😊👏🏻. A tip for making beans from dried: do NOT boil them in salt water. After soaking them in water overnight, just drain and refill the pot with plain water, boil for 1.5-2 hours, and add them to any soups afterwards (in the last 5 minutes of the soup's cooking time, just enough to reheat the beans), If you cook the beans in salted water or soup, their shell will stay hard.

I love beans, I just don't eat them often because of carbs. I agree with JB, no salt while boiling. It makes them tough .

Thank you I will remember that. I so t think I have salt here anyway :-). I will take all the tips I can get and then mess them up anyway. In most things I do I am really good at them the second time :-)

I learned that adding 1 tsp of baking soda to beans cuts the cooking time and gives a creamy texture to the beans. It works by raising the pH. JustBananas gave good guidance and the baking soda is a trick I learned from Cooks Country.
