Put SOAKED beans into any pot until half-full.
Add water or broth to cover the beans, plus 2" more.
Bring to boil.
Boil 10 - 15 minutes.
Turn heat to medium simmer (slight bubbling).
Cook, covered, until beans are tender (can take anywhere from 1 hour to 3 hours, depending on type, age, and temperament of the beans).
Add seasonings when beans are getting close to done.
Add salt last.
