These are ways people cook this food, as our sources describe them. We have not tested a recipe.

Effort

Dried red kidney beans must be soaked and then boiled for at least 10 minutes: raw ones carry a natural toxin that boiling destroys. A slow cooker is not hot enough to destroy it. Canned beans are already cooked.
