  you could just soak them over night, rinse them well, and then cook them the next day--in a crock pot, regular stovetop method, in the pressure cooker, or in the oven in a dutch oven @ about 300-325. 

   I tend to do the 'quick soak method', when you rinse the beans, boil them for one minute, and then let them sit for an hour. this is a bit better for digestive purposes. I nearly always coo them in my pressure cooker, since it's faster. sometimes I put them in the crockpot overnight on low for eight hours. sometimes I cook them in the oven, but that takes as long as the stovetop method. . .

   and I always cook them the night before, so I don't have to fuss after work, and freeze half for later.

  Thanks, I'm going to try and make the switch. Cooking and freezing some sounds like a great idea, too.
