  To cook the dry beans in a 4 1/2-quart Dutch oven, combine the beans and
  enough water to cover.  Bring to boiling then reduce  the heat and simmer,
  uncovered, for 2 minutes.  Remove from the heat, cover, and let stand for 1
  hour.  (Or without cooking, soak the beans overnight.)  Drain the beans and
  rinse.  In the same Dutch oven combine the beans and 5 cups of water or
  vegetable broth.  Bring to boiling, reduce the heat, cover and simmer for 1
  to 1 1/2 hours or until tender.
