                                          Special tip for preparing dry beans:
                                          SOAKING BEANS
                                          OVERNIGHT METHOD: Add 1¾ qt cold water to every 1 lb of dry beans. Cover and refrigerate overnight. Discard the water. Proceed with recipe.
                                          QUICK-SOAK METHOD: Boil 1¾ qt of water for each 1 lb of dry beans. Add beans and boil for 2 minutes. Remove from heat and allow to soak for 1 hour. Discard the water. Proceed with recipe.
                                          COOKING BEANS
                                          Once the beans have been soaked, add 1¾ qt water for every lb of dry beans. Boil gently with lid tilted until tender, about 2 hours. Use hot beans immediately.
                                          Critical Control Point: Hold for hot service at 135 °F or higher.
                                          OR
                                          Chill for later use.
                                          Critical Control Point: Cool to 70 °F within 2 hours and to 40 °F or lower within an additional 4 hours.
                                          1 lb dry Navy beans = about 2¼ cups dry or 5⅞ cups cooked beans.
