I am very interested in that experiment, as I've been storing beans and rice along with other items, but more affordable than alot of stuff is. This video helps us know. Thank you so so much!
You're welcome
i also did corn cakes today with taco soup
Very interesting and good info to know. I hope to watch Marie fry potatoes on a video someday. Thank you two and Lord bLess you. Mary
Thanks very much
They say they found dried food products in Egyptian tombs, apparently still edibe! Deb
I have heard that.
For older beans I would withhold all salt, using half teaspoon of the baking soda in the cooking water until tender, then add salt and other seasonings. Of course, we are supposed to rotate our preps so they don't get so old, but it's good to know from this experiment, what to expect in case we miss rotating any items. I have some navy beans prepped because they are small and hopefully will cook more quickly. If fuel is scarce, we will need to consider how long items need to cook, to conserve the fuel. Hope everyone is doing something in these times, With so many food warehouses burning,(getting close tp 200 nationwide), chicken ranches burning or birds being destroyed due to bird flu, beef cattle dying, etc, etc, food shortages are coming.
Don't forget the dock workers might be going on strike tomorrow. We may find a lot of shortages coming our way.
We do rotate our short term preps but these were intended to be long term preps for 10 to 20 years.
Good evening Calvin and Marie. I had bean on the shelf for a while& cooked them as usual & they never did get soft, had to toss them . Old beans just didn't work for me. Thanks & take care. Sending 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏.
Add baking soda to the cooking water, withold salt until tender, and soak longer than overnight, changing water if necessary.
These held up good in the mylar bag. I even had another bowl of the leftovers today for lunch.
Thank you so much for cook the beans!!!! God Bless!!!!!
Our pleasure!
Hi marie and calivn its ingrid❤👋 this is a great video, you know i do not like the bakung soda in the beans i seem to taste it even the little amount, lol i will jeep that out ..love you both GOD BLESS Y'ALL.❤❤👍👵✝️🙏❤️
I understand. Thanks very much
👋 kids,
Great job cooking the beans and a good review of them.
If you have other beans same age. Cook those as well.
Folks appreciate this info.
Well done.
🤗 🤗
Thanks 👍
Looks good! Now I want some pintos and corn bread.
Thanks very much
Glad to see this....and be back with you two; I missed you the past few days as I live in the mountains of western North Carolina and we lost all communication (including 911!) for 4 days. We were much more fortunate than some folks, however. East Tennessee, Asheville, South Carolina and other areas are terribly devastated.
I'm happy to know the beans I have stashed will be ok! ❤
Wow, didn’t know about the baking soda trick! Thank you for testing them and sharing results. 👏🏼❤️
You are so welcome!
Interesting video. You have inspired me to cook my pinto beans that I have stored in a popcorn tin for 5 years. I might have to cook longer than you since I have electric stove. In my experience gas stoves cook faster than electric. I will let you know my results.
Sounds great! Thanks very much
These beans look amazing. We had green beans with potatoes and ham. /Cornbread we had a throw together cheese cake. Thanks for sharing 🙏 y'all take care God Bless y'all ❤
Sounds great! Thanks very much
❤ Great job on the soup beans. My Mama always looked her beans and soaked them overnight. I have soaked mine but patience isn’t my strong suit. 😂 My cousin who grew up down in the country putting up canned goods etc and is a very good cook, told me you can look , wash beans then put them in a microwave safe bowl with several inches of water over the tops of the rewatched beans and put them in the microwave for about an hour on high. Then finish off on the stovetop. Of course these were not done with beans that had been stored. Mama pressured her soup beans 🫘 a lot of time. We grew up on soup beans with onions, chow chow, squash relish and I knew one man who liked beets in his and other who liked Mayo. (Not for me) The only thing i require for my beans is cornbreqd. Continue to pray for the deve station from the storm. My power did not go off but my siblings did . Some folks still have no power. I don’t know the count of the known dead or missing. I heard that the lovely town of Asheville , NC has been all but destroyed. So much historical areas just ruined. I heard they are expecting another hurry an this week. I pray it is not so. God bless you both. Marie, my old back has flared up again for the past couple of days. I thought of you. 🙏🏻🎁❤️❤️
That was cute Marie when you said "no thanks on smelling the beans 😅 You two are teaching us how we don't have to go without...Mrs.Steve
Our pleasure!
What is the title of your opening video song?
The song is " If That Ain't Love " by Ivy-Rose Lyon
Haha. I've got some that are almost 8 years old.
Lol, we have some butter beans that are the same age. I thinking about cooking a bag of them.
We always soak our pinto beans overnight, always have. This was very informative. Thank you so much.
Glad it was helpful!
Looks delicious! Pinto beans are my favorite. I love cooking them with smoke turkey necks or wings in the crockpot.
Thanks very much
Thank you for cooking those beans. I'm a new subscriber and am really enjoying your videos.
Thanks very much
So happy to see the beans cooked. They look good.
Thanks very much
I had to laugh. My birthday is the exact day on your sealed bag, Feb 28. I have to say, the beans are in better shape than I am 11 years later! It was cute the way Marie let you take the first bite before she would try them.
Lol, I told her that would be the funniest part of the video.
I've also tried the baking soda trick and found it didn't change anything, you still had to cook them longer.
I agree with you.
It needs to go in the cooking water when you begin to cook them to be effective, I've tried it and it worked on some beans I had let get older than I normally would, same beans in water without the soda didn't ever get tender enough, had to toss them.
@@donnaleveron5711 thanks
Great experiment! I’m happy you didn’t need them to survive… Sending best wishes… ❤️
Thank you 🤗
Thanks for the pinto bean experiment. I've never put baking soda in my beans. Also, I don't use salt till after their done. I love all the recipes but wondering how ya'll keep from gaining alot of weight when you eat alot of wonderful comfort food.
good ole beans and fried potatoes.
And corn cut off the cob. Yum.
Love Pintos. Thank you, Calvin and Marie!!Have a Nice week! Take Care!
Thank you! You too!
Great information for saving beans (and cooking them). Thank you!
Thanks very much
So happy your beans turned out so well! I told my husband about your bean experiment and he told me he wants me to make him some beans😀 Thanks for the tips and I really enjoyed watching this video take care and God bless.
Hi thank you so very much I will try the baking soda I appreciate that ok stay safe and blessed until your next video take care
ive never soaked mine, i just cook them in crockpot all night on low
Thanks very much
You both are such a sweet couple. I enjoy your videos.
Thank you so much!
Great Video 👍 Yummy Beans and cornbread . Ty
Thanks for watching!
I always cook my pinto for 6-8 hours cause I never soak mine at all
Glad your experience with cooking old beans turned out successful. I wonder what happens to the nutritional value over time? I have no idea but if this was a must have situation it would be a great idea for survival. I would use turkey ham which is what I use in any dried bean that I cook when I desire the meaty flavor. Blessings to all……..👍
I also wonder if they would sprout if planted.
Thanks very much
I don't know
No Maria what’s missing is the fried potatoes and a hunk of onion and some chow chow
Have you tried to make beans in an electric pressure cooker?
Marie and Calvin you lived threw it 😂😂😂❤❤
Yes we did, lol
Wow-thanks for sharing!
Our pleasure!
If you have instant pot try that. That’s what I use.
Wow thanks for sharing this 😊👍 learn something new for me,good to know and thanks again and God bless you and your family 💗🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
You are so welcome
Hello. Thanks for sharing this video, I'm glad the pinto beans turned out good.
If I'm hungry I will eat them!!!! Great video! Take care. Mrs Lonnie
Thanks very much.
This was a great experiment.. I can't help but wonder what ya'll paid for the one pound of pinto beans back in 2013 versus what they cost in 2024.. Everything cost so much now days.. 😩😖
Thanks very much
Hey y'all,
I'm impressed. Thanks for sharing your feedback on how these are done. Hamhock probably helped. Marie I'm with you on the turnip greens!😊 I also like a slice of onion 🧅. Guess that would come with the fried potatoes!!!!
I just heard you say a slice of onion 🤣🧅🧅.
Blessings 💞🙏
Thanks very much
Comfort food for the fall
Yes
You both are such beautiful warmhearted individuals. Pinto beans one of my very favorite meals indeed. I agree with Marie potatoes and greens sound wonderful to add to the meal. I love cornbread too. And can't leave out that onion too. Thank you and God bless you both sharing such inspiring thoughts and advice with prepping. Love from Ky Sub. I have put leftover cooked beans in freezer for later meals when I had leftover beans. They thaw and reheat well.
Thank you so much!
I've never done pinto beans, but I really have to branch out. They do look really good. I do make baked beans. But instead of going through soaking overnight and then boiling them for 30-60 minutes I put them in the instant pot with water and pressure cook for 15 min. Then I drain, put them in a crock pot add the bean fixings with water to cover and slow cook 8 hrs. It works well. I wonder if the same can be done with other beans.🙂👍👍🇨🇦
I think that you can
Awesome video guys. I like pinto beans a cornbread but I don't think I'd want to eat eleven-year-old beans unless I was starving. Marie, I thought you did not like the beans or pinto beans period. Am I right? Awesome video guys. Many thumbs up. God bless you.
Marie liked them and she ate her bowl with cornbread.
I love beans 😊
Me too, especially with cornbread
Hey Calvin and Marie,
It's so amazing that Pinto Beans can last all those years and still be Edible, again that's awesome.
Thanks for sharing😊❤🙏
Ms. Ruby
Lol I made pinto beans and corn bread for yesterday's Sunday's dinner.🥰
They were delicious, I had another bowl of the leftovers today for lunch.
Good experiment 😊 Enjoyed watching 😊❤ God Bless You Both ❤
Thank you 🤗
Thanks for sharing this. 👍 I figured they would take longer to cook but at least it's an option. ❤❤❤❤❤❤
You are so welcome
Good Afternoon Marie & Calvin,so happy to see this video.That is great they turned out OK.Have a wonderful day.❤
Thanks very much
What a fun and interesting video! Ive coooked soaked beans in the crockpot without any issues. But they were recently bought. Thank you so much for your time and sharing your interesting lifestyle. Marie is just the sweetest lady i know.
Thanks very much
Love Marie’s sense of humor. One hour for each year. I got a good chuckle out of that. Love and appreciate you both and your content.
Lol, thanks very much
The pinto beans look so good. It's good to know they would last that long with the proper packaging. Thank you for the helpful video. ❤
You are so welcome!
What a neat “experiment” and goes to prove that prepping is worth it. An 11 year old bag of beans is still edible and will keep you alive! I’m learning so much about prepping from y’all, it’s become a new interest of mine. We stocked up on quite a bit of food before Hurricane Helene. Thanks for all y’all do. Love Chris & Amanda, Perry GA
Absolutely! Thanks very much Chris and Amanda
So glad you guys escaped the hurricane devastation..my heart goes out to all affected, including you two and family ❤
Thank you so much!
Interesting experiment, it's really good information. My mother loves cooking her pinto beans in the crock pot, but I am like you, I can never seem to get them soft enough to suit me.
Thanks very much
Hey, Cal. Do you recall how much those pinto beans cost 11-1/2 years ago?
No, I don't remember.
i am not a big pinto bean eater but I do like white or navy beans. I'm with Marie. Would love some fried potatoes.
Thanks very much
Love the part about looking for rocks in the Pinto Beans! Are you going to start eating more of your older preps or keep them longer? Cheers!
They are already packed up for long term storage so I'm going to leave them because they will still be good for a lot of years. I rotate my short term storage and use it but not the long term.
That’s interesting that the beans toughened up and needed to be cooked longer. Thanks for sharing!🥰
You are so welcome!
Thank you marie and Calvin your channel is such a blessing for me ❤
Our pleasure!
People need to even plan this way for in case of the flu or a car wreck that puts them off work for 1-2 weeks.
Yes, thanks very much
I've never heard of hot water corn bread. It looks easy to make and really good to eat. ❤ 😋
It really is!
Awesome now we know it works in that package looks delicious ❤
It was! Thanks very much
If you only had those to eat, they would be delicious!
Yes, I enjoyed them and even had a bowl of the leftovers today for lunch
I made pinto beans and cornbread Saturday too!!😊
Sounds great!
You guys sure made them look good. Now I think I'm going to have to cook up a pot of beans cornbread and fried taters😊 God bless. That was a fun experiment, now I know if I get an old bag of beans to just keep on cooking it. I've started cooking my pinto beans in the instant pot instead of 30 minutes. Like they say I cook them for 90 and then a little more if they need it. I don't want a mushy but I do like them tender. My dad called me the other day and said he had fried up some green tomatoes. Sure, made me want a pot of beans now. You guys just polished it off haha
I love fried green tomatoes!
Thanks very much
Hello Calvin and Marie my name is Brenda I live in Sun City Arizona and I was hoping you and Calvin might pray for me I fell yesterday and broke my arm really bad and I could sure use a prayer too I just love your channel especially that song as you know I love the beginning of it I love the whole song so thank you for the beautiful videos and thank you very much for the prayers❤
Good evening Brenda. We will be praying for you and praying that your arm will heal quickly.
@SouthernCountryLiving Thank-you so much, I need all the prayers I can get. I really do. So thx so much I have been praying for everyone affected by the hurricane and was so happy to hear you and your family are safe.
Baking soda takes the residue off the beans by washing the beans in a teaspoon of it. I’ve never heard of baking soda doing anything but washing the residue off of them.
It also make the beans not be as gassy
I absolutely love you two! True love 💕
They look gd to me,im sure theyll b fine
They were good
Baking soda is supposed to take some if the gas out.
Yes it does.
Hello Y’all love your videos 👍
Thanks so much
What is the name of the song at the beginning of your videos? I love it.
If That Ain't Love
By Ivy-Rose Lyon
The song is "If That Ain't Love " by Ivy-Rose Lyon
Ps, 85,000 !!!!!!!
Yes, I'm excited. It has slowed back down to normal now but I'm glad for what it is doing.
Thanks guys
Our pleasure!
Interesting
Thanks
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Thanks very much
Hi Marie and Calvin, reguarding your beans my brother bought the great value pinto beans and they didn’t cook well at all! Some were soft and some were like rock hard!!! My boyfriend Frank had the same problem with the great value pinto beans too. I always buy the casserole pinto beans at Walmart they are GREAT! No problems with these beans I hope your Walmart sells them where you live. Pinto beans only take 2 and a half hours to cook not 4 hours. Remember Casserole pinto beans are the best and I hope your Walmart has them. We’ll have a good day and please keep them videos coming! God Bless you both! Alicia
Thanks very much
