I'd like to use dried beans more often, but every time I've cooked them in the past they wind up having a different texture than canned beans. I follow all the directions involving soaking and not adding salt and all that, but they always turn out the same. Kind of gritty I guess? They never seem as good as canned beans but dried ones are cheaper. Am I doing something wrong or do I just have to deal with it? :(

I use beans for all sorts of things, soups, chili, etc. Maybe I am just not cooking them enough then...I cook them for the time suggested and they are soft I guess and break apart easily but yeah have that chalky texture. Will try boiling the poo poo out of them. Thanks!

Rosemary and thyme, or a little bit of parsley.
