Help lol
Sooooo moneys tight & I bought a farberware from Facebook marketplace for super cheap, saw a vid on making pinto beans thought I could save money not buying canned.
Anyways
I go pick it up, she says stored it olmost right after buying long time ago then stored it, basically new, shoot half the stuff was still sealed in bags.
Well, there was a bit of dirt & such so I’m wondering if it was just shoved in a barn exposed to elements.
I cooked my first pot of beans yesterday & from the beginning steam was coming out olmost right after pressing start. But It seemed to be coming from all around the lid. Was worried that’s an issue & sure enough beans came out half cooked but maybe a touch burned, & no remaining liquid in the pot. Beans are edible but wouldn’t be enjoyable.
I just really wondering did I do something wrong or is it my fault buying one for $20 from a house out in the country & should I just buy another one but that’s clearly been used aka listing has photos of it on a countertop.
Sorry for over explaining, ADHD 😬 but if yall could give me tips on things to check? & could I test run it with just water as to not waste food?
Thank you 🙏
