Bean Soaking

Dry beans can be easily cooked without soaking at all.  However soaking does definitely cut down cooking time  substantially as well as “pot watching”.  Try these methods:

One Hour Hot Soak:  to one pound weight of California dry beans of any variety , add 6 to 8 cups of hot water.  Next heat to boiling point, boil approximately 2 minutes. then set aside for an hour or so duration before next draining and cooking.  ( This method will do in one hour what 15 hours duration of cold soaking of the beans accomplishes)

2) Overnight Night Salt Soak:  to one pound of California dry beans. add 6 ups of Cold Water and 3 tablespoons salt. Keep stand overnight or for several good hours.  ( The salt itself will help the beans to absorb liquid water more evenly and this keep the shape of t the beans better for “presentation” amd serving.
