Will pinto beans spoil if left out over night?
Potentially hazardous food should not be left at room temperature for more than 2 hours. Less time is better. If you know that the product temperature was in the 140°F to 70°F range for 2 hours or less, then the food should be OK. If you have no idea how long the food was in that range, then you are putting everyone who eats it at risk for food poisoning.
Most pathogenic bacteria thrive at the same temperatures we like. Some of them form toxins that are not destroyed by heating.
People constantly ask for some type of verification that the food they eat will not make them ill. That is nearly impossible to do without bacteriological and chemical tests, so all we can do is provide guidelines, like:
* Handle food in a sanitary manner (wash hands, clean & sanitize food-contact surfaces, protect from cross-contamination, package & store properly) * Keep potentially hazardous food either hot or cold and cook and reheat thoroughly, and * Use it within a reasonable time. In the end, you are responsible for what you feed yourself and your family. This adage has truth to it: When in doubt, throw it out.

How do you cook pinto beans at high altitude?
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!
What are the quick soak instructions for dry pinto beans?
Sort and rinse the beans. Discard any beans that are shriveled or cracked.
Add the beans to a large pot and cover them with water. The pot needs to be big enough to allow the dried beans to expand three times their size. You will need 6 to 8 cups of water per pound of dried pinto beans.
Boil for the water three minutes and remove the pan from the heat.
Cover the pot and allow the beans to sit for 1 to 4 hours, depending on how much time you have. One hour is enough time for the beans to soak, but more time can reduce how much gas the beans produce.
Discard the soaking water.
Rinse the beans one more time and then proceed to cook them as normal.
