Morning Boil-Over
Every morning I cook a pot of beans. Every morning it foams up and boils over unless I catch it and turn the heat way down and stir, stir, stir. It only happens right in the beginning. After that I can turn it up and it doesn't foam.

Cookin' with gas! I miss gas.

This hob is old and well used. And I thank my lucky stars it's gas. I had electric for years, those old spiral coils, and I could never get the temperature right. I wonder what induction cooktops cook like.
24-hours soaking 24 h and changing several times the water helps in reducing foam and time of cooking. It should also wash away fitic acid.

You know, you have a point. Lentils are one of the few beans I don't soak overnight.
You cannot can foods on an induction cooktop. Just sayin'.
