- Cooking time for legumes is determined by several factors, including cooking temperature, length of soaking time, the size and age of the beans, and even the altitude at that you live. The average yield is 2 1/4 to 2 1/2 c. cooked legumes for every dry c. used.

- * Use the greater proportion of water for a porridge-like consistency.
- **Use longer cooking time for coarse grinds; use the shorter time for fine.
- ***Instead of simmering, cover pot and turn off heat. Allow grain to sit for the time specified.
- I've just discovered, thanks to an old cookbook, a faster way to cook beans, with very good results. The method is to drop the beans into boiling water sufficiently slowly which the water never stops boiling. The rational, according to the cookbook, is which the sudden heat ruptures the bean's hull. Warm water can then easily penetrate and cook the bean. No pre-soaking is required. The cookbook also suggests which after getting all the beans in the water, the heat should be turned down to as slow a simmer as possible, because excessive heat causes the proteins in the beans to get tough. Also, no salt should be added till the beans are cooked, as salt hinders the water from penetrating the bean. I've tried this with red kidney beans and lima beans, and it worked very well. They both cooked to perfectly done tenderness in 1 hour, with no pre-soaking.I haven't tried it with harder to cook beans, like soybeans.
