Add Baking Soda

First of all, dry white beans need prolonged soaking (at least 12-24 hours). Adding baking soda to the soaking water speeds up the softening of the legume during cooking, but on the other hand, it impairs the content of B vitamins in the legume and is therefore not recommended.

Use a Pressure Cooker

A pressure cooker can be used to shorten the cooking time. And like chickpeas, here too it is recommended to cook a large number of beans at once and divide them into small portions and freeze.

Remove the White Foam from the Cooking Water

It is highly recommended to remove the white foam that accumulates in the cooking water when cooking the beans. This will help reduce the problematic effects of eating beans on the digestive tract.

Buy Frozen Beans

An option that does not involve cooking, is to buy frozen beans. There’s a rich variety of frozen legumes between them with white beans and red beans.

Use Canned Beans

Another quick option is canned beans, but they are less recommended, as even those that do not contain preservatives contain a large amount of sodium, which encourages calcium secretion and is also not suitable for people with high blood pressure.

Although a set of knives in a wooden block or on a magnetic stripe is an impressive thing and sometimes cheaper, some of the knives will probably not be used at all. For example, a separating knife—its purpose is to separate the bones from the meat. 

It’s advisable to create a personal knife set that will yield the most benefit. It’s important to remember that one quality knife is better than many simple knives. A carefully selected knife is the right hand of the chef and also of the home cook. 

You will be surprised, but it often happens that a recipe in a program on TV, in a cookbook, or on an Internet site seems tempting and easy, and then when you prepare it, the result is unsuccessful, and the reason lies precisely in the knife you used.
