Pressure cooker is the way for dry foods. Mine will do split peas lentils and mung bean stew in 12 mins.

If you are poor, a pressure cooker is out of reach if you don't already have one.

How poor are we talking? I just found a pressure cooker for $25 on Amazon.

Poor where we are talking about saving cents on buying canned beans vs dry beans because it makes a difference.

When you go in debt every month to just survive, every cent count.

I would definitely indebt myself of 25$, but I am in a situation where I don't need to, so it is easy to say. I don't know what that reality is.

Fair, but it's also the kind of thing that can be found for very cheap/free if you don't mind second hand

I am not aware of the second hand market where you are, but it's hard to find deals here and if you find one, you gotta be fast.

But that's a fair point. It depends on where you are I guess.
