If so how do you cook them? In crock pot?

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!

I cook beans in a large batch and freeze them in large ziplock bags for future use.
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.

We do refried... soak, boil, refry, delicious!

Soak and then drain and cook in the crockpot. I do a big batch and freeze in Pyrex

Dry beans. Soak for at least 3-4 hours. Simmer on stove top or crock pot. (Black eyed peas or Split pea)
Canned beans. Drain and rinse with water. Simmer on stove top or crockpot. (Navy, Kidney beans for Chili or Black beans)

I usually put dry beans in water and bring to a boil, then turn off, cover, and let them soak for awhile (hours). Then I boil them again until soft.
