Soaking is just the process of reconstituting the food stuff which has been dried!. You can shorten the soaking time by increasing the cooking time!. Simmer them for two hours now on a really low heat then soak in the same water for a few hours, drain, then cook as normal!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
Put one pound of beans in a gallon of water with salt and bring to a boil!. Let sit for an hour!. Bring back up to a boil and simmer for about an hour!.
I find if you try to boil without the hour break they do not cook as well and tend to burn!. Www@FoodAQ@Com
