| Parboil beans for 10 minutes with 1tsp of baking soda |
| Use a large casserole with a tight fitting lid for the final cooking. |
| Boil some water that you will use to cover the beans when you put them in the oven, about one quart. This will shorten the cooking time because the oven won't have to waste time heating the water. |
