Overnight or 6 to 8 hour in plenty of cold water. Or there is a quick soak recipe. Rinse and sort beans. Bring to a boil in water. Remove from heat. Let stand covered for an hour. Drain and rinse. Ready to go!

I put four cups of beans in the 11 cup slow cooker and fill it up with water to the brim. I've never measured the amount of water, but it's more than 7 cups, because there's quite a bit of air in four cups of dry beans. When they're done, they fill up the slow cooker, and all the water's gone. I have to add about a half cup of water to finish them off. I get the same result regardless of the species of bean I use. ≤7÷4 ≤1.75. So one cup of dry beans soaks up close to 2 cups of water.

no, because if they are staying soaked in HOT water overnight the peels will come off and the inside will get mushy and gooey, so its not a very good idea to soak beans in hot water overnight ALTHOUGH if they're gonna be soaked in cold water its fine, even though i don't see why you would want to soak beans in COLD

They will get sour after a day or two unless you change the water. Keep them in the fridge until you can cook them.
