I just mash some on the side of the pot. I do like my red beans thick

Also, you can use an immersion blender. Just take out 1 cup of the beans with juice, blend and return to pot.

I am notorious for under-cooking steaks. Once, I get past medium rare, I almost always burn it to medium-well/well done. So, I take it off early and serve. If someone wants it cooked more, I go finish it off.
