Dry Beans can be cooked without soaking, but soaking cuts down cooking time and pot-watching. Try these methods: One hour hot soak: to one pound of California dry beans any variety, add six to eight cups hot water. Heat to boiling, boil 2 minutes , then set aside for an hour or so before draining and cooking. ( This method will do in one hour, what 15 hours of cold soaking accomplishes)

Overnight Salt Soak: to one pound of California dry beans, add 6 cups cold water and 2 teaspoons salt. Let stand overnight or for several hours. ( The salt helps beans to absorb water more evenly and keep their shape better)
