Just so that no one dies of kidney bean poisoning over the hols. It's boiling that you have to do , not the soaking.
In the eighties people used slow cookers to cook them, which didn't bring them to the correct temprature to kill 'poisons' (?) in them.
Vegetarians and chilli eaters where dropping like proverbial flies !
The vegetarian equivalent of the puffa fish???

I find that pressure-cooking them first and then sticking them in the slowcooker works exceedingly well.
Regarding pressure-cooking resulting in overcooking, it's not an experience I've had. I've relied on Lorna J Sass's 'Great Vegetarian Cooking Under Pressure' and use a latest model Duromatic cooker. Everything has come out extremely well so far, probably because I've been paranoid and followed the instructions to the letter
Food chain? Well, if you're buried, the worms'll get you, so it all depends on your point of view
Like marmite and vegemite - husband loathes them. Strange man.
