- Let's cook some dried beans in a Dash Mini Rice Cooker.
These small appliances only use 200 watts and are great for cooking in small spaces. They are great for RV cooking, van cooking, car cooking, dorm cooking, hotel room cooking, office cooking, etc. They are small, portable, and light weight so they are easy to travel with. They are also excellent prepping gear. Since they only use 200 watts and cook very fast, they can be easily run off of a generator or solar power station.

I tried this in my mini rice cooker. It turned out great! First I did run it out of water, but since it is a rice cooker it turned off once the water was gone (and without burning and sticking). I added more water and finished it up and it turned out very nicely. Thanks for the idea. Much better for me, as I make such a small amount it is hardly worth cooking on a pot in the stove.
Glad it worked well for you!
I’ve slid the lid over so that it’s not sitting square on the pot and that helped prevent foaming over. One more thing, I always put my Dash Mini Rice Cooker on a dish cloth so if and when it boils over it’s contained, it’s quick and easy to rinse out and the “mess” on the side of the cooker wipes off real easy.
Something people tend to forget is why our grandparents did things how they did. Using a wood spoon wasnt just cause that's what they had or were used to, it was a multipurpose use. They literally stop a pot from boiling over... Also, may be a wives tale but also told that the gas is released in spoon, IDK but I know it saves me a lot of clean up on my stove as I'm prone to accidents. Set it on top of my pot and a tilted lid and works every time and keeps in essential steam.
good to know. thanks
Add a tabl spoon of oil to the water, that will help with the foaming issue.
I have a small 1 1/2 quart crock pot. I got it for $8 at walmart. I cook my beans with lots of liquid but then take out 1/4, mash them into a paste then put back in. It makes the best thick soupy beans. I like mine very soft and cooked with salt pork
I'm glad you tried it before me.
Looks like a hot mess.
I'll rinse out a can instead.
Thanks! ✌️❤️
Soaking in salted water will soften the skins on the beans, making them more stretchy. This will prevent most of the beans from bursting. This results in more tender skins, and beans that are more intact. As a bonus, in a small cooker like this that tends to boil over, the water will be more clear and make a bit less of a mess.
Put beans in the pot last night, drained and rinsed this morning and added the spices I wanted and cooked. Took about an hour and it didn’t shut off so I didn’t have to keep pushing cook. They are delicious. I did have to add more water but that was all I had to do. Love this idea. Going to make some cornbread to go with the beans next time. 👍🏻
You are an angel for compact cooking.
Great idea, I will try this in mine! If you add a little oil to the water that should help with the foaming up.
If you put the lid on at an angle so the pressure is reduced the boil will slow down and the steam will collect on the cooler lid and roll back into the pot as water.
Great video. Thank you for explaining everything fully. Glad I found your channel.
Thanks for watching!
I add various seasonings to my beans while they are cooking but not salt because the salt will prevent them from getting soft. After they are done, I add salt but don't drain them. I let them sit in the salty water, preferably overnight (or longer) in the frig. This allows the beans to absorb the salt. Then I scoop out what I need or drain the whole batch in a strainer. If I'm mashing the beans, I use some of the liquid for that. I haven't tried cooking beans in the Mini Rice Cooker. Just researching appliances that would allow me to make very small batches for one person. Someone on Amazon used two big binder clips to hold the lid tight, with a round cake pan underneath just in case. She said this worked to prevent boil-over.
Good to know. Thanks.
This is a good amount to use for one serving with a meal or to use as refried beans for 2-3 tacos. I make a lot of refried beans, cheese and chopped onions on tacos.
Yes, I’ve been making alot of refried beans also. Yummy. 😁
Really enjoying the easy cook meals for one.
I’m very impressed! The beans look very soft and cooked through! I have IBS so I also need to be careful to soak and cook dried beans thoroughly. I’m about to buy a mini rice cooker to prepare hot meals whilst travelling for a few months. I cannot afford to buy takeaways or restaurant food every night and I really need at least one hot meal a day. I can only last a limited time on noodles and cup-a-soups 😂
Hello there. By now you had your journey but since I travel often and did a stint of life in a quarantine hotel I wanted to share some ideas. Leafside has IBS friendly meals where all you will need is a hot water kettle. I have found a hot water kettle every place on the planet including most trains. I have a travel hot water kettle, food heater but actually sold it (silicone fr/ Amazon). I now travel with a bowl and a cutting board. I also just ask to borrow a cutting knife, done. At least how I travel a multi-volt would be needed as limited places have the 110v the US has and plug adaptors are common, voltage converters not so much, you'd need your own. Anyway there are also yam, bean, sesame drink powders that are sold in Asian grocers in a variety of flavors. I keep them on hand in the US for power outages, brown outs where we have minimal services. I am considering an electric lunch box which I could also plug into my car or use when travelling. Wish I had seen this in case we crossed paths in Hong Kong.
Wow! Those are large pinto beans. They look good. I couldn’t find the Dash rice cooker so I bought Aroma and , I believe, it’s 6 c. Cooked and Dash is only 4 c. Cooked. This helps a lot so I know not to fill too full. 👍 Blessings from Florida 🌴🐢🌺🐊🐠🪸🌊⚡️🌀🚀😎
Love that these have such low wattage that you can cook so many things in them with using just a solar power station and solar power. In an emergency situation if you didn’t have electricity or fuel to cook with a lot can be done with these dash mini appliances. Love your videos they answer a lot of questions about what can be done with these. Thanks for sharing 😀
thanks for watching
I like cooking red kidney beans and others mixed with tomato puree and salt and pepper in my slow cooker overnight for breakfast, to put on hot buttered toast. I must try inthe rice cooker after soakinģthe night prior.
Sounds yummy. I love beans on toast.
Very wise NOT adding Salt to your Pintos before or during cooking....
Reason being is a little bit of Science .....Salt added too early in the cooking process CAN & Usually DOES Result in the Pintos doing what's usually termed as TIGHTEN UP , which is terminology for the Pinto resisting SOFTENING up during cooking process & either the pintos won't or Don't soften much or even at all during Normal cooking time if Salt is added too Early in the process ...Salt should only be introduced AFTER the Pintos have Started to Soften up , Also those who like to add Chunk Bacon , Pork Belly , or Smoked Pig Knuckles should NOT Add Them until LATE in the cooking process when the pintos are starting to soften or " open up " & start to make gravy as it were so the pork flavor will actually soak Into the Pintos , Coz Pork is Loaded with Salt & will cause an undesired tightening up preventing what you are trying to do ... So By all means after the Beans start to " Break " add Salt or Pork products by all means .... CASE IN POINT ....YEARS ( DECADES ) BACK , when I was young , my mother had carefully washed , warmed , rinsed Several times a BIG POT of PINTOS ..... & had let them sit overnight soaking before her final rinse & putting them On To Cook .....She had just brought them to a Slow Boil when a visiting relative eased into the kitchen to snoop around , sampled her freshly started freshly heated No Seasonings added YET PINTO BEANS , & YES , after her sampling them She Vigorously added a liberal amount of Salt without asking saying " it was Tasteless & was BEGGING for SALT ....NEEDLESS to say Mom , who was a Church Lady Almost Lost Her Religion that day over that pot of Pintos & went off on that AUNT about how she just RUINED a HUGE Pot of Her Pintos , & How didn't my AUNT Ever wonder WHY her pintos were ALWAYS so Hard , & then had to cook them for soooo many hour to get them to finally soften up ????? She told her its coz you add Salt Way Too Early you KNOTHEAD .... And I Must say , I tried some when they should've been ready at dinnertime but they were tasteless Hard as a Rock beans you did NOT want to even try to eat yet ......After many hours of simmering , then adding some pig smoked Neckbone & a little more simmering we finally ate them the next day .....They weren't as good as they usually were but they were edible finally ... By the way , my Mother ( not so quietly or calmly ) informed that Sister - in - law of hers ( my Aunt )if she ever took her No Cooking Behind in Mom's kitchen ever again & adjusted ANYTHING Mom would go aboard her head with her # 12 Iron Frying Pan , & She completely meant it ...lol TRUE STORY ...My Dad was sooooo mad over her messing his Pinto Dinner up He Didn't speak to her for awhile , you see , with him Pintos are Equal to Steak , guess you could say he really loved Pinto Peans ...I've seen him , with frozen steaks in freezer rather have 3 to 4 bowls of Pintos with fresh cut onions , tomatoes & cornbread & make that his whole dinner & preferred it ........ So YEAH , ADD NO SALT before pintos start to soften up....👍👍👍😁😁🤗🤗👋👋
Interesting. Thanks!
There's a whole science behind adding salt. For the creamiest beans you should brine them overnight and very salty water and or baking soda, and then dump and rinse before you cook. The salt interacts with the calcium and magnesium in the skin and opens them up to better let the beans absorb water and cook. The only thing I've heard about preventing them from cooking is having acid too early, like citrus juice or vinegar too early in the cooking process.
Really good info to know.
I've only made black beans once and yes put hock's in at the start.. and yes took All day to cook, I just figured Bean's take a long time!
Know I understand so thank you for letting us know this!
Have a blessed day 🌷
I luv this idea! Thanks for sharing.
i agree with what you said, it's all about experimentation! subbed for the great content xx
I'm so excited to come across your channel. I'm to have fun trying to watch all your videos. I'm new at the mini appliances and I want to learn everything I can about them. Thank you so much for this fun channel 🙂
Welcome!
I just found your channel thinking I could do mong beans, success. My next go will be a soaked bean. So much easier than stove top and I already have a smaller rice cooker for grains. Thank you so much!
Yes. Always succinct and clear step-by-step directions.
I love this rice cooker. Use it often for cooking frz veggies, noodles, soups, etc. I always put a dab of butter so if it runs dry, they don’t stick. But since it turns to warm, it’s an easy way to not have to Watch every minute. Plus the wooden spoon trick is very effective on not boiling over.
Perfect size for one or two servings.
All your review demos ate amazing. Particularly when you started with power bank camp cooking. And why I watch your channel.
I cook primarily with all Dash appliances as due to extremely low wattage, I can run several at once and not trip my circuit breakers.
Thanks, so much help
It’s a great extra cooker to have. Now I want split pea soup!
❤just found you, great tips. Thank you for sharing. Blessings.
Welcome!
I have an mini multi cooker from kanbrook main power 240 volts and uses 210 watts, ideal for an single meal. I will soon do an vlog on all the products that i cook with.

Hi.If you have a splatter screen like they use on frying pans that could possible help.
I think a crock pot is better suited to cook beans. A small crock pot runs about 10 bucks at Walmart or target and probably should be part of any counter cooking arsenal. I have ribs in my small crock pot right now and they smell fantastic. 😋
Yes, crock pots are good for cooking beans. However, I have found that they take much longer to cook beans since they are designed for slower cooking. The point of this video is that the Dash Mini Rice Cooker is capable of cooking dried beans.
Crock pots are great. However, they take a long time and usually use higher wattage. The Dash only uses 200 watts.
Place a wooden skewer under the lid, almost to the edge, carefully replace lid and the water will last a lot longer and beans will cook faster,,,,,
I usually make beans in the Instant Pot but I am going to try my rice cooker now.
Wonder what would happen if u used the Stanley pot in the rice cooker to make the beans?
I use my mini cooker for rice and steam vegetables only. My beans I put in a small pressure cooker, no need to soak overnight.
I’ve not tried beans yet. I want to try for sure now as I love beans soups.
Thank you for sharing!
I have dehydrated refried beans, you don’t have to soak them, straight to the cooker same amount of beans as water and they’re delicious, they’re freeze dried and not very expensive, that’s if you want to speed the process.
Cool, thanks for all your experiments with mini appliances. Perhaps using your camp in the rice cooker would work better for you. You could do a larger volume & therefore the tendency to boil over will be lessened.
dude~yeaah~ excellent recording, 👌
Try putting a mini wooden spoon in it to help stop the over boiling
If you are on a budget the 1 pound bags of dry beans at Walmart is 1.00.
Does the rice cooker go until you unplug it or do you have to keep restarting it? This is such a good idea for a single person.
A rice cooker stays on cook until the liquid inside of it evaporates. When the liquid evaporates then the temperature rises above the boiling point and the appliance clicks off from cook to warm.
@@CounterCooking thank you for getting back to me.
Love your recipes
Glad you like them!
Smart! Looks yummy!!
I wonder if this would work on my cheap KORO rice cooker. It only work for 20 minutes before it shut down
Usually a rice cooker doesn't shut down until enough water is evaporated to make the temperature rise about boiling point.
@@CounterCooking Yep turned out it was total sh*** , Bought a real japanese one
The mini rice cooker is not designed to cook beans, as you may have noticed that when cooking rice your water evaporates as it cooks.
It’s not designed to cook many things that it is able to cook. Same for all of the mini Dash products.
Very little evaporates, the water is absorbed by the rice.
The book that came with it shows several things it can cook , not just rice. It is really just a heating unit with an inner pan to cook in, that shuts off when it reaches a certain temperature (which happens when there is no more water left in the pot).
All the rice cooker is designed to do, is boil water, and if the temperature of the container goes over 212° f, it's designed to click to warm. Even cooking rice, if you don't rinse it, it will boil and bubble like this.
Nice video.
Thanks for your cooking show can you give me the total hour you cook
Continued the total amount of time you cooked the beans
Just cook the beans until they are as soft as you like them. I like mine really soft but other people don't so it's really just your preference.
I do not like my cooker for the reason the water spews out!
Is it mandatory to soak the beans overnight? 🤔 🤷🏻♂️
soaking them greatly reduces the cooking time and removes alot of the phytic acid present in the beans. without soaking them, they take alot longer to cook.
How do you keep rice cooker from shutting off mine always goes to warm in 30 min
A rice cooker goes to warm when its temperature increases above the temperature of boiling water. that’s how it knows when the rice is done and that’s how it doesn’t burn food. so make sure there is enough liquid in it.
If you soak over night…soak in the fridge. Beans spoil overnight. We don’t want bubble guts.
they don’t spoil overnight. always discard the soaking water and rinse the beans until there are no bubbles.
Depends how cool your kitchen is.
I hope you soaked them in the refrigerator over night. It's okay to soak for an hour or so, but not overnight on the counter top. The reason is that beans are a protein and proteins grow foodborn bacteria. And cooking while kill the bacteria, but the metabolic byproducts of bacteria are also not good for you.
People have been soaking beans at room temperature for THOUSANDS of years. Nobody has gotten sick from them. Refrigerators have only been in use for the past 100 years or so. Don't believe ridiculous lies from the internet.
@CounterCooking There are plenty foods that are perfectly fine without refrigeration. Refrigeration just helps them last longer. I don't have a refrigerator. I live it hot climate. I'm healthy . 😊✌️
Delicioso 😋 Gracias
Don't think it is worth the time with dried beans, maybe brown some sausage in the cooker then add can of Ranch Style Beans + Hot salsa to heat up, could probably have that meal ready in 20 minutes.
This could have been a 3 min video easy
And your rude comment could have been non-existent.
Like your attention span?
