Tip

Fresh white beans taste best with it. Soak them in water one day before and cook them the other day in a pressure cooker with a little water for about 12 minutes. Then they are nice and soft and can be processed further. If it should go fast, then white beans from the can. However, these are a little too soft. If necessary, adjust the baking time and use less liquid.

I take dried white beans and cook them myself, because then the consistency of the beans is better for baked beans and toast. Put the dried beans in cold water a day before. Cook the other day, preferably in a pressure cooker, for 10 minutes.
