He said a $1.50 bag of pinto beans could replace a whole pack of chicken, so I soaked them overnight and they still came out crunchy in the slow cooker. On try 3 I finally got them soft, but nobody in my house would eat them plain. What am I missing here, do I need a pressure cooker or is there a soak trick I got wrong?
