How Do You Do A Quick Soak For Dried Beans?
To do a quick soak for dried beans, rinse the beans thoroughly to remove any debris. Place the beans in a pot and cover them with 2-3 inches of water. Bring the water to a boil, and let the beans boil for 2-3 minutes. Remove the pot from heat, cover it, and let the beans soak for 1 hour. Then drain the water, rinse the beans again, and they are ready to be cooked.
