The debate over soaking beans overnight vs quick soak method is one I keep going back and forth on

I spent about 5 hours total testing both ways with a bag of pinto beans from Aldi last weekend and the overnight ones cooked faster but the quick soak ones had way fewer split skins, which side do you all lean on for budget meals?

Five hours testing beans from ALDI?

Five hours is totally fair game when you're committed to finding a decent affordable option. Ngl, I've spent entire afternoons comparing store brand items to name brand stuff, and beans are no joke - texture and seasoning can make or break a whole meal. Tbh, that kind of dedication is what separates the casual shoppers from the real ones. Hope you found a keeper in that batch.
