How long do you boil white beans?

Answer 1

raw about 10 to 15 minutes. Steaming.. about 15 to 20. canned ,precooked 5 min in boiling water, less if you like em crisp.5 to 7 if you steam. canned have a tendency to already be beyond the crispy stage. trial and error with the canned stuff. go with your prefference. check as you cook.

You can also cook them southern style. That is, for about 45 to 90 minutes. If your sense of smell is good enough you'll notice the change in smell of the beans. Also they will taste buttery. It never hurts to add some onions, pepper, and chopped country ham to the pot while they cook.

Answer 2

First, soak them overnight, or boil them for two minutes then let them sit in the hot liquid for up to six hours.

Then drain the liquid, re-cover the beans with two to three inches of fresh water, and bring them back to a boil over low heat. Simmer the beans over low heat , checking often, until they are just cooked through and tender. Don't cook them too long or they will explode and get mushy.
