                                          How to Cook Dry Beans

                                          QUICK-SOAK METHOD: Boil 1 3⁄4 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 1 3⁄4 qt water for every 1 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.
