Bring to the boil and leave to soak for an hour.

All about beans.

Sorry, that link may not have taken you to the right page - Go to the section down the left hand side "How to soak beans"

Boil beans in water for 3 minutes in a heavy pot.
Cover and set aside for 2 hours.
Drain and discard the water and rinse beans

If you have a pressure cooker they are great for cooking beans.

A bit more comprehensive than my post and the link is useful.

I have usually found an hour is adequate.

Nice stainless steel pressure cookers were at Lidl's for £19.99 just before xmas they may still have some. They are standard size so the usual gaskets for stainless steel pressure cookers fit these if you are daft enough to put the lid down and the cooker top and then light the gas.
