I want to cook red kidney beans in a shortest cooking time.
How can I cook them?
Should I put them into water before going to office and then cook them in the evening?
What are the required ingredients?

The traditional way to make beans is to wash them, soak them overnight, change the water and boil them for a few hours the next day. This obviously takes a long time and you have to plan ahead. With the miracles of modern science there is a better way. Using a pressure cooker raises the boiling point of the water and decreases the cooking time dramatically. Some recipes call for as little as 12 minutes of cooking time. You can get electric pressure cookers that make this process very simple. Your question "What are the ingredients required" suggest that you may be asking about some particular dish and not just beans? The ingredients in my beans are: beans, onion, and salt. |

@Sobachatina's answer is correct, but I just would like to add this (since you asked the shortest cooking time): in my country cans of red kidney beans are available. These are in some kind of liquid, so you do have to rinse them. Other than that, no work with the beans anymore. They are already soft and ready to eat. To be honest, I'm not even sure the rinse part is necessary, but I just do. |
