Cooking pinto beans can take anywhere from 30 minutes to an hour, but it is often quicker to cook them in a slow cooker. How do you know when pinto beans are done? Pinto beans are cooked by boiling them for a certain amount of time, and then they are drained and mashed. The best way to tell when pinto beans are done is to listen to them sound.
The best way to boil pinto beans is with a pressure cooker. There are many good pressure cooker reviews on the internet that can teach you how to use them. Pressure cookers work by forcing air into a sealed container at a high pressure, creating a hot steam that cooks the food.
While the easiest way to cook pinto beans does involve soaking them, you don't technically have to. This recipe calls for an eight-hour soak before slow cooking, which will allow you to cook the beans in five to six hours. However, if you choose not to soak your pinto beans, you will need to add a few extra hours to account for the dry beans.
