Â* Do you soak them overnight or use the "quick-soak" method ? I'm at
around a thousand feet elevation too , have no problem at all with any
kind of bean taking excessive time to cook . Crock pot or stove-top , I
get tender tasty beans in the time called out on the package . I think
tomorrow we'll have some field peas and ham for dinner . Weather is
getting cooler and that just sounds good to me - along with fresh hot
cornbread . Got a bunch of Red Rippers (blackeyed are just one of many
varieties) still in the shells ... and more ripening out in the garden .
