Very interesting. Can you (or anyone) provide more info about the
equipment (especially size) to pre-cook the beans.<br>
<blockquote type="cite"> steam-cook beans in big metal containers,
before cooling and packaging them for sale.</blockquote>
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.<br>
<br>
The shelf-life of cooked foods is rather short unless:<br>
a. canning<br>
b. preservatives<br>
c. refrigeration<br>
d. other ????<br>
Are any of these methods being used?<br>
<br>
Please keep us informed about this.<br>
