Then I boil them again until soft.

I throw them in my 5 qt pot, fill it with water, and boil it for 2 hours. I usually boil it plain to turn it into chili.. I've boiled it with bacon, onion, garlic, and a bay leaf. I cook it overnight in my crockpot when I remember to. lovehoneybee on "Do you ever cook beans?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-cook-beans#post-567749 Thu, 14 Feb 2013 23:32:56 +0000 lovehoneybee 567749@https://boards.hellobee.com/ I usually soak them for a few hours in my enameled cast iron pot (5Q?), drain them and let them sit in the colander. Meanwhile I saute a diced onion and some garlic in a tiny bit of olive oil for a minute or two, add the beans, a bay leaf, salt, pepper and enough stock (I usually use vegetable or chicken, or water) to cover the beans by about two inches, bring it to a boil then let it simmer, covered, for several hours. Sometimes if I have it I throw in some sausage or a ham hock. If I'm making lentils the process goes a whole lot faster, because they don't take long to cook. I've never made them in the crock pot, I'll have to try that someday!

In crock pot?
