Preparation

Sort and rinse beans before preparing.

• Overnight soak: Cover generously with water and soak 8–12 hours in the refrigerator. Drain and rinse before cooking.
• Quick soak: Cover with water, boil for 2 minutes, remove from heat, cover, and rest 1 hour. Drain and rinse.
• No soak: Cook directly from dry, allowing extra cooking time and adding water as needed.

Cover with fresh water about 2 inches above the beans, bring to a boil, then simmer until fully tender. Soaked beans may take about 45–75 minutes; older beans, altitude, and water hardness can extend cooking time. Check tenderness rather than relying on the clock.

Hard-water tip: If beans stay firm, try low-mineral bottled water or softened water. Add acidic ingredients such as tomatoes or vinegar after the beans are tender.

Storage

• Dry beans: Store in an airtight container in a cool, dry place.
• Cooked beans: Refrigerate in shallow, sealed containers within 2 hours of cooking (within 1 hour above 90°F). Keep at 40°F or below and use within 3–4 days, or freeze for longer storage.
