I can answer this, living in Colorado Springs, Colorado, (5000 ft plus) for the last 18 years and making pintos once a month, for as long! Hint, SOAK, SOAK, SOAK! Also, DO NOT add salt till the very end! I soak overnight, drain and clean (especially before soaking, to fetch any missed stones and pebbles). I cook in cast iron kettle, avoiding aluminum, with a kettle of boiling water on the side, to add to beans, as the water reduces, every 1/2 hour or so, for maybe 2 1/2 to 3 hours total, until they start to thicken. I then add thick cut yellow onions, Hamhocks (smoked), black and white pepper and finally the salt. No other spices for me. To keep them vegan, I avoid hocks and just add a cup of sunflower oil, about 2/3 of the way into cooking time. Mmmmm, I'm gonna make some now!

How do you cook pinto beans in roaster oven?
If you are cooking a lot of beans, let's say about 9-10 cups, you want to put them in a large pot, add maybe a tablespoon or two of salt, and let the beans cook for up to 3 hours. If the water runs low, add more water and turn up the heat just a little. Then you want to let the beans finish cooking by securing the lid and turning the heat off, just leave it on the stove.
