Internet nerds teaching fellow nerds how to cook at home, and make higher-quality food than garbage in a wrapper or a box they're currently wasting money on. In our age of hyperinflation, shrinkflation, and general economic collapse, knowing how to cook at home is more vital than ever.
Share recipes, cooking guides, shopping and savings tips, and let's help our fellow nerds save some mother-freaking money. Feel free to vent about skyrocketing food prices here too. Share evidence of hyperinflation, shrinkflation, etc. when you come across it.

- No spam, porn, off-topic content, hate speech, harassment, bootlicking
- No trolling or obvious troll bait
- Don't make me make more rules

It takes some practice to get the amount of baking soda and cook time down for each bean, as it's slightly different, but if I over cook the beans, I just make a blended bean dish instead of a whole one.
This trick DOESN'T work for hummus, don't bother. If you're making hummus, soak your chickpeas overnight (6-8 hrs, longer is okay as long as they don't sprout) instead. It's hard to nail the texture otherwise.
Someone needs to make a thread on how to cook dry beans. I'd do it but I don't have the knowhow.
