FAQ
  How should I prepare dry beans?
 
  1. Before cooking always examine, sort and rinse well.
  2. For each pound (2 cups) of dry beans, add 6-8 cups hot water in a pot large enough to permit expansion. Boil 3 minutes, cover and soak 1-4 hours adding water as needed to keep beans covered.
  3. Drain off soaked water and rinse. Add 6 cups of hot water for every pound (2 cups) of soaked beans.
  4. Boil gently until desired tenderness is reached (depending on variety. usually 1 to 2 hours).
  5. Season to taste.
