                                          1 lb dry black beans = about 2¼ cups dry or 4½ cups cooked beans.

                                          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.
