- Before preparing dried beans, sort through for tiny pebbles or shriveled beans.
- To cook beans, cover with fresh water and simmer 1-2 hours. Beans should always be covered with water or they will dry out. If overcooked, they will fall apart.
- If soaked for 12-24 hours before use, cooking time can be shortened to about 30 minutes. *Do not add salt to the soaking water. Drain water and rinse with fresh water before cooking.
