Oh I've tried a slow cooker a couple of times. I haven't quite figured that out yet because I don't know if you should soak them first if you're going to be cooking them all day while you're gone. Sometimes they fall apart too.
Have any of you done that?

My ideal cooked dried bean is one that is whole and tender through and through. I often like to put leftover cold beans on my salad. Busted up beans don't work well for that.
