Cooking Dry Beans

Hi -

I was taught to soak dry beans overnight . . . before cooking them.  Well, today I did some reading and learned that that isn't necessarily true.  Also, I learned additional information relative to cooking kidney beans.  Glad for that helpful and healthy information about them.

The links below share about cooking dry beans.

Note: I followed what was shared in the content of the first link (shown above) and cooked my pinto beans WITHOUT soaking them at all . . . I didn't use the same seasonings as she did, though.  I simmered mine for 90 minutes on top of the stove.
