Why does every red beans recipe lie?

I do them in under an hour in instapot

Tastes as good as they do simmered for 5 hours

The Camelia package directions say four hours.

I was looking at a Louisiana based slow cooker recipe book that said 3 1/2 hours on high in a slow cooker.

I had these frickers for going on high in the slow cooker for about 5 hours yesterday. Put them on the stove for about an hour before I went to bed and an hour so far tonight and they're still a ways off.

I could swear I've seen some that say 2-3 hours.

From starting with browning the sausage all the way to beans being ready takes me 2.5 hours.

I soak beans for about 18 hours.

Maybe you need a new stove or new cookware

2 to 2.5 hours for me, if soaked beforehand.

Soaked for like 15 hours. Le Creuset pot. Stove's old, but that can't be it. It heats plenty fine.

Are you at high altitude?

Anyway, use a pressure cooker.

I've soaked a few times, but I thought there was stuff on the inter webz about soaking not reducing cook time by much.

Soaking in a brine may make sense...

I've soaked and cooked without soaking. I am positive the soaked beans required less stock, and I do believe the cook time was less.
