SCREW CANNED BEANS!!
I am not kidding that this machine is awesome. I can make tons of homemade hummas in a few hours.. chilli in no time. i'm drying tons of dry beans now and they are coming out great. I use to spend $2-$3 bucks on organic canned beans.. well that's a thing of the past.. I really am into this machine.. I HIGHLY recommend coming from a very lazy vegan.
Perfect for Esselstyn/McDougall Low-Fat Plant-Based Diets
My parents have been following Dr. Esselstyn's "Prevent and Reverse Heart Disease" plan for over a year (very successfully, I might add) and were consuming canned beans like crazy. Unfortunately, canned beans often contain added sodium, and organic beans can be quite expensive.

Great product to create healthy meals!
I bought this product about 3 months ago and have made many of the recipes in the booklet and have adapted a few to my family's tastes. It is easy to use. This product is a boon to the working mom. I can create economical healthy meals for my family in less than an hour effortlessly. No fancy ingredients. No soaking of the beans overnight or a "quick" 1-hour soak before cooking for 2 more hours! Highly recommend.
