I just made the best beans I ever tasted and the texture is perfect too. I pureed them for refritos and they need nothing added to be heaven.

Also almost the simplest ever too. All I did: overnight soak with salt, cooked at a low simmer for several hours, run through the blender with the cooking water and a couple tablespoons more, blend blend blend until it is as smooth as sour cream.

Small red beans.

I'm in paroxysms of yum.

Thank you!

My main failure mode with cooking dry beans is to do it at too high a temperature, but the new stove downstairs has a far more controllable burner than any of the upstairs stove's, so I'll use that and probably a heat diffuser and hope for the best.
