Cooking Instructions

Long Soak and Simmer:

Long soak and simmer on the stove, which takes about 8 hours or overnight plus 2 hours 

For the long soak method, add the beans to a large bowl and cover with several inches of water. As the beans rehydrate, they triple in size — adding plenty of water is key. Soak the beans 8 hours or overnight. After soaking the beans, you can cook them. 

QUICK SOAK & SIMMER:

Quick soak and simmer on the stove, which takes about 3 hours

For the quick soak method, add the beans to a large pot, cover with several inches of water and bring to a boil. Boil for 5 minutes then take the pot off of the heat and let the beans sit in the water for 1 hour. After soaking the beans, you can cook them. 

To cook the soaked beans, add them to a large pot, cover the beans with several inches of water, and bring everything to a boil. Reduce the heat and simmer until they reach your desired tenderness, 1 and 1/2 to 2 hours.
