1 Cover the beans with water and boil for 2-3 minutes (no soaking). 2  Discard water, rinse beans and cook in fresh water, beef, chicken or vegetable broth until tender. 3  If recipes call for other ingredients, add them to the broth and beans mixture as if cooking with plain water. Place beans in a pot and add 10 cups of water for every 2 cups of beans. 2  Heat to boiling and boil for an additional 2 to 3 minutes. 3  Remove beans from heat, cover and let stand for 4 to 24 hours.
No, that water's pretty dirty, and as mentioned, it contains the chemicals that cause gas. It's a much better idea to soak the beans, drain the water and rinse the soaked beans, then to cook the beans in plenty of fresh water.*That* broth, from cooking the beans, is terrific as a base for soups or as broth for rice!
