(1 rating)
Before preparing dried beans, sort through for tiny pebbles or shriveled beans. Dried beans need to be soaked befor they are cooked. The best way to soak dried beans is to cover them in cold water and bring to a gentle boil, turn off heat and allow beans to soak in water for 1 or 2 hours. *DO NOT add salt to the soaking water. Drain water and rinse with fresh water. To cook beans, cover soaked beans with fresh water and simmer for 1 to 2 hours. Do not let the beans dry out, beans should always be covered with water.
