Chef's tips
Check the liquid every hour — beans that dry out in the oven stop softening and stay hard.
Ingredient substitutions
- salt pork → thick bacon, or omit and use oil for a meatless pot
Storage
5 days refrigerated, 3 months frozen.
Common mistakes to avoid
- •Adding acid too early, which keeps the skins tough
