Slow Cooker Ham & White Beans
This is the last recipe from our Christmas ham. I always look forward to finishing off the ham with a nice big bowl of white beans and slice of cornbread. This recipe is super simple. It uses a pound of dried beans and simmers all day in the crockpot with a big ham bone. The Honey Baked Ham store sells ham bones year round (found that out on twitter). If you don't have ham bone, use some ham shanks, ham hocks or just some chopped up ham. I love the creaminess of white beans combined with the saltiness of the ham. This is comfort food at its best!
Slow Cooker Ham & White Beans
(Printable Recipe)
1 lb package dried northern beans
ham bone, hocks, shanks or diced ham (about 1 pound)
2 tsp onion powder
6 cups water
salt & pepper to taste
Rinse and sort the beans for any pebbles. Add the the rinsed beans, onion powder, salt, pepper, and ham to the crock pot. Add water. Cover and cook on low about 8 hours, until beans are tender. Remove ham bone, shanks or hocks and pull off the meat. Add meat to the crock pot and mix. Serve with cornbread.

We're have white beans and cornbread on the menu for tomorrow.ReplyDelete
I really luv those beans. I need to remember to cook them more often.ReplyDelete
Please keep the slow cooker recipes coming! I made the cream cheese chili and it turned out so well!ReplyDelete
So simple, yet so delicious! I can't wait to try this. Anything with beans, has me excited these days!ReplyDelete

So you don't have to soak the beans? Just put them in dry??? Sounds so good!!!ReplyDelete
Yes - just throw them in dry. Isn't that great!ReplyDelete
Hand me a bowl of this and a bottle of hot sauce and I'm in heaven.ReplyDelete
This is on our menu for Monday. My Grandma used to make ham and beans for me when I was a little girl, so this is comfort food for me, too! Thanks for the recipe!ReplyDelete
Just made the same thing for the hubs using a leftover bone. He loves this. But never thought to use the crock pot. SO much easier.ReplyDelete
Ahh I think I found my soul mate here. My husbands name is Tad, I love to cook and bake, and I love that your blog is "Plain Chicken." The question is you you like "Naked Noodles" I too have expanded my eating selection as I get older, but still just love things simple. I will defiantly enjoy your blog:) ThanksReplyDelete
Great recipe everyone is re pinning it! Love the blog! Check mine out? Http://gigglingbites.blogspot.comReplyDelete
I just made Ham and Beans and am getting ready to blog about it. Tis the season. :) I'm so glad to find out that Honey Baked sells bones year round. Great information.ReplyDelete
Found this on Pinterest. We will definitely be having this for dinner!ReplyDelete
Found this on Pinterest...we had it for dinner last night--delicious! thanks for sharing!ReplyDelete
I grew up eating this! Reminds me of Sunday afternoons in the winter at my grandparents' house. I've been craving it forever, and lo and behold - found the recipe here!ReplyDelete
I have a 4 lb semi bonless ham. Can I just throw that in there with the beans and water?ReplyDelete
Corin.irene - absolutelyReplyDelete
I just made it and there is still SO much water...do I drain it?ReplyDelete
I used that 4 pound ham!!
If you like your bean soup with a little less liquid remove the lid and turn to high for a while. I think it is good to add 1-2 TBS brown sugar, it adds just a little something that this soup needs.ReplyDelete
If I have a few cans of northern beans and wanted to make this in the crock pot, how would you recommend cooking it? Drain and rinse beans then add water? Cooking time and setting? Thanks!ReplyDelete
Can the ham be in the crockpot the whole time?ReplyDeleteReplies
Yes - put the ham in the whole timeDelete
This sounds so good! I have a nice big ham bone and I wondered what to do with it.ReplyDelete
But I always heard that salt will toughen the beans. Are great northern beans different somehow? Or have I been mistaken?
My husband doesn't like the taste of the ham hocks..maybe I get smoked. Are there other cuts or bones that arent smoked?ReplyDelete
Marisa - you can just use some diced up ham in the dish if you don't want to use the ham hock.ReplyDelete
How much water?ReplyDeleteReplies
kb - 6 cups of waterDelete
What size crockpot is used for this? I have many different sizes.ReplyDelete
Karen - I used a 6 qt crock potReplyDelete
What about bacon????ReplyDelete

I am cooking this at home now. I used a Pork Butt Roast because I was worried about not having enough meat in the dish for my husband. I am hoping that it will work with the dish.ReplyDelete
Saw this on Pinterest. It's in the slow cooker right now. It seemed like a tasty low budget meal. I had roma beans in the pantry and tins of ham, turkey and chicken. Combined all three so I would have close to the 1 lb of meat. I'm winging it and we will see how it turns out!ReplyDelete

I live in South La. In our neck of the woods most of us cook our White beans with Salt Meat. To reduce the salt we boil the meat first. I will add my salt meat in the last 2 or 3 hours. This will be the first time I cook my beans in the crock pot.ReplyDelete
I have started using smoked turkey legs instead of ham or ham hocks. Healthier and can't tell the differenceReplyDelete
i bought navy beans instead of northern beans. Is that ok?ReplyDelete
That should be fine Rachel - enjoy!ReplyDelete
I've got this in the crockpot now! Looking forward to trying--thanks for sharing your recipe. :)ReplyDelete
Going to the store today after work to make this! I haven't had it in years!ReplyDelete
Making this for dinner tonight…The whole family is looking forward to it. I love that it is so simple!!ReplyDelete
I've had this going for 8 hours and it's still real watery and the beans are tough... Any advice? I've turned it up to high for the last hour..ReplyDelete
abby - it could be your crockpot. The beans shouldn't be tough after simmering for 8 hours.ReplyDelete
thank you so much for posting this recipe, i have mine on right now, its a surprise dinner for hubby, i hope he likes it, thanks againReplyDelete
I bought a bone in 5.5 lb ham and pre cooked that overnight in the crockpot with some vegetable broth. It was falling of the bone this morning, enough to shred easily. I will put the meat back in the crock pot with the beans and chicken broth instead of water and whatever juices came from cooking the ham last night. I'll also use less beans since we like our soups a little thicker but so far it looks good. The ham wasn't salty at all either. I've always just thrown my beans in the crock without pre rinsing or boiling and they came out fine :).ReplyDelete
Thanks,and the total cost for this meal was...$7.49 the most expensive thing was the smoked turkeylegs I used at $3.28! I love a great money saving meal idea!ReplyDelete
Can I freeze the leftovers?ReplyDelete
Art_diesel - yes, you can freeze the leftoversReplyDelete
Could you cook them on high for 4-5 hours instead of low for 8??ReplyDeleteReplies
Kar-Lyn - yes, you can cook this on high for 4-5 hoursDelete
Do you think adding onions would be good?? What about bacon??ReplyDelete
Do you think adding onions would be good?? What about bacon??ReplyDelete
Also, I am using a "center cut ham steak" (slice)....would I want that in there the whole 8 hours, or would I add it a little later?ReplyDelete
Ryan - I think onions and/or bacon would be a great addition to the dish.ReplyDelete
I would chop up the ham steak and let it cook the whole 8 hours. The ham I used was already cooked and it was fine in the crockpot all day.
Just made this today and it was sooooooo good. And I have leftovers for work this week.ReplyDelete
I'm making this today but I'm gonna use smoked Turkey necks instead of ham. :)ReplyDelete
I am making is this week because publix has chunked ham pieces on sale BOGO this week.ReplyDelete
I've always preferred smoked hamhocks, if available. Also, I put a little Tobasco in mine after its in the bowl.ReplyDelete
I have a small three lb ham is that too big?ReplyDelete
I am thinking I wouldn't put as much water?
Bernadette - that is a larger ham than I usually use. I would cut the ham in pieces and you should be fine. I wouldn't cut the water down too much. The beans need enough water to cook.ReplyDelete
Mines in the crock pot. I used 4 cups chicken broth and 2 cups water! Saw it in another recipe! Excited to try it!ReplyDelete
Can I double the recipe? Would i need to double the water?How many would it feed, as written?ReplyDelete
How many servings?ReplyDelete
I pinned this and went to the store before actually reading. So i bought small white beans instead.bb of northern beans....will it make a difference? I hope not. Im rinsing the beans now.ReplyDelete
Kayla - I think it will be fine. Hope you enjoy it!ReplyDelete
Cooking this in the crockpot right now. I just added some farmer John diced ham. So simple. Being from the south I am used to eating beans this way. This will be a new dish for my Mexican husband.ReplyDelete
I've taken the beans and "stir fried" them for just a couple of minutes in some bacon grease before adding them to the broth-it gives them a nice slight toasty/hearty taste. I'm also going to use this recipe with black-eyed peas for New Years day. Cooking down the ham hock broth now!ReplyDelete
I grew up eating bean soup and since moving away I haven't made it for my family...until now. I will be making it today..although I did soak my beans overnight just out of habit and will be putting them and my ham in the crockpot shortly.ReplyDelete
I love this blog and have made many delicious recipes from here. I have this one cooking right now and I gotta tell you, it has been in the crock pot since this afternoon and I am not enjoying the smell of the boiled meat. My husband assures me it will be delicious. I will let you know. :o)ReplyDelete
A Little Sweet - I am with your husband - I assure you it will be delicious!ReplyDelete
We have a bone from Honey Baked Ham that is too big to fit into the crock pot so we got out our big stock pot to do tis on the stove instead. Would you just simmer this on the stove for the same 8 hours? Or should I bring it to a boil first and then reduce the heat and cook it for less time?ReplyDelete
I just picked up 3 ham bones from Honey Baked Ham store for $3. Then picked up the northern white beans and I'm putting them in the crock pot tonight. I'm adding red onion and BACON! because I read that in these comments! yummy! cannot wait for dinner tomorrow!ReplyDelete
I'm trying this today w/ gluten free cornbread. Sounds like the perfect winter meal. I only have canned beans - how many cans do you think? 2?ReplyDelete
KidsAhead - I would think you would need about 4 cans - you also won't need to cook this very long at all since the beans are already cooked. You are basically just warming them up.ReplyDelete
I made this tonight and it was so yummy. Thanks!ReplyDelete
Do I need to drain and add water if I bought canned beans? Also, how long does 1 lb of ham need to cook if the beans are just being warmed?ReplyDelete
James - I would drain the beans and add a little water. I would cook the beans and ham about 15-20 minutes on the stove. It won't be the same with canned beans, so I can't guarantee that it will be like the photo.ReplyDelete
I dont have the ham bones but I do have smoked pork bones. Would that suffice as a substitute?ReplyDelete
I am putting this in the crockpot right now. Nothing like comfort food on a rainy day. I can't wait to see how it turns out.ReplyDelete
Tried it... Loved it.... Trying it again. Thanks!!ReplyDelete
This turned out really well. Saw this on Pinterest and made it tonight for dinner! Thanks!ReplyDelete
I made this today, and it was amazing.ReplyDelete
Okay, I'm sure this is a crazy question to most, but is this a side dish or meal?ReplyDelete
Adie86 - I have this as a main dish with a side of corn bread.ReplyDelete
I have a package of sliced Ham, pretty thick. could i just use that in this? its already cooked so would i put it in after the beans are done or let it cook all day?ReplyDelete
Sara - you can use that ham. I let my ham cook all day in the crockpot. Hope you enjoy it!ReplyDelete
I am really excited for this reciepe. Do you know roughly how many this is designed to serve??ReplyDelete
Betty Jo - this will serve at least 6 peopleReplyDelete
This has become one of our very favorite meals! I substitute smoked turkey tails for the ham and it's absolutely delicious! Thanks for a great recipe for our winter meal rotation :)ReplyDelete
I made this yesterday and it was yummy. I took a small bowl to work today and I think it's even better the second day!! Only change I made was to used 4 cups chicken broth for some of the water. I will be making this a lot!!ReplyDelete
This is in my crock pot now. I'm a little curious as to how it will turn out. I have doctor's appts today so I there was no way I was running around 7mths pregnant and than slaving in the kitchen all evening before I go to bed, lol. I tried your Red Beans and Rice Crock Pot recipe, and we really didn't like it...but this one sounds so much better in my opinion!ReplyDelete
I found this today and even though it's summer and hot I didn't want to toss the ham bone. Will make good lunches this week. I skipped the onion powder and added an onion and several chopper celery stalks. Wish I would have read the chicken broth idea before I added the water, but it should still work out ok.ReplyDelete
I found this recipe yesterday and it will be Thursday night's dinner!ReplyDelete
I went to Walmart and found a package of spiral ham chunks and pieces! $3.60 for a 1.6 lb package. I have the beans so this is a really economical meal!
Can anyone direct me to a good cornbread recipe? I like it moist and made it once in my cast iron skillet but cannot find that recipe.Thanks.
Glamour Gone By - here is my recipe for cornbreadReplyDelete
Why is no one concerned about the comment made about toxins when you don't soak or boil the beans first?ReplyDeleteReplies
I've been wondering about that too...Delete
I eat this often and I haven't died yet. I've read about toxins in uncooked kidney beans, but nothing about cooking beans without soaking.Delete
I just read an article about toxins in beans, it said that the toxins are highest in undercooked red kidney beans. So I would think that as long as they are thoroughly cooked you should be ok.Delete
I made a ham in the crockpot last night for dinner and I have the bone/ham left over, can I use this with the beans for this recipe?ReplyDeleteReplies
that would be perfect Mary!Delete
To make this recipe or navy bean soup etc. taste REALLY good, don't use water -- use chicken broth. You'd be surprised at the increased flavor.ReplyDeleteReplies
I'll try that next time. Great tip!Delete
I made this recently and it was delicious. I used a ham bone I purchased from the Honey Baked Ham Store. They happened to have a lot of bones at the time, so they sold it to me buy one get one free, so I froze one. Can't wait to make this again!!ReplyDeleteReplies
YUM! Honey Baked Ham is my favorite!Delete
I have white beans in a can, can I rinse them and use them instead if dry bean?ReplyDelete
So glad I came across this crockpot meal. Thanks! I did make some adaptions because I've never been known to 'follow' a recipe exactly ;) I added a small chopped onion/4 garlic cloves, shredded carrots (in bag from grocery), one half diced yellow pepper, 4 cups chicken broth, 1 cup water and 1 cup white wine. I also added fresh rosemary and a sprinkle of red pepper flakes. It's delicious, filling, and my whole family loves it :)ReplyDelete
This is delicious! It's now a part of my regular rotation!ReplyDeleteReplies
So glad you are enjoying it!Delete
I found this recipe on Pinterest at about 3 pm. I had a pound of great northern beans and a canned ham. I decided it would be great for dinner, so I boiled the beans for about 15 minutes with some chicken broth, bacon bits onion & garlic, then I plan to put them in the pressure cooker with the cut up ham. I cant wait to see how it comes out. Thanks!ReplyDelete
This is s recipe I grew up on! I always save the ham bone with some meat left on it! And throw it in the freezer..... I never do m8ne on the crock pot though...always on the stove....just like gma used to....but I add onion, celery, lots of garlic, and a 1/4 c brown sugar!ReplyDelete

If I want to double the amount of beans (2 lbs) do I need to double the amount of water? I'm not sure I could fit 12 cups of water, 2 lbs beans, and 2 lbs ham in my crock pot. Sorry if this is a dumb question. I don't cook and I'm new to the crock pot world as well.ReplyDeleteReplies
You could start with about 8 cups and add more water if you see it drying out.Delete
I absolutely LOVE this recipe! I have it on Pinterest on my 'Success!' board so I don't lose track of it. Thank you for posting it!ReplyDelete
Could I use canned red kidney beans instead?ReplyDelete
I made this this Christmas morning using the ham bone from our Christmas ham. I didn't use the crockpot to cook this but I can see how easy it would be for next time. I placed the beans and ham bone into a pot with 1/2 water and 1/2 low sodium chicken stock to cover. When the meat started pulling away from the bone I took it out and shredded the ham off the bone. I got about 1 cup of meat. I added about 1/2 cup more ham. salt, pepper and I added 1 tsp of parsley (I will put less next time, but it was okay). Very good. I'm fixing some cornbread to go with this for the evening meal. It makes a very full pot so I'm freezing some of it for another cold winter day. Thank you!ReplyDelete
Oh! I also added fresh onion instead of onion powder.ReplyDelete
I grew up eating these. We would always put the beans over the sliced corn bread and then drizzle white vinegar on top of that. So yummy.ReplyDelete
Thanks for the great recipe! This is a family favorite we call it three little pigs soup:) I always soak beans first with a little salt to so they are easier to eat.ReplyDelete
Thanks so much for postie this recipe! My Grammy and momhave been making this my whole life and I'm so excited to be able to bring it to my own families table :) cooking now and it's cold outside.....perfect!ReplyDelete
thi recipe is in the slow cooker as I write...........sure hope it turns out cause I am not one for cooking these type of beans and have always wanted to.ReplyDelete
well...........Im back...............made the meal and some cornbread muffins to go with it. It was tastey...but......my meal did not have anywhere near the sauce you have in your picture. It is thick like a casserole type meal. Now I know I can add more water to some of the leftovers and make it more soupy.....which I probably will.....but just saying.......mine was thick and not like a soup. But we will eat it!......and I always appreciate all the recipes you put online and have tried several of them and have alwyas been please, so I thank you.ReplyDelete
Mine is very watery. Wanted it thicker, like in your picture. Wondering if it's because the ham I used had a LOT of fat. I trimmed of all I could. Wondering if that is the reason. Also, is there a way to thicken it up? Thanks!ReplyDeleteReplies
You could always a little cornstarch or flour dissolved in water. You need to make sure the water is boiling when you add it and keep stirring till its well incorporated.Delete

are there Any other types of beans that can be used????ReplyDelete
I cook ham & beans (I use mixed beans which is pinto & great northern) all the time on the stove. Serve them over rice with cornbread. I am definitely going to try this crockpot style.ReplyDelete
Steph Ive been cooking beans and cornbread for years but this shortcut is great!,, and just as delicious if not betterReplyDelete
I soak my white northern beans overnight. I did find garlic flavored chicken broth, and used it for 2 out of the 6 cups of liquid. It added flavor without doing anything extra. I also used a smoked ham hock, and cut up 2 hickory smoked ham steaks for extra meat. Turned out great!!ReplyDelete

I made this yesterday and it's a definite keeper. I used 1 lb dried northern beans, .5 lbs navy beans (soaked overnight), 1 49.5 oz can Swanson's MSG-free chicken broth (w/Worcestershire & Louisiana hot sauce), 2 smoked turkey legs, and approx. 6 stalks of celery. Cooked on low 6 hours, high 2 hours. It was very good, but had a little bit of an odd flavor (maybe from smoked turkey legs, or maybe from MSG-free broth), I couldn't quite put my finger on the odd flavor. It was even better the next day and the slightly odd flavor was hardly noticeable. Next time I may try un-smoked turkey legs instead. I used smoked legs because I had seen a couple other comments that mentioned that. Thanks for sharing this yummy recipe!!ReplyDelete
My dear MIL taught me to make this soup but we add tomato juice to the recipe and when ready to serve, chop up a hard boiled egg into the bowl and serve. The hard boiled egg not only adds flavor but thickens it. Do not freeze with the egg in it or reheat it with it, as the white of the egg will end up tasting like rubber. We soak our beans overnight but also cook on top of stove in big pot. Have never tried using the crock pot but might have to try it. I could soak the beans overnight in same crockpot insert, drain and then use same crockpot insert to make the soup. One less pot to wash!ReplyDelete
I wondering if I need to do anything different so that I can pressure can after the 8 hours? My husband drives a tanker and this would be great to warm his old bones while out on the road this winter.ReplyDelete

Trying this dish tonight. Used my tightly wrapped frozen ham bone that I had from last Christmas.....added diced onion, sprinkle of celery salt (no stalks on hand), sprinkle of Nature's Seasoning, 1 bay leaf, diced garlic clove, and a tablespoon of brown sugar as others suggested. Hope this one is a crock pot winner since I normally prepare my beans on the stove top!ReplyDelete
It's chilly here in GA so this will hit the spot tonight!! Thanks for sharing!ReplyDelete
I would never had thought to cook beans in a crockpot. I will be fixing this next week. Only I will be using smoked turkey instead of pork. Thank You!!!ReplyDelete
I always thought salting made the beans stay hard, but maybe not: http://www.thekitchn.com/think-salt-is-the-enemy-of-perfect-beans-think-again-196470ReplyDelete
I also add some garlic powder, and I always soak the beans overnight first.
made this today in my 4 qt ~ cause i had a huge ham bone in freezer, used dried white beans and only 5 cups water cause i was striving for creamy (not soupy) ~ perfection! a surprisingly nice change from our usual fare, will make again. thx for sharing with this northern gal:)ReplyDelete
How many servings does the recipe yield? Just wanting to make sure 1lb of beans is enough for the family. :)ReplyDelete
This is in my crock pot now with my Christmas ham bone. Used some chicken broth from my freezer for 2 cups of liquid and added some garlic salt. Following Steph's advice did not presoak beans, but have cooked on high for the first couple of hours. The house already smells great!ReplyDelete
Any suggestions on alternatives to the salted meat? I'm a vegetarian but love dried beans!ReplyDelete
Easter ham bones going in the crock pot tomorrow with beans. Yum. Perfect timing: it was 72 degrees today and will be in the 50's tomorrow.ReplyDelete

1 (6 ounce) can
tomato paste
6 fluid ounces
warm water (110 degrees F/45 degrees C)
3 tablespoons
grated Parmesan cheese
1 teaspoon
minced garlic
2 tablespoons
1 teaspoon
anchovy paste
3/4 teaspoon
onion powder
1/4 teaspoon
dried oregano
1/4 teaspoon
dried marjoram
1/4 teaspoon
dried basil
1/4 teaspoon
ground black pepper
1/8 teaspoon
cayenne pepper
1/8 teaspoon
dried red pepper flakes
salt to taste
I've used this recipe many, many times -- we love it. I actually use it so much, I put together a big batch of all the dry ingredients so I don't have to measure out all the spices every time (let alone go searching my pantry to find them every time)... I multiplied all the dry ingredients (onion powder through red pepper flakes) by 8 (eg, 1/4 tsp becomes 2 tsp, 1/8 is 1 tsp, etc), mixed them all up, and store them in a small jar -- every time I want to make the sauce, I just have to measure out 2 tsp of the dry ingredients.
We found this recipe WAY TOO SWEET and WAY TOO SPICY. Think it could have been really good with the honey, cayenne pepper, and pepper flakes cut way back or cut out altogether. I kept adding more tomato paste and sauce and other spices to the recipe to try to mask these flavors and ended up with a ton of sauce that never did taste quite right. I would, however, make it again and think it would be a good sauce without those sweet and spicy ingredients.

We love this recipe!
Hint: For easy/quick prep, scale this recipe to 40 and combine the dry spices in a spice jar. Whenever you want fresh sauce, use appx. 1 tablespoon of the mixture in the regular recipe.
This was very good, and I made no changes. My only comment is that it doesn't make a whole lot, so if you have a large pizza or calzone I would suggest doubling the recipe.
I made this recipe as is the first time, omitting the anchovy paste. We found it to be much too sweet and a little too oniony. Made it a second time using 1 tsp of honey rather than 2 tbsp and it was much better. Also used romano cheese rather than parmesean, and only used 1/2 tsp onion powder. Instead of adding dried herbs, we mixed the other ingredients together in a sauce pan and submerged a sprig each of fresh basil and oregano in the tomato mixture. Simmered for just a few minutes and then discarded the herb sprigs. We ended up with smooth tomato texture with a nice fresh herb taste. Don't simmer too long or the herb taste will be too overpowering! This sauce also has a kick when you cut back on the honey. Next time we'll do 1/8 tsp crushed red pepper *or* cayenne, not both. But we'll definitely make it again!
I added a few tablespoons of white wine to the warm water, which adds a wonderful flavor. Remember that the honey and peppers balance each other out, so if you follow other reviewers' suggestions and reduce the honey, you should also reduce the peppers -- unless you like your sauce very spicy. I use half the honey and use only half the black and cayenne pepper, and omit the red pepper flakes. I also double the oregano for a genuine pizzeria flavor.
We are a big pizza eating family and this was by far the BEST pizza sauce ever. I will have to agree with those that said to either completely eliminate the honey or cut it in half. I used half of it and still thought it was too sweet so I added lots of garlic salt to take away the sweetness. I will make this recipe for years to come. Thank you very much Angie for your great recipe!!
This comes about as close to perfection as any pizza sauce i've ever tasted and i'm old school Italian. Please do not variate or omit any ingredients you'll lose the "exquisite" flavor this sauce imparts. I read a review that said they ommited the anchovies and the sauce was to sweet. Anchovies give this a salty balance against the honey sweetness. The odd thing was this was voted a top review, people please! I could eat this with a spoon as is, it's just that good. In my 50 years of life this is the best pizza sauce i've ever tasted. (yep, it's THAT good)

Red Bull Racing
Qualifying: Sebastian Vettel pole position (1:23.529), Mark Webber 3rd (1:24.395)
The form: Vettel's 16th pole and second in a row at Albert Park may have been the most impressive of his career, but it's on Sundays where the 23-year-old world champion has struggled in Australia. Webber was downcast after being thrashed to the tune of 0.866secs by his teammate on Saturday, but is still in a strong position for a maiden top-three finish at home.
We say: Only reliability issues can prevent a double-podium finish for the reigning constructors' champions this afternoon.
Qualifying: Lewis Hamilton 2nd (1:24.307), Jenson Button 4th (1:24.779)
The form: As we suggested, pre-Melbourne murmurs about MP4-26 proved ill-founded – or at least the team has responded superbly. Hamilton was thrilled with a car he says was "feeling fantastic" as he upset the Red Bull front row applecart and says he will give Vettel "the race of his life"; Button was bothered by Rosberg and the spinning Massa in Q3.
We say: if Lewis steers clear of first-corner carnage we could be in for a rare treat: Hamilton on the podium, Button just outside.
Qualifying: Fernando Alonso 5th (1:24.974), Felipe Massa 8th (1:25.599)
The form: Not the grid positions President Luca di Montezemelo had in mind for a year in which, he says, only the title will do, but Alonso has said a "new Formula 1" starts here and he probably meant on Sunday rather than in qualifying. Massa's out-lap indiscretion in Q3 is not the start he needed, either, in a make-or-break year with the sport's most celebrated team.
We say: Fernando could sneak a podium, Felipe perhaps tempted into over-driving in the early stages with the risks that entails.
Qualifying: Nico Rosberg 7th (1:25.421), Michael Schumacher 11th (1:25.971)
The form: Rosberg and Schumacher expected more on Saturday, especially after showing such promising pace in the final pre-season test in Barcelona. The team had several KERS-related issues on Saturday and Rosberg admitted to a mistake on his best lap in Q3. However, four-time Albert Park winner Schumacher has the freedom to choose his tyre strategy for the race, which could prove decisive.
We say: A double-points finish is the bare minimum, but Rosberg will need attrition from his rivals to sneak onto the podium.
Qualifying: Vitaly Petrov 6th (1:25.247), Nick Heidfeld 18th (1:27.239)
The form: An upside-down weekend so far with 'Quick Nick' unable to show that quality in a Q1 session where traffic got the better of him and a KERS problem cost him time as well. Vitaly meanwhile was one of the surprise packages, producing his best F1 grid position to date and confidently forecasting a good points-scoring finish.
We say: Petrov will struggle to maintain position while the canny Heidfeld makes up for Saturday's disappointment.
Qualifying: Pastor Maldonado (15th, 1:26.768), Rubens Barrichello (17th, no time)
The form: A disappointing Saturday for Williams after Barrichello showed top-10 pace on Friday. The Brazilian veteran endured a gearbox problem in final practice and then had a careless spin into the Turn 3 gravel in the second part of qualifying, while Maldonado's first F1 qualifying session finished with a low-key 15th place.
We say: Barrichello expects to get plenty of chances to use the new adjustable rear and Melbourne's trademark attrition could see him sneak a points finish. Finishing would mark a successful weekend for rookie Maldonado.
Force India
Qualifying: Paul di Resta (14th, 1:26.739), Adrian Sutil (16th, 1:31.407)
The form: Sutil provided the most spectacular save of qualifying when he rotated 360 degrees at the top of the start-finish straight and managed to keep his car out of the wall; Di Resta was nervous before his maiden F1 qualifying session but kept his cool and produced a solid 14th-place result. Toro Rosso and Sauber look to have overtaken Force India in the midfield, however.
We say: Points look to be a bridge too far given their starting positions and lack of outright speed this weekend.
Qualifying: Kamui Kobayashi (9th, 1:25.626), Sergio Perez (13th, 1:26.108)
The form: Kobayashi has been in the top 10 for most of the weekend and has shown his customary flair; he'll be looking for a better Australian race than last year, where he crashed spectacularly on lap one. Rookie Perez has kept his nose clean and showed impressive pace on his first visit to Albert Park.
We say: Kobayashi should be one to watch later in the race when the Pirelli tyres aren't at their best with his spectacular style. Perez the likeliest rookie to score points.
Toro Rosso
Qualifying: Sébastien Buemi 10th (1:27.066), Jaime Alguersuari 12th (1:26.103)
The form: "We are just a sniff ahead of Force India, with whom I expect we will be fighting all year," said a bullish TD Giorgio Ascanelli after a superb qualifying session for his two drivers. Buemi put Toro Rosso into Q3 for the first time since 2009 and believes the car – among the top three at some parts of the track in terms of maximum speed – is capable of hanging in there for points.
We say: Both drivers to be in the minor points placings, though Perez and Di Resta may have something to say about that.
Qualifying: Heikki Kovalainen (19th, 1:29.254), Jarno Trulli (20th, 1:29.342)
The form: Not much has changed for Lotus; they're still comfortably the best of the three teams that made their debuts last year, but they're still well behind the back-end of the midfield. Kovalainen out-qualified Trulli despite his rear wing sticking in the 'open' position on his best lap, while both drivers struggled to generate tyre temperature.
We say: A finish for one car and staying out the way while being lapped by the rampant Red Bulls is the best Lotus can realistically hope for.
Marussia Virgin
Qualifying: Timo Glock 21st (1:29.858), Jérôme d'Ambrosio 22nd (1:30.822)
The form: Effectively last on the grid now that the HRT twosome have fallen foul of the 107% rule, Virgin were nervous if unsurprised about their qualifying performance. "We can see now where we are and what we need to do to progress," says Glock, while rookie D'Ambrosio is relieved to be in his first race and staying positive despite the difficulties.
We say: A double DNF.

1/4 teaspoon
1 cup
mashed ripe banana
1/4 cup
white sugar
1/4 cup
sour cream
1/2 teaspoon
vanilla extract
This is a wonderful recipe! I modified it a bit to make it a tad healthier. I used 1/4c white flour, 1/2c whole wheat flour, 1/4c wheat bran, 1/2 scoop of vanilla flavored whey protein powder, 1 tablespoon baking powder, 1/2 tsp baking soda, 1/4 tsp salt, 3 mashed bananas, 1/4c splenda for baking, 1/4c nonfat vanilla yogurt, 1/4c egg substitute, 1/2 tsp vanilla and 1 tsp cinnamon. Nutrition info per muffin: 82 calories, 0.5g fat, 18 carbs, 2g fiber and 3g protein. Once cooled I sealed them in a plastic bag overnight, and I had no trouble peeling them from the muffin liners. Very moist and healthy!
These tasted salty, and the texture was strange. Light, with lots of pockets of air, not dense at all like a muffin usually is. They were moist, but that's all that I could say that was good about them. I almost trashed them, but I know people who'll eat anything. I did tear up the recipe sheet and throw that away. The simple ingredients drew me to this one, but I think muffins really need butter/margarine. Thanks but I'll keep on looking.

The kids are home sick. Perfect for today. I didn't have sour cream so I used nonfat vanilla yogurt. I beat the bananas, eggs, yogurt and vanilla well and then added the mixed together dry ingredients. I also added walnuts. Very nice light, fluffy texture. The kids loved them!
These were great. It's important to let them cool off completely before serving (they refrigerate very well). I made a batch using plain, nonfat yogurt instead of sour cream and it worked fabulously.
When the muffins were gone, I used this recipe for banana bread, replacing the all-purpose flour with whole wheat flour. It works, you just have to let it bake a little longer to get done in the middle.
I also found that these are great with even less sugar (thought they don't have much to begin with), the ripe bananas do plenty of sweetening.
My best advice about this recipe is to bake it just before you go to bed at night. That way you can leave them to cool overnight and when you get up in the morning, you can stick them into the freezer (before tasting them) so you can have some left for tomorrow. Just keep 2 or 3 out or as many out as you need for breakfast or brunch. That is unless you need them all that day for some occasion or just to be immediately eaten, because they will be if there's anyone around to sample or taste them.
They baked up beautifully - very light and fluffy but needed to cook a little longer than 20 mins to come out of the papers easily.
I baked these for a study group next week but I know I'm going to have trouble having some left by then, even though they're in the freezer.
What I like most about this recipe is that it uses only 1/2 cup of sugar. We all know that bananas have the highest sugar content of any fruit and therefore don't need 3/4 or 1 1/2 cups of sugar with them. They are deliciously and perfectly sweet with this small amount of sugar. I toyed with adding some spices (just because I like spiced bananas) but decided to do it as written first to see how they taste normally. They are quite scrumptious as is and I'm really thankful that I found this recipe. It's perfect!
I didn't have enough banana, so I added applesauce. My other alterations were pretty standard: cinnamon, and vanilla yogurt for the sour cream. To the reviewer who used 1/4C extra banana rather than sour cream, and got poor results: baking soda requires an acidic ingredient to cause it to act. By removing the sour cream and replacing it with fruit, you removed that acidic ingredient, and the baking soda remained inactive.
OMG i LOVE these!!!!!! soooo yummy and tender!!!! i used 2 medium ripe bananas, half whole wheat flour and half white flour, replaced the sour cream with fat free vanilla yogurt, and had to use almond extract instead of vanilla. Other than that, everything was kept the same.....cooked in about 22 minutes.....i really beat together the egg and banana mixture, so i think that helped make the muffins so spongey....mmmmm!!!! Just the right amount of sweetness, o-so-low in fat, and just straight up scrumptious!!!!! Made exactly 12. seriously- try this recipe!!!
Considering that I neglected to add the baking powder and they still rose twice the size with just the half tsp of baking soda I was pretty impressed. They were neither too moist or heavy or dry. I did add a couple tablespoons of oil, to compensate for the small banana I used and I did add nutmeg, cinnamon and extra vanilla for extra flavour. Very tasty.

Question : How did the Black Panthers go from a powerful grassroots movement to a drug and strife ridden organization with its best leaders dead? What happened to the American Indian Movement (AIM)?
Answer: Counterinsurgency, American style. State financed, illegal methods of framing, blaming and murdering activists has quite a history. From anti-labor Pinkerton thugs, the Palmer raids on Anarchists, to infiltration of anti-globalization protests, CHURCHILL sends activists a warning.
WARD CHURCHILL is Co-Director of the American Indian Movement (AIM) of Colorado, a National Spokesperson for the Leonard Peltier Defense Committee and an associate professor of American Indian Studies and Communications at the University of Colorado/Boulder. Some of his many books are:"The Cointelpro Papers","A Little Matter of Genocide, Agents of Repression", and"Pacifism as Pathology".

WAKFU - More Kickstarter $ucce$$ - Feb 19 2014
I love crowdfunding! Sites like Kickstarter and Indiegogo have renewed my faith in the potential of the creative community especially when it comes to projects outside of the mainstream status quo industry.
Case in point is the campaign for "WAKFU: The Animated Series" on Kickstarter.
The goal of the 30 day campaign is $80,000 (Canadian) and they reached it in just two days! Currently as of this writing on the third day of the campaign they're at $94,647.
The project is initiated by Ankama in Roubaix, France. They're the production company behind this great cartoon which has been airing in their country since 2008. The aim of the campaign is to raise funds to dub the series into English and other languages thus expanding the reach of the franchise.
To access the "WAKFU: The Animated Series" campaign on Kickstarter click here.
Check out the promotional video below and see some amazing animation from the show...
Re: WAKFU - More Kickstarter $ucce$$ - Feb 19 2014
I've been showing the video for this campaign to my students this week. I ask them if they're aware of any cartoon on TV that can match the quality and interest of this one and to an individual they all said no.
This is an exciting time in the business and the art when animated entertainment produced outside of the mainstream status quo is better than what the mainstream status quo is doing.
To top it off, the property is funded by its fans!
I'm so enthusiastic about what's going on thanks to crowdfunding that all my impressions, conceptions, attitudes and beliefs about animation have changed and all for the better.
It's affected every aspect of my professional life and much of my personal life as well.
The concept of The Independent Economy has come to full fruition thanks to crowdfunding. With this method of financing, along with the distribution outlet that the Internet provides, there's simply no need to walk with the dinosaurs anymore unless you're looking to work for them or they pick up your project as a result of your independent success.
After just 3 days the WAKFU campaign is at $110,390 and counting of their initial $80,000 goal.
They will continue to be creatively free while expanding their franchise.
Re: WAKFU - More Kickstarter $ucce$$ - Feb 19 2014
There's 13 days to go in the WAKFU campaign on Kickstarter and the project has raised $238,116 through 2,787 backers for an original $80,000 goal.
Great results for a top notch animated property!

Re: WAKFU - More Kickstarter $ucce$$ - Feb 19 2014
I love seeing successful crowdfunded projects!
With 6 days to go in the campaign 3,580 backers have supported the dubbing of the WAKFU series in France to the English language to the tune of $304,916 so far from an $80,000 goal.
https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/18 ... ted-series
Re: WAKFU - More Kickstarter $ucce$$ - Feb 19 2014
The WAKFU campaign on Kickstarter has wrapped up and here's the final tally...
$483,524 pledged of an $80,000 goal thanks to 5,707 backers.
Looks like we'll be seeing the series in English soon enough!

Rolling Stones To Play Glastonbury – Not A Rumor!

Got Live If You Want It!: Five Great Live Rolling Stones Albums
Rolling Stones fans across the country are hoping that the band's "50 And Counting" tour will extend to more dates in 2013. But as of now, their U.S. dates are limited to this past Saturday's concert at Brooklyn's Barclays Center, and this week's shows at the Prudential Center in New Jersey. So if you can't make it to the New York area for the shows (or you can't afford the ticket prices, which are now well into the thousands of dollars), here are a few live Stones albums you can rock for a lot less money.
Rolling Stones Joined By Eric Clapton, Bill Wyman, Mick Taylor and Florence Welch For 2nd O2 Show
Last night, their guests were Eric Clapton (for a cover of Muddy Waters' "Champagne And Reefer") and Florence Welch, of the British band Florence & The Machine, for "Gimme Shelter."
Hendrix At 70: "'Are You Experienced?' Just Blew Me Away" – Peter Frampton
"Hendrix playing wasn't ugly, but it was more ballsy. A little out-of-tune, but it was full of passion. I think it's his passion that I love most of all. I've got everything that he's done. 'Are You Experienced?' just blew me away."
The Rolling Stones Rock The O2 Dome with Mick Taylor, Bill Wyman, Mary J. Blige and Jeff Beck
Last night (November 25), The Rolling Stones played their first arena concert in six years at England's O2 Arena. The band played a two-hour-plus set, spanning their 50 year career.
'Crossfire Hurricane' Director Brett Morgen On Brian Jones, Getting The Keys To The Vault
After months of anticipation, on November 15 HBO premiered "Crossfire Hurricane," the much-talked about documentary about The Rolling Stones. CBS Local spoke to the film's director, Brett Morgen, about the access he got to all of the living Rolling Stones — Mick Jagger, Keith Richards, Charlie Watts and Ron Wood, as well as former members Bill Wyman and Mick Taylor — and the perks to getting access to their vaults.
The Rolling Stones' "GRRR!" Tracklist: 20 Songs They Missed
In stores this week is GRRR!, a career-spanning greatest hits set by The Rolling Stones. There are several versions of the collection available, including the 80-track "Super Deluxe" version. But with 50 years under their collective belt, even 80 songs doesn't seem enough. Here, we suggest a couple of other great Stones songs that could make it an even 100 (and there'd still be songs missing).
Five Setlist Requests For The Rolling Stones
At their two Paris gigs, the Stones stuck with some of the classics: "It's Only Rock and Roll (But I Like It)," "Miss You," "Tumbling Dice," "Start Me Up," "Midnight Rambler," "Jumpin' Jack Flash" and "Brown Sugar" all made both shows, as did their new song "Doom and Gloom." Last night's gig added some other deep cuts, including "All Down The Line" from 1972's Exile On Main Street, and "You Got Me Rockin'" from 1994's Voodoo Lounge. But we have some requests for the band when they hit the arenas.
5 Important Points From Rolling Stone's Interview With The Rolling Stones
The Rolling Stones are celebrating their 50th anniversary with a photo book, HBO documentary and what everyone was hoping for; reunion shows. The band recently spoke with Rolling Stone magazine about the anniversary and upcoming shows for a feature that will be published in the November 8th issue. Before you get your hands on it and sit down for a lengthy read, here are five points you need to know about.
The Rolling Stones To Release Two New Songs And A(nother) Greatest Hits Album
The Rolling Stones have two new songs, and they'll be available on a new collection called "GRRR!," due out on November 13. "Gloom And Doom" and "One Last Shot" were recorded at their recent sessions in Paris, France.

2004 saw Boredoms return from a 5-year hiatus with the release Seadrum/House of Sun, switching up their lineup and calling themselves V∞redoms. In addition to drummer Yoshimi P-We (of OOIOO, performer on and subject of Flaming Lips' 2002 Yoshimi Battles the Pink Robots), Kazuya Nishimura and E-Da were added to Boredoms' lineup as drummers. Drumming is not something that Boredoms take lightly: in 2007, they curated the 77 Boadrum concert which included de-facto frontman Yamantaka Eye and 77 drummers—and on August 8, 2008 at 8:08 PM, they topped that by performing an 88-minute composition with 88 drummers. (Check out the incredible list of drummers for both events here and here.)
Accordingly, Seadrum contains lots and lots (and lots) of percussion. Some of the drums were set up at a beach on wooden planks and recorded right up next to the ocean. As the tide came in, and the drums started to get wet, they started miking the drums sounds from under the water. If you are familiar with their previous work, then this album/song could most closely be compared to the droning, tribal drumming and krautrock-influenced sound of their 1999 release, Vision Creation Newsun. If you aren't, then this is a perfect place to start.

I'm fairly new to TIG welding. I have a Dynasty 200 that I bought a month ago along with the Miller Contractor's package with foot pedal control. When I got the welder I also got a 125 cu ft Argon cylinder. Almost all of my welding to date has been with a 1/16" electrode and a #5 cup. I've set the flow control to the recommended 15 cu ft /hour.
I was surprised by the rate at which the Argon is disappearing so I checked the hidden menu for total arc time and number of arc starts. Total arc time is a tick over 3 hours and number of arc starts was 720. (OK, so I'm not very good yet!) I'm using the "auto" setting for post flow. I calculate that accounting for post flow time for all those arc starts plus the total arc time I should have used 60 to 70 cu ft of argon but I've used substantially more than that.
Is it possible that the flow control gauge set is giving me more flow than is indicated? I'm using the gauge set supplied by Miller in the Contractor's package.

Argon consumption
If you know how long your post flow time actually is and multiply that by the arc starts (720), it is amazing how fast a small bottle of argon will disappear...

Im not sure how the "auto" works but I NEVER use it. Every time i have, it was twice as long as It needed to be (on AC can't speak for DC). I don't think i have ever been higher than 8 sec. But thats just me.

Sounds like you need a Smith Equipment .026" Flow Restrictor
Just a reminder, the tank valve must be FULLY OPEN. Some valves will leak if not backseated.
How much pressure did your tank start with & what are you at now? It is doubtful that your gauge is off by much if at all. Did you soap all your connections to check for leaks? 3 hrs. with 720 starts & postflow would probably use most of a 120 cu bottle. Do you have preflow also?MM250

No preflow or only .2 sec if any. Bottle started with about 2200 psi and I'm now at a bit under 500 psi. Total time is now 3 hrs 40 minutes, 767 arc starts.
I didn't know about the possibility of a valve leak if not fully open. I'll attend to that right away!
Thanks for the inputs.

A quick update: I followed the good advice and did a soap bubble leak check at all fittings and found a significant leak at the fitting between gauge set and bottle valve. I have to admit that the pressure shown on the gauges would bleed down to zero within a couple of minutes of shutting off the bottle valve. Duh! I don't know why I thought that might be OK. That's stopped now.
Many thanks
