Ever since the price of cooking gas and even kerosene and charcoal skyrocketed many Nigerians have dumped beans cooking but instead opted for buying cooked beans from vendors because of the high consumption of the fuel used in preparation of it.
But thank God for this brief method that help in saving gas efficiently.


Let me share with you how it works so that you too can also give it a try...

Picture1 shows how it starts:- You rinse your beans and pour it in your pot with water and add adequate salt and lit it on your gas.

Picture2 shows that the beans is boiling on the gas and then after you turn off your gas and leave the beans in the boiling water for some minutes.

picture3 after leaving the beans for some minutes and the boiling water is becoming warm then you on your gas again and allow it to bring again for about 5min and then you off your gas again.

Picture4 is that last stage as you can see the beans is already done and ready to consume but if you wish to cook it as porridge you can add all the necessary ingredients and cook till completely done
There's no disadvantage in preparing your beans this way but you will have to be close to keep watch and save your gas so that it will give you the most preferable result

THANKS AND I HOPE YOU GIVE IT A TRY

What kind of beans are we looking at? Beans have different types. There is one that takes 2 hrs to be properly soft.

That's optional. If you want to parboil then it's your choice. It'll only reduce the taste of the beans, I hope you get me right

This brown beans is almost like rice in terms of cook-to-soft time.
Cooking of beans only have 1 objective and that is to get it 'done' and this method can be applied to every type of beans because I've tried it on different types both big and small and brown and white.
Just boil and keep and boil and keep you'll see it'll get done and it'll help in saving gas

You don't boil beans in salt water @op. Salt is the last thing you add when cooking beans. Otherwise it will lose all the extra nutrients it came with.

Your pressure cooker might not be as pressured as mine.

It continues cooking for about 30 minutes after you switch the gas off.

5 to 10 minutes max for mine, not counting boiling the water first.

It does depend on how hard or soft you like your beans of course, and the conditions of your seals.
