It’s a real big slow cooker with 2lbs of beans in it. Feeling nervous about leaving this today while I’m gone…

Shouldn’t. As the beans expand they absorb the liquid. So increase of volume in the beans decreases the volume of the liquid around them.

Only if you disabled the laws of physics.

Are they pre-soaked? They do turn from o to O, and if you have 20000 o going to 20000 O the beans themselves can overflow, even if the liquid is reduced. Have had it happening a few times myself when my belly has been bigger than the pot. Way less of a issue if they are pre-soaked, since the difference between o and O then is smaller.

I thought you couldnt cook beans in a slow cooker because the temperature doesn’tget high enough? If you can then that would honestly be a bit life changing for me

You’re fine. I pack mine even higher when I make red beans with sausage. 🙂

The liquid needs to be two inches from the top. If not, it’ll take a lot longer.

Not if your boxers are big enough
