So...who knows how long (centuries, eons, years, months, what?) it takes to
cook these babies in a crockpot? My son says to put some lard (oh, great) and
"other seasonings" (whatever the hell that means) in the crockpot with them and
then it takes forever for them to cook.
I bought a 12 lb bag of pintos at Sam's and am planning on a test run before he
comes home so any clues would be appreciated.

Muchas gracias!
