10. I cook them long and slow, with no soaking. Do rinse, however. And looks for pebbles.

My best beans have a ham bone cooked in them, but usually just use salt, pepper, garlic, a spoon full of brown sugar, a pinch of dried pepper, or a chopped jalapeno, or a squirt of hot sauce, whatever I have, just a bit of heat for subtle flavor. With cornbread, the recipe cooked in iron skillet without Yankee sugar!
