CHEF TIPS
For Soaking Dry Beans 1 lb dry black beans = about 2¼ cups dry or 4½ cups cooked beans.
Overnight Method: Add 1¾ qt cold water to every 1 lb of dry beans. Cover, and refrigerate overnight. Discard the water. Proceed with recipe.
Quick-Soak Method: Boil 1¾ qt of water for each 1 lb of dry beans. Add beans, and boil for 2 minutes. Remove from heat, and allow to soak for 1 hour. Discard the water. Proceed with recipe.
For Cooking Dry Beans Once the beans have been soaked, add 1¾ qt water for every 1 lb of dry beans. Boil gently with lid tilted until tender, about 2 hours. Use cooked beans immediately.
Critical Control Point: Hold for hot service at 140 °F or higher or chill for later use. To chill, cool to 70 °F within 2 hours and to 40 °F or lower within an additional 4 hours.
