for example red kidney beans or chick peas, they must be soaked in plenty of cold
water overnight before cooking them. Drain and rinse them thoroughly, then place in a
large saucepan and cover with fresh cold water. Bring to the boil and continue to boil
rapidly for 10 minutes, uncovered, then drain before using in Slow Cooker recipes.
This destroys any natural toxins in the beans or peas.
Pre-soaking is not necessary for lentils, but they must still be boiled rapidly for 10
minutes.
Canned beans can simply be drained and rinsed, and added 30 minutes before the
end of the cooking time. They do not need to be boiled first.
Do not eat uncooked beans, peas or lentils.
