    The Quick-Soaking Method

    1. Put beans in a pot and cover them with 2 inches of water.
    2. Place pot on high heat and bring water to boil.
    3. After beans have boiled uncovered for 2 minutes, cover the pot and remove from heat.
    4. Allow beans to sit for 1 hour (chickpeas will take a bit longer).
    5. Beans are ready to cook!

    Oven Cooking

    1. Preheat oven to 350°F.
    2. Place picked-over, rinsed, soaked, and drained beans in oven-safe pot and cover with 2 inches of fresh water.
    3. Bake for 1 hour (chickpeas will take a bit longer).
