Instructions:
Here's a method for de-gassing dried beans that seems to work. It's from
the new book Fat Free, Flavor Full by Dr. Gabe Mirkin and Diana Rich.
"Put the beans in a large pot and cover them with water. Bring them to a
boil and take them off the heat. This breaks the capsules surrounding the
beans and allows stachyose, verbascose and raffinose, the gas-causing
sugars, to escape into the water. Stir a couple of tablespoons of baking
soda into the water and let the beans soak overnight. Drain the soaking
water off the beans and rinse them several times. (If you eat the soaking
liquid, you will cause unbelievable discomfort for yourself and those
around you.)" Then you cook 'em and eat 'em. End of story, so to speak.
I've used this method with pinto beans, but rarely soak them for more than
4 hours (because when I'm hungry for beans I want them today, not
tomorrow). I've found it better than Beano, but of course your mileage may
vary.

beans
My aunt gave me a very helpful hint in regards to reducing the odiferous
properties of beans. She did this with pinto beans, but I am guessing that
it would work with any type. Cut up about three or four carrots into good
size chunks, and put them in the beans, and leave them there the whole time
you cook them and stuff. They supposedly absorbed the gas. It seemed to
really work. Just DON'T eat the carrots; throw them away. If you even have
a nibble, it'll be dangerous!
