Oh, well, I may have messed up the red beans and rice recipe posted
recently. Though I usually have soaked beans in the past, I did not soak
these and added salt to the water. They are in my crockpot cooking on high
as I write. Hope they turn out OK.

Soak most beans in three times their volume of cold water for six hours
before cooking. (You can cook beans without soaking, but it takes longer,
and some people think the beans taste better when soaked.)
Step 3
Drain and rinse the beans, and then put them in a large pot. Add water to
come an inch or two over the beans. Do not add salt!
Putting salt in the beans will prevent them from softening.
Other beans are yellow eye beans great for new england style baked beans.
