                                          Tips for Soaking Dry Beans
                                          1 lb dry kidney beans = about 2½ cups dry or 6¼ cups cooked 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.
                                          Tips for Cooking Dry Beans
                                          Once the beans have been soaked, add 1¾ qt water for every 1 lb of dry beans. Boil gently with lid tilted until tender, about 2 hours. Use cooked beans immediately.
