Drain and rinse the beans before cooking them. Quick-soak method: Rinse the beans, then put in a saucepan, cover with an inch of water, and bring to a boil. Boil for a few minutes and then let them soak for an hour off the heat, drain, and then add fresh water and continue cooking. Soaked beans will cook in about 90 minutes. Use 3 cups of water for each cup of uncooked beans, and you can season the beans by adding bay leaves, herb sprigs, or garlic cloves to the cooking water.
Instead of taking over an hour in a regular pot on the stovetop, you can cook beans in a pressure cooker in minutes instead. Black beans, for instance, can take about 2 1/2 hours to cook on a regular stovetop. Soaking the beans first will cook them faster, but even then you are looking at a total cooking time of around 1 1/2 hours. In a pressure cooker, your pre-soaked black beans cook in just 9-11 minutes.
