Magnus, I'd soaked the beans for two hours, after bringing them to a boil and moving off the heat. Problem was we assumed we'd need extra water (beef stock, actually) over the fire. Nope.
We just used a slotted spoon to serve them up. Then a cold front came through and the next day we ate bean soup with cornbread. Mmmmm.
My favorite cookware has always been CI, and it's all been used so much that they are non-stick, every one of them. It was the first time in years that I pulled out Grandad's DO, though, since it's strictly for in the fire cooking and we can't do much of that in a wildfire area. But now that we have WLToo's fancy fire pit, we'll be using it a whole lot more.
Mom, Short Friend and Sister-in-law all have birthdays on 18, 20 and 22 Apr. We're planning on a big bash here, so all four DOs will be in use: 2 in the fire pit, one in the oven, and the other on stovetop for the fried chicken. With a family of DO users, we won't lack for folks to tend any of them.
