beans for 50 in a roaster
Kristie
12/08/08 		I am going to cook pinto beans for a party. My mom recommended that i use my giant Oster roaster.

She could not, however, tell me the temp to use or how long it would take.

For 50 people she recommended 6 cups of beans and 12 cups of water?

Input would be greatly appreciated.

You need to presoak the beans for best results. You will be adding liquid throughout the cooking process.

Thanks.
