[edit] Tips, Notes, and Variations
- As beans are a natural product, pick over beans, discarding any stones, dirt particles, or discolored beans before soaking or cooking.
- If you have hard water in your area, adding ⅛ teaspoon baking soda will reduce the cooking time.
- Make sure water covers beans by at least 2 inches (5 centimeters), check on water level every little while and don't let the top beans get above the water.
