[Stoves] Lets eat beans for every meal!

[Paul Anderson]

Teddy,

Very interesting.   Can you (or anyone) provide more info about the 
equipment (especially size) to pre-cook the beans.

I am wondering if the "steam-cooking" is with a pressure cooker? And 
about the volume of beans per batch and total quantity per day.

The shelf-life of cooked foods is rather short unless:
a.  canning
b.  preservatives
c.  refrigeration
d.  other ????
Are any of these methods being used?

Please keep us informed about this.
