Don't Waste Your Precious Bean-Soaking Water
by Claire Lower from Lifehacker on (#5PK3A)
My favorite beans are lima beans, which means I'm no stranger to the overnight bean soak. You might be able to get away with skipping the soaking step with lesser beans, but the lima requires it. (If there is one thing that I hate feeling between my teeth, it is an undercooked, mealy lima bean.)
