Charcoal Smoking (Optional)

  • Safety: Large batch: cool quickly in shallow containers or an ice bath, to below 5 °C within 6 hours, before refrigerating. (USDA FSIS)
  • Safety: Raw kidney beans contain a toxin destroyed only by thorough boiling. Never use slow-cooker or low-temperature methods for the beans until they have been pressure cooked or boiled hard and are completely soft. (The author)
  • Safety: For the optional smoking step, handle the burning charcoal with tongs, keep it on foil or in a metal cup, and do it away from anything flammable. (The author)
