So, I don’t know about you, but I’m not organised enough to soak beans overnight to use the next day.

This will still take about an hour, but way better than overnight (if you hadn’t started overnight).  But by the time the rest of supper is done and prepared for the beans should be done.

Without further ado:

Put beans in a pot, cover with water by about 2 inches.  Bring to a boil, and then boil for 2 minutes.  Remove from heat and let beans soak in water for 1hr. Drain and use!

Do you have another method you use?  I don’t cook beans that often, but this seems to work for me.
