If so then it may be your slow cooker? When I soak the beans overnight then cook them for 12 hours they turn out well. I sure don’t want you to waste the beans either! I might suggest cooking the beans conventionally – following the package directions but I’m hoping that it may just be you need to soak them.

We bought a decent sized batch of Navy Beans and attempted to cook them in the slow cooker twice now for 12-hours at a time. The last time around we attempted them on high for the last 3 hours. Unfortunately they are still hard, almost crunchy. I don’t want to have them go to waste… Would you be able to offer any suggestions on how to make them softer like other beans?
