Dry beans should be soaked in water for at least 12 hours and more appropriately, 24-hours, before use. It's best to separate the dry beans first - removing any that are deformed or bad or not even beans... just a casual scan of them is fine.

Then rinse the beans.

Then soak the beans and change the water about every 4-8 hours.

Use salted water.

This will remove the toxins that cause flatulence (farting) - and also soften the beans up so they are easier to cook. Nobody likes grainy, mealy beans.
