I'm Cooking Pinto Beans. So, How Long Is Just Right?

Hi, there bean aficionados! I'm on a quest to cook up some pinto beans, but I'm a bit puzzled about the timing. How long do you simmer these beauties to achieve that perfect, tender bite without turning them to mush? Any timing tips or tricks would be a game-changer!

Hey fellow bean lover! I usually simmer pinto beans for about 1.5 to 2 hours—just keep checking until they’re tender but not mushy. Your tip totally rocks, thanks! Happy cooking!
