Sort and rinse the dried beans, then put them in a large lidded saucepan of water. Bring to a boil over high heat, cover, turn off the heat, and let the beans stand for 1 hour. Drain and rinse the beans in a colander, return them to the saucepan, cover with water, and simmer for 2 hours, until the beans are tender.
