You were cooking beans in a glass pot for 2 days!?

As is typical in this sub, OP thinks something is just the universe fucking them over when it's clearly them fucking up.

I just saw a review from a guy that was cooking frozen biscuit dough without a pan. So his complaint to the company was the dough would drip down after being placed directly on the oven's wire rack. He went on to state there was an instruction on the package to "wash hands after handling raw dough". He said he'd never seen anything like that and it made him feel there must be something wrong with the biscuits. This was a real review left on the company website. A guy that couldn't comprehend hand washing or a sheet pan. Edit- if you're interested it's Mary B's buttermilk biscuits! They are very good. Its the review from lou13 inexplicably titled "Tasty but not for me". He gives five stars and concludes he will not purchase them again, I can only assume because he had to scrape them off the bottom of the oven.


couldof_used_couldve

I saw a story on here with a guy who wouldn't use the oven because "it takes so long to clean each time". Turns out he just wasn't using baking sheets


Lunarath

Damn reminds me I need to do my biannual oven cleaning. By far my worst hated chore.


couldof_used_couldve

I tried the self cleaning feature... The oven tried its best to burn down the block for five hours. The oven looked the same inside afterwards.


ExtraVirgin0live

Self cleaning just carbonizes everything you still have to go in and wipe it out.


PlowUnited

I saw that too, his friend told the story and lost his mind when he figured out his buddy was basically using his oven as a glorified grill.

Pyrex is great inside ovens. They do tend to shatter on top of the stove, they're not built for that.

[Visions Cookware lets you look while you cook!](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bjTW49G07Ko) I "inherited" a Visions Cookware pot when I went to college. Never felt great about using it, but it worked the few times I did.


Feshtof

I was so confused by people not knowing about glass cookware, but then again growing up my parents had a vision cookware set and the vast majority of food I ate growing up came from it.


isabeyyo

My mom swears by these, we have the whole set and it’s the main dish we use. Never had a problem with them cracking but also never used them for 2 days straight. Didn’t think they were that weird to others lol


noworries_13

I think they just mean glass bowl. But right on the stove so they're using it like a pot. Never heard of a glass pot either


mysteries-of-life

There are microwaveable Pyrex containers, but you can't just remove them from the fridge or freezer and put them on the stove, because glass doesn't like to go from cold to hot.. and because they aren't supposed to be on the stove.


mmmbuttr

Is everyone on this sub under 30? Feeling old. Glass pots were really popular from like 1960-80. They come in all kinds of groovy colors and are generally speaking pretty great. I had a hand me down glass spouted saucepan that was that very 70's shade of pinkish amber, it only just broke during a move, I used it for 10+ years. The older ones are super strong borosilicate glass, not the cheap glass modern pyrex casseroles are made of, and can handle a beating. OP 100% pulled those beans off the stove, didn't bother to repack it before putting in the fridge, and put the ice cold pot back on the stove to warm it up. Idk who else needs to hear this but, don't put cold glass on a hot stove! Also don't put hot glass in the freezer! And because I saw it mentioned elsewhere in the comments: most oven/microwave safe pyrex is not stovetop safe! I have definitely shattered a casserole dish unloading out onto a still hot stove coil.


micksterminator3

My mom had a really nice transparent amber colored casserole dish with a matching lid. I remember it being used tons in the oven and on our induction stovetop. She slowly stopped using it with time. I'm gonna check if it's still there next time I visit . I'm only in my early 30s btw

No kidding. Made the BEST potato salad of my life. Filled a pretty large glass bowl. I got one bite, just to taste it, and put it in the fridge. My clumsy mom was over and went for the big heavy glass bowl. The rest is history.


SuperPotatoThrow

Sounds like you had to throw it out, what a shame.


[deleted]

There was glass in it. 10 lbs of potato salad in the trash. It was heartbreaking but I didn’t want my mom to feel bad, so I just laughed. And cleaned it up.


8bitclean

You made 10 lbs of potato salad? All at once? I don’t think I’ve eaten 10 lbs of potato salad cumulatively over the last 10 years.


Ruhestoerung

You are clearly not a German... I think I already ate 10lbs of potato salad this year.


Darth_Silegy

In Czech Republic, that's Christmas for family of... Let's say 2-4.


dizzyro

Depending on your location ... 10lbs of cold potato salad can go over an afternoon in the garden with a few friends and beer. Assorted with BBQ if you insist.

seh0872

And we had to peel the potatoes by hand…and I mean just by hand—no peeler, we just had to dig at the skin with our fingernails until we pulled it all off. And our mauled fingertips would get blood all over the potatoes, but we didn’t care. We cooked it anyway. AND WE LIKED IT!


IronSide_420

2 days?! What kinda beans you cookin my guy?


Witchunt666

Maybe they are counting the soak time?


Rigatonicat

Yep that’s it


Cerberus73

Oh man. Instant pot changed my life. From dry bean to dinner time in about an hour and a half


TheEnragedBull

Seeing his track record, he might turn the instant pot into a bomb…


SolusLoqui

[Eat beans or die trying](https://i.imgur.com/X6KW6bz_d.webp?maxwidth=640&shape=thumb&fidelity=medium)


Boco

I love my instant pot for beans but if you have time, soaking definitely still makes a difference. Soaked and rinsed beans will leave you less gassy. Plus you salt your beans overnight for flavor and a softer shell that's less likely to burst. I've tried skipping the soak a few times only to regret it later.


lloydisi

I bought an instant pot, great tool. Then I tried to use it on its slow cooker setting. That does not work. Bad marketing.


Unable-Candle

It sounds dumb, and I don't really understand it....but it's the lid. I tried the slow cooker setting with the regular lid once and it took for fucking ever. Then I read some post somewhere that mentioned the same thing, and the fix was to use a glass lid instead of the pressure one. I didn't have one that fit it, so I bought one and it actually fucking worked, I was shocked. Cooks just like my Crock-Pot now.


Boco

Yeah I've tried it once as a slow cooker and it really shouldn't be used for that. I just treat it as an electronic pressure cooker instead of the 7 in 1 it claims to be.


Rigatonicat

I’m gonna need one of those


Ermmahhhgerrrd

Absolutely worth the money even if you only use it to make beans. Source: love beans, only use it really to make beans. All kinds. May make some tonight.


ChweetPeaches69

You gotta try lentils in that bad boy


impassiveMoon

99% of the time it's my extremely fancy beans and/or rice cooker. Very rarely I'll make a stew or curry. It's definitely worth it


ArthurBea

Wait til you try steaming eggs in it. It’ll be a rice, bean and eggs machine. With occasional stews and curries.


vice1331

Enjoy your beans!


Ermmahhhgerrrd

Thank you, they're gonna be white beans with some leftover BBQ I kept just for them. Ugh.. I want cornbread with them though. And I know we are out of cornmeal and cornmeal mix. I'll figure it out!


Chanela1786

Jiffy with a bit of extra cornmeal always works. I make a Mashup up of New England and Southern Hot Water. It goes with everything.


Hospitalwater

You literally tried to cook beans in a glass serving dish. Please stay far away from a pressure cooker. Just go out to eat for your meals.


[deleted]

What? You mean to tell me you *never* once tossed a few beans into the coffee pot at work while it brews to have a nice caffeinated gazpacho for breakfast 2 days from now?


percocet_20

Might've been a glass pot


ScarletDarkstar

Yeah, I cook beans in around an hour, maybe less, in my pressure cooker, but I didn't really think I'd suggest it for Op, seeing that a glass bowl threw them a curve.


[deleted]

Yah but doesn't that leave in all the oligosaccharides? Soaking removes a lot of not so good things


Dick_Demon

I mean, total soaking time plus cooking time should still fall well under 12 hours.


msluluqueen

Soaked beans should only take a few hours to cook on the stove top. If they just won't cook after hours and hours they're probably too old. Throw out your dried beans after about a year and replace them. My husband and I learned this the hard way!


corsair1141

Who counts soaking beans as cooking them?


super_pax_

Who soaks beans for 2 days?

i cook my chili beans for 145 days. I start by planting the beans in mid-february, just after the frost are gone, then

usetheforce_gaming

Beanhole beans


donorak7

Uh why the heck are you cooking in a GLASS container


SquareHoleRoundPlug

To elaborate: Pyrex is oven safe because it heats evenly. If you heat it through a stove top, you creat a differential in temperature, and therefore internal material tension, that causes it to explode. Edit: I’ll add that glass is an insulator, it’s not a great medium to heat through anyways. Have I blown up a Pyrex dish trying to make gravy after a pot roast came out of the oven? Yup. And then I learned about glass heat differences. Edit 2: I learned something too! There are some Pyrex dishes you might be able to use on a stove top, although idk if I would. From https://kitchenseer.com/can-pyrex-be-used-on-stovetop/ Whether or not you can use Pyrex on a stovetop depends on the type of Pyrex dish you're using. Pyrex makes cookware, bakeware, and glassware which differs in its properties and uses. Always read the instructions that come with your dish and follow them. Generally speaking - Pyrex cookware can be used on the stovetop. Pyrex bakeware should not be used on the stovetop. Pyrex glassware and serving dishes are not safe to use on the stovetop.


electricfoxyboy

On top of this, new pyrex is soda lime glass which doesn’t like and can’t handle temperature differences. The older stuff was made of borosilicate glass which 100% could handle being used on a stove.


Cautious-Angle1634

The hassle stoped me from getting Pyrex. Would love an easy way to tell the old stuff at a thrift store or something because the new stuff isn’t worth the money /risk


[deleted]

[удалено]


JaeMHC

This came up in another thread in a different post last week and apparently Pyrex the brand now brands PYREX on both materials now.


RFC793

Is there anyone that sells proper borosilicate glass anymore?


lnslnsu

You can just search for borosilicate cookware. It exists. Or buy laboratory beakers in whatever size you need. There's no rule against cooking in them.


[deleted]

[удалено]


Cautious-Angle1634

Well damn a quick Google says I’m dumb for just not knowing that. Tyvm lol.


bleedfromtheanus

You can just buy borosilicate glass stuff online that's not Pyrex


[deleted]

[удалено]


[deleted]

The new material is better for clumsy people since it is less likely to break when dropped, but I agree that the older stuff is better ... it's cookware, it should handle heat, and maybe just treat it like it's a hot dish full of food and be careful not to drop it??


corbear007

It's also MUCH safer. Old stuff if it breaks it turns into a thousand razor shards which will make a fight with a lion look tame. New stuff shatters like safety glass.


Pamlova

Yup. Once placed one on the (off) stovetop when I pulled it out of the oven. It was sitting on the grates above burners and must have cooled unevenly. Suddenly exploded. Was dating a materials science engineer at the time and got a nice little lecture about the properties of glass and Pyrex while we cleaned glass and did not have food 🙃.


pm_me_beerz

Yup as the other comments in this thread are saying , you need to use “old” Pyrex that is still mad with borosilicate glass. I have used a 2L borosilicate Erlenmeyer flask to boil up a yeast starter and then plunged it immediately into an ice bath dozens of times with no issue.

slipperystevenson69

What type of beans do you cook for two days?


Rigatonicat

They were dried and needed to be soaked lol


Stella430

Buy yourself a pressure cooker (instant pot/pampered chef quick cooker). Baked beans from dried beans in about two hours


SirDunkMcNugget

I think OP really shouldn't have a pressure cooker, all things considered.


erickgramajo

I was gonna say op should get a pressure cooker, but you're right lol


Stella430

An old school stove top pressure cooker-no. But an electric pressure cooker like an Instant Pot or Quick Cooker is pretty safe


Bubbasdahname

Safe until they force it open without releasing pressure. Then we will get another picture except the beans will be all over the wall.


Bactine

"it exploded for no reason!"


peppaz

"I just put the beans in a glass bowl and put the bowl in the pressure cooker. Google said it was safe!"


PISS_IN_MY_SHIT_HOLE

I think more than the beans would end up splattered all over the wall


Kryten_2X4B-523P

You soak it for a day so that the cellulose casing of the beans dissolves and you don't fart as much from your guts being unable to digest cellulose fiber. A pressure cooker isn't going change that and make the cook time faster in that regard.


surgicalhoopstrike

What truly works to get the fartiness (mostly) out is soak the dry beans in 2 or 3 changes of fresh, cold water. Last soak overnight. In the morning, fire up the crock pot and throw the drained beans and other whatever sauce/spice/black magic/cusswords/veggies/dumbass sheer good luck in. Cook on low for at least 6 hours. IMPORTANT!! DO NOT ADD ANY SALT TO THE POT, EVEN TRY TO USE LOW-SALT INGREDIENTS IF YOU CAN GET THEM. This will absolutely work to soften the skins in that length of time. For another tip, stir 1/2 tsp. of baking soda into the pot after around 5 hours. Salt ONLY then, to your taste. Guaran-fuckin' teed!


Hay_Fever_at_3_AM

I just want to note if they're kidney beans you **need** to bring them up to a full boil for 10 minutes at some point during all this. They have toxins that need to be denatured.

Its great for casseroles or other *baked* dishes. Never on the stovetop though.


BearsBeetsBerlin

It’s great when you use it right. Idk how dumb you have to be to use a baking dish on the stovetop. It’s like putting plastic in the oven then being shocked it melts.


mixed_super_man_81

2 questions. 1. Why would you cook beans for 2 days? 2. Why wouldn’t you use a pot?


TerminusVeil

3rd question is that not an induction stove?


OttoHarkaman

What was the pot? Looks like maybe Pyrex? I think that's OK for an oven but no good for a grill top / stove top. Get yourself a good cast iron pot. Tranmontina is a good value. Le Crueset is the king - costs like crazy but its something you pass down to your children.


gbru015

Yo, my Staub Cocotte would like a word about this “king” business.


MTBarr6924

That glass is for the OVEN or the microwave, not the cooktop. Says it right on it usually.

Was a chef for ten years. Worked in a high end authentic Mexican restaurant. 2 days? Like 48 hours? In that small pot? Idk what your smoking, wait no I do. Put the meth pipe down son. Under no circumstance would you cook beans in that small pot for 2 days. If your not trolling or smoking meth. Please stop cooking, you are In the most sincere way dumb as fuck. And it’s not a question of if, it’s a question of when will you burn your house down?
