Guest guest Posted March 22, 2000 Report Share Posted March 22, 2000 Hi, I thought that somebody might have some insight on this: I bought some dried hominy grits to make a chilli last week, and after soaking it overnight I still thought it was too hard to eat. I made the chilli anyway and let it simmer for about an hour (although the recipe called for 15 minutes). The hominy was still tough....I don't have a pressure cooker, but I thought that I could get away with just soaking them. This has happened before with dried kidney beans...It was awful. I really would like to find a way to get this to work since the canned stuff has a lot of salt in it. Hope you can help......Oh BTW thanks for the Seitan info.......!

Guest guest Posted March 24, 2000 Report Share Posted March 24, 2000 It's possible the stuff was too old; I've had this problem with beans as well. No amount of soaking or cooking made them tender.
