FIRST TIP

Ever wonder why sometime it seems to take forever to get dry beans to cook? It may be your water! In Las Vegas we have very hard water. The level of minerals in the water affect how long it take the dried bean to absorb the water.  If you have soft water that uses salt that can also affect the time. So if you have hard water or use a water softener, plan on a longer soak time and longer cooking time. Also ALWAYS drain the soaking water - do not use it to cook the beans.

I hope this helps!!
