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 6 to 8 cups hot water. Heat to boiling, boil 2 minutes, then set aside for an hour or so before draining and cooking.

(This method does 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.)

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.
