I use a method similar to Bang's except I bring the beans to a boil and then shut the heat off and let soak for two hours. Works pretty good for me!

I cover the beans with enough water to cover by 2 inches. Bring to a boil and cook for 5 minutes......then remove from heat cover and let sit for one hour.
