When cooking beans, any additional ingredients, such as acidic substances, such as lemon juice, vinegar, tomatoes, ketchup or wine, should be added at the end of the cooking time, since acid makes the beans firm. You could add a packet of seasoning after the beans are tender, as adding it too soon can inhibit the cooking process.

Pressure-cook the tomatoes with salt to taste. When cool, churn them in a mixer and strain the juice. Deep freeze the tomato juice in an ice tray. Store the juice cubes in a box or plastic bag in the freezer. Use them to make tomato soup, vegetable, gravies, etc. when you’re in a hurry or have run out of tomatoes
