Anything cooked should be refrigerated if not eaten right away. If not people can get sick. What is right away for beans? Letting them cool after boiling is o.k. But another hour or two they have the potential of going bad quickly. Keep them fresh by putting in a freezer bag and getting all the air out.

Yes. Make sure that the beans are spread out in a shallow pan to facilitate faster cooling and cover it. If there is concern that refrigerator can't handle the amount to be cooled, then pre-chill the beans by sitting the pan of beans in an ice bath. Stir the beans to cool them evenly, then refrigerate.

Presently living with an indigenous population in the mountains of a third world country and having the same issue. I've tried leaving re-fried beans out over night and eating them the next day only to regret it. Foul smelling gas, belching all day long and a toilet full of stomach mud. Then I tried cleaning the beans meticulously, cooking them, draining and replacing the water before I liquified and re-fried them... same problem. Regret the next day after letting it sit out all night and eating it.

The only alternative that I've found is to clean them very well, removing all sources of dirt, twigs and rocks before cooking them in salt water.

2-3 Tablespoons of salt per gallon of cooking water. Then after cooking, draining and replacing the salt water with a fresh mixture of salt water and placing them in a clean plastic container with a TIGHT fitting lid. For the women around here without refrigeration and pressure cookers, this is a common practice.

These beans, including black beans, last 5 days, but the salt water must be changed daily.

The salt is effective by killing and disabling bacteria so it isn't able to reproduce and grow.

Salt water is hypertonic to the bacteria, i.e. there's greater concentration of solute (salt) outside the cell than inside, and based on the science of osmosis, the bacteria shrivel up and have a hard time spoiling the beans.

Yes, in fact it is recommended. The sooner they start to get cold, the longer they will last before spoilage.

How much is 100 grams of cooked pinto beans?

I think the question is about how much weight dried beans gain when cooked, but I could be wrong! Most types of dried beans absorb a little under 1.5 times their own weight in water during cooking (ref: http://www.springerlink.com/content/m2p808873j7r276w/). Based on this information, you need to use a factor of about 2.5 on the weights depending on whether you had cooked or dried beans. If a recipe says to use 100g of dried beans and you have cooked ones, use 250g of them. If the recipe says to use 100g of cooked beans, you need to start with about 40g only.
