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

Good advice but please no salt at the beginning, it doesn't allow food to release nutrients properly if added at the beginning plus this method you prescribed will work will for brown beans, white beans will hardly respond. Better still save up for pressure pot, beans will be ready in 20 minutes max

I guess you can stick to charcoal or wood and a clay pot to avoid risk.

Just know we are not "playing around gas cooker", we are cooking beans with it. And not every one is so afraid of the risk of living or is willing to bear the expense of not innovating.
Why u angry?
Don't call this innovation abeg. Hope u knw innovation na to make smth easier.

No o. I think it is the fear of boiling water to bathe during harmattan. May God see us all through.
Regardless, it is good to learn how to be conservative. Wasting things because we can afford to isn't something to be proud of

Nigerian beans is dangerous to cook and eat straight up.

Pressure pot is the best bet for cooking beans, saving time and gas as well.
My beans cooks in 15 to 20 mins.

I am not angry, lol. Its not like you will come to my house and cook my beans how I'd rather not now. Or would you?

Just that gas and pressure cookers are not as risky as you are making out, and I'd not like the false opinion that they might be to prevail without dispute.

Its like if claimed the earth were square, you need not be angry when you say otherwise. Though, to be honest, you ought to want to come and kick my ass after asking if my school fees were paid in full.

You sabi. I don't know why not many Nigerians invest in a pressure cooker. Saves gas and time.

Pressure cookers don't work well on a kerosene stove I don't think, and most have only recently advanced to gas.

Been using one since mid 70s myself, as grew with ma using one from before I was born. She's what you'd call alaroro. I think that's because we were not wealthy, and she had daughters to feed and pad and not be tempted by pigs. No light in rooms no one's in, and lantern instead of matches. Food on the dinning table without fail though, but god help you if your cutlery is missing.

Same thing. I guess I'm old schooled.

In fact, "pressure pot" is rather new to me, as we called what does look like a pressure pot a pressure cooker.

Sounds like a helluva great mother to me. I didn't know they don't work optimally with kerosene stoves. I wonder why. Isn't it just heat it requires?

She is a helluva great mother.

Bad maintained kerosene stoves if you asked me, because now you remind me, we did use a kerosene stove at times. Had to burn full blue flame though, as yellow flame, which incidentally is a waste of fuel, is not as hot so wouldn't help get the pressure.

So yellow flame (yeah, bad or low-quality stove) failed to produce enough heat to pressurise the cooker. Wow, interesting.
