You've been making beans on toast wrong says Heinz.

[Cycleops]

Apparently Brits eat Baked Beans on toast at least once a week. Heinz say some of us are doing it wrong so have posted a guide of how to do it the correct way. So, are they right?

Beans should never be on toast... Always at the side!

After living on Beans on Toast all through the 1984 Miners Strike, the mere image of that makes me

The only thing we do differently to what is suggested there (points 1-5, we don't do the optional step 6) is that we don't use butter - the Tomato sauce in eth beans is more than enough moisture.

Though it is something we only eat maybe once every couple of mon this or so on average.

What sort of evil uneducated ignorant git put cheese on beans on toast!!!!

disgusting stuff - should be banned (the cheese that is - not the beans!)

but then I may be biased - and in a minority

I haven't eaten beans on toast for years, when I did it was probably once a year at most. But I always did it in the way described above. Possibly might have used microwave instead of hob, but same end result. The only advantage with the hob method I think is that the sauce would reduce more than in the microwave?

I also know people who stir butter into the beans

How can anyone get beans on toast wrong?

Then it'd be beans and toast, not beans on toast.

The important bit is storing the tins upside down

$deity knows why as it goes on to say cook it on the hob and stir it

I suppose it does help by putting all the "juice" at the bottom so you don't end up wit a clump of solid bits at the bottom of the can
but shaking it a couple of time sorts that out anyway - as does a good shake over the pan

Possibly a subject that is being rather over thought??

BTW - my wife makes me do it by toasting the bread (Warbutons Toastie ONLY) one ONE side only
then put cheese on the untoasted side
Then but the beans over the cheese

The things I have to put up with!!!

Glad I've bean doing it correctly.

It's called Beans ON Toast. Not Beans at the side of toast.

You'll be telling me you don't do eggy beans next, having to have the egg on the opposite side of the plate.

Hmm eggy beans...yum.

I'm sure this thread will make someone's pulses race.

No doubt some will consider it sacrilege, but I have been known to do cheese on toast, then put beans on top.

You store you tins of bean upside down????

Always knew people were strange north of the border!

Can't you just take the tin opener to the bottom of the can?
